Living as a successful artist
I did it the most difficult way possible
No Website
Limited national tour dates
P2P - Only displayed work in person no business cards
No safety net
Strangers falling in love with my art - not being able to walk away. Because, it would be the last and only time they would get to see them
I was making a living from Love at First Sight
Very few people get to live life as free as the one, I was given
Living this way forced me to deal with tons of rejection
But, the magic happened when the small amount of stranger understood what I was creating, fell in love, and couldn't live life without it
I lived like this for 20 years, constantly traveling like one man tour band
Covid made me stop in my tracks, and stay in one spot
I never had my freedom inturrpted before, I was confused and betrayed
Lockdowns did. Not Covid. Covid was fake.
People still say I GOT COVID today. I just stare for a second & some get it but most don’t.
I say Covid because that was the excuse for the lockdowns
I get it 100%. Just emphasizing.
My daughter in college was absolutely gutted by this lockdown shit & I don’t forgive easily. I can but I never ever forget. Ever.
I’ve lost friends over it too. Some that couldn’t wait to wear their face diaper & work from home in pajamas. Haven’t spoken to them for years now. We done.
Actually, neither of them did. We always have free will and a choice. They are the wizzard of OZ but WE have all the power. I never travelled as much as during "lockdown" with no jab, or mask of course again it was a choice
