Long Update

Life has been throwing one curveball after another. I haven't created much between writing or art, however this week has been inspiring and productive in comparison.

Some happenings:

• I updated the website, I think it looks a lot cleaner and a lot more professional.

• I'm reworking the store. I originally was using the built in "Print to Order" services but it would have cost everyone a lot more with lower quality to use, and so I'm researching some better options. Right now if there's anything you see listed in the gallery, I would be happy to privately take your order via email - alex@streetyouthstudio.com

• The chapter title banners for Anomie are in progress currently. Thanks to Art of Riley Smiley for taking on this project. I'm hoping I can get the cover photo done and maybe some illustration inserts.

• I have a new painting in the works! Hurray! I'm going to be working on my "Nostalgia" series in acrylic, and this is the first of that project (4th in the series) and I'm excited

• I'm working on creating didactics for all of my artwork, I feel it's going to be important in becoming a good and successful artist to know how to talk about your projects.

I'm hoping to create more outside of writing the book to make sure the creative juices keep flowing. I have conceptualized some new changes for the book, however implementation hasn't happened yet. We're getting there though!!

Gotta remind myself, depression can't catch me if I keep moving.
