welcome to my attempt

After spending I'm not sure how many hours doing research and looking at I don't know how many blogs by other artists, I found that the art world is blogging without me. So I stepped out of MySpace and decided to take a shot at blogging to an audience that isn't comprised of 15 year olds taking photos of themselves in the mirror or with Photo Booth on their Mac. Besides, you want to hear about my art, you don't want to see the results to the 15,000 dumb quizzes I've taken, like what Egyptian God I am and what planet I'm from (Mars, thanks for asking). Okay, so I took those quizzes on my personal profile and not my business profile, but still....this is better.

Here I hope to post updates on what I'm working on and just my general feelings about my life as an artist and trying to make a living as such. I'll try not to do a great deal of whining...but I can't promise anything. From what I read, there are ranting blogs, inspirational blogs and just kind of whatever blogs so I think an occasional whiner won't make people run for cover (hopefully).

I'm doing this at an art fair, which 1) isn't conducive to good sales, I know, but 2) gives me something to do because the show in general hasn't been conducive to good sales and this way I'm not falling asleep. Besides, this is one of the only shows that has wi-fi, so it's not like I'm going to be doing this all the time. (I prefer to whine in the comfort of my own home) Plus I do put the computer down to help people and do look up to acknowledge those that wander in. I might be bored but I'm not rude.

So! Come along on the adventure of me and my blog! (Or is it my blog and I......)

Ok. whining and whingeing is good as you've made me laugh with your first blog entry! Welcome to the (slightly desperate) world of the blogging artist - gotta get our work seen somehow huh?
And thanks for the positive feedback on MY blog. (I am a ranter, a whiner and a whinger who sometimes pretends to be professional and deletes all previous rantings. People still visit my blog tho, so just go ahead and let it all out...)

Mars huh? I would have guessed Saturn. Word.
