Okay, so this picture obviously isn't finished. It's a start, and it's not where I want to be as far as skill goes. But so is my art career. It's just beginning, and I'm finding my footing right now. Eventually I'll be striding confidently wherever I go!
Goals,
Double my salary within a year. YES! DOUBLE! How? Keep my current job, lol, (that's not cheating) and be making equivalent amounts of money selling my art! Wow, what a freakin' HUGE goal. It's actually incredibly frightening putting that down in print. So that means I will be working extra hard. I lost my book on How to Survive and Prosper as an Artist. Sucky. Guess I'm buying another one. Anyway, instead of making tons of tiny goals, I made one huge blanket goal that basically encompasses all the rest. Like, getting stuff in a gallery, how else am I supposed to make the big bucks!?
All awesomeness and dreamland warm fuzzies aside, I am seriously questioning this economy's ability to handle the art career. I have been for a while, and things seem to be circling the drain right now. Last I remember unemployment was at 9.5%. Ouch. But at the same time, artists ARE known for picking up the worst areas and making them extremely successful... so, maybe what this economy NEED'S is artists! lol. We'll stick with that mindset.
LOVES!
