spazzing

the good:
i'm stoked about friday as i'm going to Lights Out 3.5 and my friend from school (the one i want) is going with me. how do i make him my toy for the night without scaring him away?

the bad:
i'm really depressed about my job/art situation right now. but instead of explaining, i'll just copy paste the chat i just had about it......


krystalphoenix3 11:26 PM
yeah

i've been so busy with havin school and work that i dont really have time, or give myself time to work on things outside of the projects im assigned

i have ideas for stuff to do

and i try to write it down

but when i actually find the time to be doing something, i don't really feel like doing it
jon 11:28 PM
ah god i can so relate to that, i hate work for that reason
krystalphoenix3 11:28 PM
seriously
jon 11:29 PM
like...
krystalphoenix3 11:29 PM
jack, the painting professor and head of the art department, he wants me to quit my job so i can just try and sell paintings
jon 11:30 PM
yeah you should really do that

if you can

i quit my job last semester so i could finish the smoke signals ep

and it made a huge difference
krystalphoenix3 11:30 PM
i really need the money from it, and honestly, i love my job and dont want to quit

yeah, i bet
jon 11:30 PM
haha really?
krystalphoenix3 11:30 PM
lol yeah

i mean

i hate going to it

and hate being there most of the time
jon 11:31 PM
are you like the hat girl though?

or is that not it at all
krystalphoenix3 11:32 PM
but for being a job, it's very very chill and i do love certain things about it, like playing with the kids, and being able to do what i want, and my coworker

and i dont want to quit only to find out that i still can't make shit or sell anything

and then not be able to go back to the chill job
jon 11:33 PM
right, that makes sense

plus you can wait til school's over and then you'll have a boatload of time
krystalphoenix3 11:34 PM
yes but i need to make the art while im in school while i still have the resources and whatnot available
jon 11:34 PM
still, maybe your teachers know what they are talking about

exactly
krystalphoenix3 11:35 PM
if i didn't have to worry about homework, or being addicted to my computer, i could prolly use the free time i have before and after classes to make shit in the studios at school
jon 11:36 PM
haha

yeah, spend all day on campus or something
krystalphoenix3 11:36 PM
and the art that sells is not the art that i want to make
jon 11:37 PM
you think so?
krystalphoenix3 11:37 PM
at least in galleries around here
jon 11:37 PM
yeah
krystalphoenix3 11:37 PM
like, i just sold my first painting the other day (woot)
jon 11:37 PM
really??

er, ;'/

?

lol
krystalphoenix3 11:37 PM
hah, yeah

sold it for 350
jon 11:38 PM
holy shit dudezor
krystalphoenix3 11:38 PM
need to go down there to pick up my w9 for it tomorrow actually

gallery keeps 40% of that 350
jon 11:38 PM
god damn

where was the gallery?
krystalphoenix3 11:39 PM
but yeah, that painting was a landscape i guess and is the type of shit people buy

but i'd like to do more of the wacky creepy lowbrow stuff that i've been oozing recently

gallery's in downtown ventura

on main

really good set up we have

which is why i REALLY should be pounding out paintings

cuz it's a good place to sell them

and they only take 40% unlike most galleries that take 50%
jon 11:41 PM
oh crazy

yeah i mean that's waht, 190 for you?
krystalphoenix3 11:42 PM
lil more than that
jon 11:42 PM
that's interesting, i wonder if that would be enough to support you if you were able to sell 1 or 2 a month, do you think that's possible?
krystalphoenix3 11:43 PM
jack thinks it is

i told him i make 100 a week and he says i could certainly pull that off
jon 11:43 PM
yeah man, if your teachers are telling you to go for it

could be the last time you work a bullshit job



the ugly:
truth




this is the one i sold, btw. and what really sucks, is that this is the only pic i got of it.
