People...Just don't lose your joy in your work. <br />People get excited to buy, then naturally get upset when they are disappointed.<br />But we all need to remember that you are an artist, not a manufacturer and we are VERY fortunate to be able to purchase your work online and at an affordable price. <br />That is a rare privilege.<br />Technology is glitchy and frustrating, so we need to be ready to deal with that and to possibly be disappointed. That's not your fault.<br />It's a difficult balance to find between business and art.<br />You are doing a fantastic job and I can't wait to see everything you have in store this year!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12449759966476935549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384899670745756374.post-60887701762845470212015-07-05T03:57:35.256-04:002015-07-05T03:57:35.256-04:00I was one of the ones who didn't see anything ...I was one of the ones who didn't see anything posted in your shop, as I was viewing "shop all products", until almost too late when suddenly they appeared. It was also the first time I have ever tried to purchase a piece of your art, as I have read many posts about how people crush down on your shop when you list items for sale and it always seemed almost hopeless to try. I understand all about small editions of art and commend you for being able to create as much as you can, being one person working alone. I know you can't control the demand for your artwork, so I'm not blaming you. Please do not think I blame you for what happened.<br /><br />When I saw your initial rough sculpt of Belfry 25 weeks ago I waited all this time for him to come up for sale. The fact this one was blue doubled my interest; I have a blue bat tattoo and couldn't wait to take a picture of them together. I had one carted as soon as the link came up for me (almost three full minutes after the stated start time of the sale) but received only "sold out" messages for the next 45 minutes. I *still* had it carted long after the piece was fully sold out. This gave me total false hope and was very frustrating. I don't know why Shopify's system even allowed this.<br /><br />I would like to suggest perhaps posting the items before hand in your shop, without the purchase button, so they're already in the shop's inventory system. Many artists I have purchased from who also do specific time / limited amount releases do this and I had had nary a cart problem with those sales. Maybe you've tried that before? I don't know, as like I said, my first time trying to purchase your art.<br /><br />Thank you for posting this. I am glad to know that Belfry will be offered again, at some point, in different colors. I just wish I could have had the blue one. Will there be another version in a blue shade? Because I will certainly try again to purchase one, as I would love to support you and own your art.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384899670745756374.post-17460637749856604042015-06-05T03:17:32.665-04:002015-06-05T03:17:32.665-04:00You don't have to share your real name but at ...

I know how difficult it can be, especially when you're in a position to censor yourself because of how your web personality can be tied with your business. Not only are you putting yourself out there emotionally, but also financially, and I want to give you mad props for your bravery. Its amazing how the creative fields offer so much healing, understanding and sharing for the pain of human existence. What a joy to now have the internet to be able to express those feelings on a large scale (but without the terrible pain of rejection we fear from being face to face!) Humanity keeps finding solutions. <br /><br />Hopefully this doesn't come off as offensive, but I see a lot of similarities with your symptoms as mine, but I am very aware I suffer from PTSD since childhood, as well as attachment disorder where I never had a chance to bond with a parent as most infants do. Even if long ago trauma is not the source of your depression, I would recommend IFS therapy for what you're going through now. <br /><br />Your depression isn't necessarily a failure on your part as a successful creative human being, but quite possibly a coping strategy your body utilizes to deal with daily life. And you may hate every aspect of what that depression entails - but its still your body doing the best it can to protect you. The feelings of shame, guilt, frustration and self hatred that arise are all in response to how out of control you feel having your body hijacked by a protector out of your control. But meeting that protector, learning about them and appreciating the good intentions they have for you, even when they're hurting you, gets you one step closer to understanding and loving all of you. And with that comes more acceptance and control. <br /><br />We all have felt like we needed to be heard at one time or another and we were completely ignored, leaving us feeling insignificant and vulnerable. But unfortunately we do that to parts of our inner self and don't even realize it. Until we can acknowledge those messages and feelings, our bodies will keep interfering and demanding attention, growing in destructiveness until we have to stop and listen. <br /><br />I know it can be a hard journey - I go for days to weeks in a daze only to wake up with what I call emotional pins and needles. I'm constantly fighting a veil over my ability to feel and perceive the world. And choosing to feel, knowing how much it can hurt after being numb for so long is terrifying - especially since I have no memories of ever being 'normal' because the damage done to me was when I was a toddler. But for me its the only way forward. At 32 I finally decide the pain of healing was better than the numbness of what I have called life.<br /><br />There's some great info on IFS here - http://www.selfleadership.org/about-internal-family-systems.html Even if you aren't ready for therapy, just reading about how we rearrange our inner selves to deal with hardships can help you on your journey of self acceptance. <br /><br />I love that you create flawed anxious creations that people see and love and want to have in their life. If we could all love our own flawed parts in the same way we would certainly have much more joy.<br /><br />Thanks again for sharing your story, as well as your art!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10307260178917861150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8384899670745756374.post-3011537710051230782015-04-22T18:57:23.733-04:002015-04-22T18:57:23.733-04:00Thanks so much for sharing the link to Creative Mo...Thanks so much for sharing the link to Creative Mornings.
