I'm having an anxiety day. I'm pretty sure I've just hit my coffee tolerance level and its making me feel like a full body case of restless legs. There are things I want to do and should do but I feel too shaky to move about but also too antsy to sit still.

This is not at all a depressed or sad post. I don't mean it that way, I just physically feel anxious for no reason and its making me physically feel bad. I'd rather have a headache. To be fair, recently my diet has consisted of primarily coffee and cereal and thats probably the reason I feel this way. I did go to the grocery store earlier but nothing sounded good. I'm hungry, and I don't know what to eat. Working a 7-7 job essentially as well is killing my appetite as well. Because I don't feel like cooking when I get home. The past 2 jobs over the past however many years, usually I've been home by about 4pm. This schedule is just not jiving with my stomach.

I'm also struggling a bit with keeping up with all the twitter replica websites. I just can't find it in me to upload. I feel like its annoying to copy and paste my thoughts on each website.

My inner obsessive-self has redirected its obsession to reading so I'm finding it hard to stay focused on art internet because I'd rather be reading. Although today, I'd really like to read but its like a strong case of ADHD is just not letting me focus.

Ive been enjoying uploading to youtube but again, it doesn't look like I'm going to be successful this weekend. I did manage to draw half an image I actually kind of like and I was going to paint but thats why I'm here on tumblr. I cant get my body to chill. Calm down girl, you got stuff you want to do. Music is annoying me, the tv is annoying me, I'm overstimulated in this moment. Thats the sad thing too, I have tv shows/movies I want to watch. I went to the gym already and I've sat in the bathtub and took a bubble bath.

This is actually kind of one of those days I wish I was at work because it lets me blow off steam but at the same time I really just want to read and paint and my brain wont let me.

Welcome to my brand new blog!! This is my attempt at reaching out and expanding my audience so that more and more people can see the jewellery that I make.

Forewarning, I'm not the most social media-fluent, and I've rarely used Tumblr before so that means that my content is going to be sorely lacking for a while :,)

Check me out on Instagram if you're interested and want to see more!!

I am working on some personal projects now one will be the revamp of my artist bio picture on my Carrd.co page. The other was a attempt at participating in 'Taur'gust but, I got distracted >///<.

I have 3 WIPS now and I really need to be better about finishing stuff.

What a Weird Week

Isn’t having kids such a magical, wonderful and not-at-all stressful experience?

No.

The answer is “no”.

Our daughter came home from school on Friday with a weird pink rash just above her lip. She seemed relatively normal so we didn’t worry too much. We assumed it may have been where she’d fallen asleep on the bus ride home.

The next day, she looked like she had a botched botox procedure in her upper lip. It was 3 times the size as normal. We didn’t know what it could be but she didn’t seem to be screaming out in pain. For context, our daughter cannot speak so we have to go by body language and the pitch of noise she makes.

Then I noticed that one side of her neck had a large lump on it. And that, folks, is when my panic meter went from 1 to a billion. My sister had Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, as did a close friend. They both came out the other side, but that’s what my mind immediately conjured up when I saw this lump. So we called the out of hours doctor and waited to be called back. After a few hours, we went in for a physical examination.

Methodology

Writing these blogs has been quite the surprise for me as I did not anticipate that there would be much that I would learn, I now know that all I really needed was for an external presence to encourage me to do so.

After all of this I can still say for certain that my strengths lie in making art not understanding academic text however this experience has taught me that not all academic reading is something to be afraid of. In fact I was actually quite surprised when I found myself enjoying a few, even though I do still find many difficult to comprehend. However I am comforted by the knowledge that this is indeed a shared experience among many.

While writing this I can see how my approach in mentality to certain methods of working has changed, especially when drawing people in real time, something that I once dreaded has now become my favourite way to not only learn but to pass the time.

With great hesitancy I began by exploring methods and topics that I was acquainted and most comfortable, however after changing my methodology to experiment with new practices and approach I found my practice growing not only faster but in quality, also finding the process more enjoyable than anticipated.

Previously I would fear experimenting with new methods in fear of making a mistake and later being discouraged because of it, however I have found that mind-set to have totally transformed. I now see a challenge as something to take on as a learning experience rather than something to be feared. My methodology which was once reserved has now become fruitful in experimentation. All the blogs were of topics of interest to me which I now will apply to my future practice.

The main theme of my blogs were how I can further my skills as an artist and how I could utilise them in order to create work that may resonate with the public. This was the case with the blog discussing drawing strange people and finding the fantastical around us in order to create an interesting and playful work of art.

Unsurprisingly I found experimental research to be the most beneficial as it puts your knowledge to the test through application in your practice. I have also found that after all of this research I have come out with a better understand about the history and the ongoing purpose illustration and more specifically reportage has, especially in regard to current affairs.

As these are personal blogs there is a heavy element of bias which could show me in a more favourable light as I did find myself picking topics that would benefit me for the future but were still within my comfort zone such as the case with the timed sketches. The only blog that was truly out of my realm was creating paper artwork and I am able to walk away from the experience even more knowledgable.

