Happy New Year Peeps
And so here it is. The year 2024. Was 2023 what I thought it was gonna be? Nope. Did I sell a shitload of art and retire? Nope. Did I do all that I could in order for this to happen? Nope.
What do I really want? No idea
Goals? No Idea
So how can you get what you want if you don’t know what that is? Fuck right off, stop making sense.
So what do I want this year?
Ok, here goes. Time to make myself accountable.
I want to have an Art show, at a gallery or a public area. Points of interest are King Tide Brewery, Open Studio or The Athletic Club.
Sell a piece of work to someone outside of my network. No family, no friends. An absolute random that likes my work.
Stick with a certain type of artwork for a period! In the next few weeks, I have a mural to do, Spray paint. But after that I want to spend a good month just painting canvases. Getting a collection ready so that I can have a show.
My biggest hurdle/worry is family and friends buying my work, feeling like they have to. I’m not a charity and want recognition because I deserve it.
I figure/feel that my art is the best way I can get my name out there. I will continue to post on social media but will do more on here as I feel this platform is better. The algorithm on Social Media is so shit. No one sees your work. You get 6 likes and they’re from the same people.
Social Media sucks. In saying that, I’m going to experiment a bit more with YouTube this year. Even something as easy as teaching how to draw. My daughter loves it.
I’m on a tangent here.
So this year, Art show, stick to one medium, post to Youtube and care less what people think.
Sorted?
Yep.
Cheers
Woodsy :)
