Hey there, everyone! It's time for another exciting update on what's been happening in my world. Grab a cup of coffee, sit back, and let me fill you in on the latest adventures. šØšš±š¤š»š
I have some fantastic news to share!
I recently sold multiple Warhammer figurines, and believe it or not, someone is even considering ordering a custom army from me. How awesome is that? It's incredibly fulfilling to see my passion for miniature painting and customization resonating with others. See our shop here:
In addition to the Warhammer sales, we also made our first sale of a home-resin-printed DnD figurine. It's thrilling to think that our creations are making their way into tabletop adventures and bringing joy to fellow gamers.
And guess what? Brace yourselvesāI sold a doll that I made out of a glove! Can you believe it? It's my first-ever doll sale, and it went to someone who goes by the name "Stephen King" (no, not the famous author, but still pretty cool). This unexpected success has left me beaming with joy.
On the professional front, I'm making strides in my art career. I've been networking, connecting with fellow artists, and exploring opportunities. But that's not allāI've also developed an art coaching workbook that I'm currently testing on willing participants. It's an exciting endeavor that combines my artistic skills with my passion for teaching.
As many of you know, I've always been fascinated by psychology. Well, now I'm taking steps to bring together my love for art and my interest in psychology. My ultimate goal is to become an art therapist. While I currently offer life coaching services within my limited credentials, I'm eager to pursue a master's program in art therapy in the future. It's an ambitious plan, but I'm ready to take it on!
Focus is key, right? Well, I'm working on collecting my thoughts and organizing my ideas so that I can start writing grants for funding. This will help me further my artistic pursuits and bring my creative visions to life.
Oh, and I have to mention how much I adore ChatGPT! It's been an invaluable tool in my creative journey, helping me refine my ideas and expand my horizons. The possibilities are endless when we harness the power of AI.
As a fun personal milestone, I've started filling out my very first Dungeons & Dragons character sheet. It's a new experience for me, and I'm excited to immerse myself in this imaginative world.
On the home front, we've planted a beautiful garden, and I'm tending to it with great care. It's a meditative and rewarding process to nurture and watch as nature flourishes around me. Amidst all the scattered activities, I promise you'll soon see the singularity emerging, and it'll become abundantly clear.
Lastly, to expand on my content, coaching, and development I will be including some artistic writing by a fellow illustration artist:
Sam Matter
Introducing Sam Matter, Libra, his life is a mix of auspicious moments and messed-up experiences. Grateful for where he is, Sam embraces tolerance for horrid people and toxic situations. Residing in Minnesota, in a quirky small town with its fair share of douchebags, Sam finds solace in its safety.
Sam's ultimate passion lies in communication. He compulsively shares references, narratives, descriptions, and anecdotes in every interaction, carefully restraining himself to avoid overwhelming others. Teaming up with Lea and Wartdog Studios, he has begun preparing a few products, such as Danger Cat, a fashion brand that touches hearts through fluffy magic.
Sam believes in the power of one-on-one conversations to reach hearts and connect on a deeper level. Sam's goal? To showcase his art to the world, discuss his beloved cat Furball, and spread the gospel of Furball's fluffiness. Seeking fame not for personal gain but to inspire self-love and eradicate profit from suffering, Sam's dreams of a free world challenge his personal identity. Join him on this alluring journey of art, communication, and the enigmatic Furball.
Sam will provide us with regular artistic writing, and he and I will be developing his tee shirts for Danger Cat! Follow him on Facebook! Explore this website's updates, I am the webmistress so if you see anything amiss with the site send an email to my webzone.
That wraps up this update, my dudes. Thank you for joining me on this journey and for your continued support. Stay tuned for more exciting developments, artistic creations, and the occasional dose of my scattered brilliance. Until next time! šØšš±š¤š»š
Excited to read sam's blog posts š