There is heavy personal bias when I discuss the progress made in my sketches of people in real time as the analysis of my own work is done so to my own criteria of what I perceive to be good. Overall this is highly subjective and believe that this may of benefited with the perspective of another individual.

In hindsight I do believe I could have gone into more depth in many of the blogs in regards to analysis but found myself discussing my progress and findings in the blogs in a more subjective and emotional manner. Although I believe at its core illustration is subjective, seeing and researching the perspective of the discipline through academia may in future broadened my analysis and enrich my practice further.

To conclude this post, I have found that through these blogs I have deepened my skills as an illustrator as well as my ability to understand academic text and my ability to critically analyse however that is skill that remains ongoing. I have learned about the history of illustration and reportage and its current application which will aid in my personal practice, I look forward to exploring my practice through research and experimentation for the future and to see how that will change me as an illustrator.

I never uploaded here, the other week I uploaded this. Some weeks ago, Grabie reached out to me and sent me some of their art products to review. Which was super cool. I am so thankful that so many companies have found me to let me try stuff. Lord knows I dont have a big following, I just really enjoy hoarding art supplies. It is just like the coolest thing ever this day and age to receive stuff like that via the internet. My hobbyist self is so thankful.

I just haven't felt like turning the internet on recently. I skipped this last week uploading to youtube and part of that was I just didn't feel like it but the other part was I worked a lot these past 2 weeks even though I put my foot down and said I wouldn't pick up extra anymore..I did end up picking up extra. Also, I had to do some boring adult chores and phone calls all that just takes so much time and effort.

I had to take my dog to the vet for her annual stuff last week and I would have rather have gone to the dentist for myself twice than do that again lol. I liked my old vet before we moved and I didn't jive with this place. Then on the way home my car started giving me funky warnings. So I had to take it to the shop. They told me a lot needed to be fixed which was already a fortune on top of paying for the dogs stuff. This is annoying but murphy's law states that if your spouse is gone for work, everything breaks. So I was already waiting for things to break and already had money set aside for when these events finally occur. So I had to spend half my day at this car place because I'm alone and have nobody to chauffeur me around. That zaps your energy.

My blessed coworkers were super sweet though when I told them about my car ordeal. They demanded to see my receipts and car (like they were physically at my car after work) and told me to never spend money like this without referring to them first because I probably got ripped off and they were concerned about my gullible-ness and lack of car education. I actually thought this was a really nice gesture. I didn't know that I could use coworkers as this sort of reference and I probably still wont. But nice people.

we had an accreditation survey at work. And I'm overly loud and oversharing of all things. They probably should have locked me away somewhere. I don't know why they allowed me on the premises during this survey or why I've grown this way as I've gotten older. The place I work is pretty sketch as it is.

Also got a concerning phone call from my spouse about a health incident re my MIL and I thought I was going to have to drive to Arizona for a minute. Everything is fine I think.

otherwise I just work, run home and turn on Disney Dreamlight Valley. Its kinda sad. I'm kinda tired. I have a terrible headcold too. I had to sleep last night with a paper towel tied to my face because face juice just kept leaking out uncontrollably.

I was gonna be like "oh I can draw hands" but tbh I don't draw much these days so I don't really know. And idk how good my hands actually are.

I spent like 4 minutes on this. (it's not supposed to be realistic jsyk). It's not shaded or colored and that's a whole thing, but like in terms of broad shapes and "is this actually a hand", do you think this is a hand?

It’s important for us to stay true to our art! 🎨🎙️🎤 . Stay true! 🛣️ The artist’s journey, just like any journey, is rarely a straight path. You will have roadblocks, flat tires, and engine trouble. You may want to leave your car—a.k.a. leave the art style that makes you genuinely happy—for a vehicle that may seem more promising—a.k.a. a style, genre, or an entirely new art due to fears that your current style can’t “flourish,�� be “likable or accepted by society”, and/or be “profitable.” Do not enter 🛑 Many artists who make a living from their art don’t advise changing vehicles (I don’t either). While innovations, repairs, and enhancements to your art are necessary (and recommended because that’s what growth and getting better produce), a total change for a non-passionate course is not. Through many versions, “failures,” and experimentation of my creativity, I’ve learned that passion is often the gasoline that accelerates our vehicle (our desire to continue growing and creating). I’ve also learned passion often resides within our ‘genuinely happy‘ art. “If you don’t love it, you’re gonna lose to someone who does.” - Naval 🏁 The new vehicle may be shiny and sort after by many; however, with no gas, you won’t move to a distinguishable distance. You would also increase your chances of stress and anxiety due to a lack of happiness (from not engaging in the art that truly inspires you.) Your art is YOUR art! 🎙️ While it’s recommended to be analytical—test different methods, theories, and assumptions— changing the type of art that generally makes you happy to people please or from fear isn’t recommended. Passion is necessary for accelerating your artistic journey, and more than likely your passion lives within the genuine art you enjoy making! Stay consistent with the art you enjoy creating and watch your successful destination get closer and closer on your road to greatness. [not written by ChatGPT 😂] .
