Satisfaction

The month of August is a busy one for us, yet simultaneously we're in the midst of somewhat of a downtime. We don't have any shows lined up for the month, so it's keeping us locked into the zone here in the studio. What does that entail, exactly? Well, we've got over 25 pieces of original art to add to our online shop... Several of those pieces need to be transformed into print productions. So, every single one must be photographed and edited before being made available to all you fine folks out there. It sounds simple, but photographing the work is often daunting for me. The lighting has to be just right, otherwise there are shadows or the color may be thrown off a bit and doesn't show true to the original hues. I should probably encourage myself to do a little happy dance or something once I get the perfect shot and have it listed. I know that highlighting it on the list as being done certainly releases a nice serving of dopamine to the brain. When it's complete, seeing the colors add to the vibrancy of the shop does something super satisfying to my soul. 

I think sometimes that people often forget the whole process of this thing goes beyond making the actual art piece. I find just about every step of the way to be satisfying...just about. There have certainly been learning curves, humps to get over and many hours of frustration dealing with technology and my adherence to near-perfectionism-but-not-quite-but-it-still-needs-to-look-just-right.

So here I sit, checking off something on the to-do list & writing more.

Enjoying the sounds of Charles Mingus. 

Happy to be doing this.

Aside from the (many) originals coming to the shop, we are also creating several new works and series by the end of the month. We will be sharing behind the scene looks at our works in progress on our upcoming newsletters and eventually here. In the meantime, prints are being restocked for future events and we're still filling online orders from all of you awesome peeps who continue to show support. Seriously, you guys are da best!

Stay freaky,
Courtney
