Happy Monday! This weeks Macro Monday theme is New Year Resolution. This year, my resolution is to paint more. It’s something that I LOVE to do, yet spend so little time doing it (isn’t that sad?) I can’t tell you how happy and narcissistic it makes me feel when I look at my walls, and they are filled with paintings!

I also want to grow my etsy “hobby” and turn it into a “business” (ideally, and this is just a whimsical dream– I would like to be able to be able to make a happy, viable living from this “hobby”) I want to be able to add my paintings and drawings to my shop, in addition to adding alot more large photographic prints. I will be looking into spending alot more time marketing myself (which is my LEAST favorite thing to do in the world) and am considering placing ads on different strategic sites (which I’ve not yet found.) I am also going to submit my cards/prints to the Renegade store in Chicago. (this, by the way, was a resolution from that year that was a major FAIL.)
So now that I’ve made my deepest, darkest resolution public, I may need some gentle reminders and nudges– feel free to email/twitter/and or comment here and hold me accountable!!!
Have a great day!!!

Good for you! I have been away from my color pencils and am really missing them. So I am going to try to draw more in the new year also.
