I know I'm not the only one out there who has had a particularly unpredictable year!! I actually wasn't sure if I was even going to be able to do the A to Z Blog Challenge- which is why I've not done a theme reveal yet. With all 3 kidlets at home and needing School from Home help my time has barely been my own. After 2 weeks of this though we're getting some routines going. SO I'm going to officially do my theme reveal!!
My Theme for the A to Z Blog Challenge is:
Gods and Goddesses Steampunk Style!!
I know... not *super* original, but it is what I'm going with!! My original theme was much more fun, BUT as I don't have the time to do full illustrations I switched to something a little more manageable. These more likely than not will be in a sketch stage *possibly* a little farther (that stage between sketch and line art)
Along with this I'm going to try to live stream drawing at least 2 times a week. I've not decided if I'm going to live stream the A to Z challenge specifically or other illustrations that I need to get done (I have QUITE a backlog right now of work to do lol)
If you are just here for the A to Z thing- then you can stop reading here, unless you'd like to learn more about me.
So I have to say this Covid19 thing is CRAZY. I admit I'm a little jealous of the people who are on facebook like 'look at all this free time I have'. I cannot relate to that at all!! Not only did all my normal life stay the same (making meals, keeping up the house, caring for kids, and my freelance stuff) I got a WHOLE bunch of new responsibilities on top of that. That and my workload around the house has at least doubled, possibly more than that. And before you suggest it- yes my kids do chores; they are actually REALLY good at doing chores. There is still more to do because everyone's home. It is just how it goes.
Anyway- we're safe, we're happy. The more I learn about the Covid19 virus the more I wonder if that weird flu/pneumonia thing that we got over winter holiday was in fact the virus everyone is scared of now... we at least had a viral pneumonia with identical symptoms... So if we haven't had it I sure don't want it again. If we have though... it'd be nice to know.
ANYWAY
I don't know how all of this is going to affect the rest of my year. I'm a little worried about the Convention that I'm signed up for at the end of May- I have a feeling that it isn't going to be canceled- but I'm not sure if I'll have the inventory to sell thanks to all this craziness. We'll see- hopefully I can get a lot of good work done over the next month. Crossing my fingers.
Thank You for Stopping by!
Keep being creative!
