How will I ever find love…

When no one will love or miss my presence as much as my dog? Seriously, she has set the bar so, so high.

Anywho…

The gamification plan has been going well so far. Though I may miss a daily goal here or there, I’m finding it helps to keep me on track and keeps me doing the things I forget or avoid doing. That little on screen reward gives me just the right amount of serotonin (I think it’s serotonin. Maybe it’s dopamine? Whatever.) to keep coming back and trying each day. I’m looking forward to slowly expanding my daily tasks and get some new habits going.

In my continuous effort to set some goals for the next decade, I’ve been struggling with the idea both of tattoo flash and some singular art pieces. Regarding the flash, I like the idea of creating flash, but at the same time, I think most of my ideas might be more successful as designs for stickers. The idea with the flash was to ultimately compile it into a book that read like some newly discovered, hidden tome of art, maybe one that tells the story of the artist. It’s delightfully ambitious, but with that ambition comes the increased chance of not completing it. I think I’d rather just get the art done in as straightforward a manner as possible rather than weigh myself down. These designs are ultimately supposed to be ridiculous and fun, not something serious.

With the singular pieces, I want to take some time to make some, but I also have a good deal of work to go to finish Ephemerol. I don’t want to set my sights too high and weigh myself down to the point that I just don’t seem to get anything done. It’s so easy to let my mind soar only to go beyond the pale when it comes to achievability.

I’m excited about both, along with my other projects all the same. I just want to set myself up for success.

Dicks for listening!
