Tryna get some orders! I suck at marketing!!! But I'm learning! I'm taking an excellent business development course through Renaissance Entrepreneur Center. Learning soooo much!!<br />
I'm also thinking about a Kickstarter campaign, but you have to have a ton of contacts and I don't know how to get those. Well, I have an idea, but it seems like a lot of work! lol! Why can't I just make art?!?!<br />

What a Concept!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've been taking some classes in making art for licensing. It's out of my comfort zone, but I am learning a lot. And it's been a good way to get me back making art after the loss of my mom & my job (on the <i>same</i> day!) ...and a debilitating knee injury! (<i>both</i> knees!) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
These are online classes, so I don't have to venture out on my cane. The program is really amazing. Students are from all over the world, taught and developed by a remarkable woman, Lilla Rogers. She used to be a designer and is now a high powered agent, representing artists I really admire. She is a great teacher, very nurturing and kind, and <i>so</i> knowledgeable. The classes are packed with ACTUAL useful information! And the assignments are <i>challenging</i>, to say the least. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>My</i> greatest challenge, as you can see from the samples below, is finding a style to commit to. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In the past, as a greeting card artist and an animator, versatility was an asset. As a result, though, I </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
have no defined style of my own, really. I <i>have</i> been able to find it with my Fine Art, I am hoping these classes with help with my illustration. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I fell back on Flash vector art for this one. I suspect there's a chance this may be the style I end up with, but in the mean time I will try out other possible styles/techniques. </div>

(<i>This is also typical of my style: retro people. But "people" are not great for licensing, apparently</i>) Here you can see my first pieces using my brand new Cintique, which I bought specifically for this course! I used one at <a href="https://youtu.be/wqFsGH4uKsY?list=PL129CE2EF31292707" target="_blank">EA</a>. Not great for animating in Flash, but wonderful for freehand drawing!</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">I think this one is dumb. They always want you to do flowers, I have never been that type of artist, so I came up with this clunky mess. I think I am getting more comfortable with flowers, though, which hopefully I will prove true in the work I do in the my current class. For this assignment they also wanted us to use found objects/textures. I have loved incorporating real life textures ever since my <a href="http://www.fanpop.com/clubs/blues-clues/images/34387095/title/blues-clues-preschool-screenshot-photo" target="_blank">Blues Clues</a> days. I used them in the backgrounds of my short film <a href="https://youtu.be/aOtUvhE6eDo?list=PL129CE2EF31292707" target="_blank">"The Old Flame"</a></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"> I was thrilled for the opportunity to use pompom trim again!

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>New Class - Home Decor!</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've just started a new class that focuses on Home Decor. I f$%ked up the first assignment by leaving it til the last minute. It was to be a birds theme, and the products were to be metal. My sketches were cute but I really half assed the final piece. Needed more variety and patterns. I would like to say "I don't know what I was thinking", but the truth is I didn't have time to think because I was rushing. Asshole move. This week I am trying to get ahead of the deadline. Unlike graphic design, this is not the kind of thing I can do at the last minute. lol!</div>

I am particularly inspired by <a href="http://www.asagilland.com/asagillandportfolio/6qtv3izw9a4ybpg5hu2rv41i41yxcn" target="_blank">Asa Gilland</a> and <a href="http://tinaloeffler.de/portfolio/" target="_blank">Tina Loffler</a>. They have really defined styles and obviously know what they are doing. I have only been doing this for a couple of months, so I will try to be kind to myself. (That's hard for me!!!!) </div>

bragging, but my Super Spidey Skill is that I can always always ALWAYS
tell when a show is filmed in Canada. It's all about the actors playing
secondary characters and extras. They are less attractive and/or their
ethnic background is ill defined. On U.S. TV everyone is pretty, and
people are white, black or occasionally Asian. In Canada it's all: Is
she Indian? Middle Eastern? South American? Armenian? Or: What's with
the big nose and weirdly deep set eyes? Wait: Red hair and freckles!?!?

<br />
There's an old saying: "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions." I've never understood it. If my understanding of Hell is correct, and after 13 years of catholic school, I think it is, then a person whose actions come from a good place would not go to hell, no matter how bad the result.<br />
<br />
But tonight I was looking back on certain events in my life, times when I did a kindness for someone and they responded negatively. Like when I lent a friend money and she started to resent me. That type of thing. Or when, years ago, my mother was dying in the hospital and I took it upon myself to call her friends and tell them. Some of them were estranged, but I felt they would want to know.<br />
<br />
I was all alone in my childhood home, after a day at the hospital watching my mother unconscious and bloated. I was a wreck, but I went through her phone book and spent about two hours calling everyone I thought would care, stopping in between to cry.<br />
<br />
Some of the people cried, a few didn't seem to care. The hardest was an old family friend who was always joking and seemed hard as nails to me. She had known my mother for over fifty years, they met coming over on the boat from Germany in 1954. She wept so pitifully when I told her. It broke my heart. We cried together. It was one of the hardest things I ever had to do. <br />
<br />
Well, flash forward, my mother had a miraculous recovery! Despite getting the Last Rites TWICE! (I've been calling her my Miracle Baby ever since) Was she grateful for what I did during that terrible time? Try to guess. She had no memory of the hours I spent at the hospital, which is fine. But get this, she told me, several times in fact, that she was EMBARRASSED that I had called her friends. And might I add that, because of my phone call, one of her estranged friends got in touch with her and their friendship was renewed! That would never have happened otherwise.<br />
<br />
I realize now that old saying doesn't mean the person with good intentions will go to Hell, but that doing good or "meaning well" will often get you a slap in the face. You'll end up in your own personal Hell. Maybe everyone knows that, but I just figured it out.<br />
<br />
I've been thinking about this because my mother is sick again. This time, though, I think it's for real and not a dress rehearsal. I mean she's 89! And she's in very bad shape. She had the Last Rites again today. They call it <span class="_Tgc">"Anointing of the Sick" or something now.</span> I am so sad. I can't believe I won't ever talk to her again. Even if it's to hear that I embarrassed her. I'm supposed to perform two stand-up shows this weekend in Boston, I haven't performed in ages and I'm crying daily. It's going to be interesting. But who knows? Tomorrow I might get the call and have to cancel my trip to go to a funeral. Or maybe I'll hear she's had another miracle! Well, we'll see. Never a dull moment in SanFranita-ville.<br />

I found this wonderful illustrator the other day, <a href="http://www.taralillystudio.com/" target="_blank"><b>Tara Lilly.</b></a> Very retro, which we all know I love! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Reminds me so much of toys and children's textiles of my youth... </div>
