Satan Gives With Both Hands

I don’t have anything good to tell you. I really don’t. I need to get another paid game going ASAP but I’m so tired y’all. I may not have Medicaid for much longer. I don’t know how it’ll shake out. I am not making art money. Not enough anyway. I’m struggling to get merch made. I watched a YouTube video about what sells and what doesn’t. Apparently I should make sticker sheets and washi tape. Stationary does well too, but I have looked up the prices of getting little notebooks made and they cost A LOT. So that’s not going to happen any time soon.

And this is fun! ICE is poised to be the American Gestapo with the absolute shitload of money the Big Shit Billionaire Bill gives them.

The abstract struggle is real! I have a second piece, yellow and purple which is like the blue/orange one I posted last week. In all likelihood these are the two pieces that are going to make it to the show. This is an extreme close-up. Funny story- when I was laying out the base colors, I searched mt acrylic paint drawer for fluorescent yellow, and couldn’t find a tube so I assumed that the set of florescents I bought didn’t come with yellow. THEN, literally as I was applying the isolation coats to this piece I FOUND a tube of yellow fluorescent paint!! Sonofabitch!

Below is a watercolor and color pencil abstract. It’s not bad. I’m not sure it’s strong enough for the show though. I used a bit of Uniball Signo gold metallic pen in a few parts. It’s an idea worth revisiting with more metallic pens when I can get more. But I don’t think I’ll be buying art supplies at all this month. I can’t afford it. The games keep losing players and I’m waiting for a game to conclude so I can take it’s Tuesday morning slot and run my Humblewood homebrew game. Obviously the art isn’t making money. I might actually need a cheap pen tablet more than I need art supplies though. I have to look into how much it costs to have washi tape made…

Sorry there isn’t anything better to tell you all. Have an old photo of moss!
