I'm going to be slowing down on my free bird wallpapers for a while because my day job as a college instructor starts again next week.

I'll continue to post new work, but not every night. Not as much time to draw now! Ha!

I knew this was going to happen, and as much as I wanted my series of 100 Birds to be done in time, I think that was an unrealistic expectation. I'm not disappointed--I think I could have eased up on things even if the academic year wasn't starting.

Onward!!

In the last week my art and/or writer stuff has been:

• submitted my novel to an agent for the first time ever
• got my 'Victorian Velociraptor Fashion Plates' design featured by Redbubble (no actual sales from this yet, of course)
• had my Rosellas design flop in the non-directional wallpaper Spoonflower Design Challenge (placed 700 and something)
• only mentally counted the last one and feel like a complete failure

I am looking for a good video editing program. I am trying to get away from using Adobe products. For my photography I use Affinity photo. But they don't have a video software. Does anyone have a video editing software they enjoy and which does not require monthly subscriptions?
Thanks

Oof, what a day!!

1. I called my mom, and that was delightful. Got to talk to my sister, too!

2. I completed an entire bird painting on my livestream, start-to-finish, and I think it's really pretty.

3. Lastly I watched another episode of a series I really enjoy. Over dinner, with my hubby. It was awesome!

So honestly, it's been a nice day. I can't complain. And that really makes me feel good.

As an artist, you can't be too sensitive since it is not an easy business to be in. But at times things do get to me. I have jumped through the hoops since I was born. It would be nice to stop jumping and simply be. It might have been easier to comply with what society wanted, but that is just not me. This female is NOT going down without a fight. #ArtistLife #Art #ArtMatters #HumanRights

Hug an artist today.. There are POD sites ( companies artist use to get their artwork on print and home goods) who are now raising prices and charge artist to be on their platform. Our art is what makes it possible for them to be in business. It has been a dark month for artists. #BuyIntoArt #ArtistLife #ArtEconomy #artist
