Shop Update!

1 min read
Rolling out some updates in my shop this week and next week so folks can take advantage of 30% off their cart total at checkout (deal ends Dec. 8th). Added the first 7 of the spooky movie marathon paintings this year, with more to come! :)

Hey DeviantArt friends- I recently put together a Patreon!

www.patreon.com/klangi…

It's very basic at the moment, and pretty much a place for me to get more of my thoughts down when creating work. (And hopefully start some conversations, I'd love to get to know more folks!)

The different reward tiers WILL have actual different rewards in the future (outside of patron-exclusive posts), but that will be a few months down the line at least while I get things organized and sorted. But if you would like to support me and my work, and get a more in depth look at my process- take a look!

And it's still pretty meh.

But after lots of family drama, moving shenanigans, and life being convoluted, I'm finally a good deal more settled and starting to get going on more art. A lot of things in progress, several ideas getting sorted, y'know. ART. Or something. So hopefully I'll be frequenting dA a bit more with all kinds of new things!

It's boring and dumb and it pays the bills.

It's also so mindless that when I get home I still have energy to make my own stuff. So that's cool.

I have 432 messages. My last update was around a year ago now. 

That's not very good. 

So what's new? I graduated last summer, I've held a few random part time positions, and I've recently decided "hell with it" in order to try getting by on commissions full time. It's kind of working. Kind of. I still have a few things up my sleeve and am not yet calling it quits (and if I was, eesh, two months is a pretty sad run at this). At any rate I can't go back to serving popcorn to people with terrible taste in movies. Not yet.

But if I'm creating freelance work, where's all the new artwork? Well, I've delved back into my high school hobby of customizing model horses. I definitely did not need a degree to continue doing that. However that's a story/rant/complaint/thought process for another time. I'm not quite sure just how to go into explaining the model horse hobby (I swear, this is an actual thing), so I'll just post a few random links for you to either:
[a] point and laugh at
[b] feel strangely amazed at
[c] ignore completely

www.namhsa.org/
www.modelhorsesalespages.com/
www.modelhorseblab.com/forums/…
www.flickr.com/photos/klang-ar…   (<--my stuff)

Then what about illustration-y things? Thaaat's.....a bit more hazy. Believe me, I'm getting more time to work on paintings and sculptures than when I worked part time. But it's still tricky to split my time and attention between what I love doing and what actually pays the bills. There are projects that are slowly coming together though, and upon completion, I SWEAR they will be posted here. 

Think that's about it for now....
