 Hey everyone Good morning I have a headband on other than this Then I feel like I look like a like a Gangster rapper, which is fine. I always wish I was a Gangster rapper. Okay. Good morning today's day 18 And your next important step your mission is To clean up clean up in your mess and then set up For the next round and then to consider Cats in your space. Okay So first one is cleaning up. I'm just gonna show you what I'm doing I'll walk around So I'm I'm putting away art that I'm not working on and I'm bringing art that I need To work on So this winter right now, so I'm working on winter But I want to connect nicely to spring so I'm starting to think about that and Then as we leave fall, we're starting to connect it to winter. Right? So I'm starting to think about that as I'm cleaning up. I'm writing out a supplies list. So the cleaning up process is part of the creative process Because you're thinking and you're getting ideas and you're saying what do I need next to continue? Okay? Got it cleaning up can be part of the creative process Put away art that you Aren't excited about right now and take out things that you're like, okay. I'll work on that These are all just ideas, but whatever works for you. Let me look at my list I'm just really tired and worn out. I got this on for the spider bite and Every day they pull gauze out of the cut and pack it full it is not fun Okay, get ready for the next set. Okay, so it's the idea of resetting things to blank resetting things to blank clearing your floor Putting I'm just putting stuff away. I Got this paper sorting thing for reference references from Ikea so each one is a drawer, so I'm going to sort all of my references which I have like I have Aden up by 11s. Now medium-sized references small references tiny references So they'll all go in here nicely Getting organized and get an organizing your studio is also part of the creative process Because we're thinking about where to put things and how to how to be most efficient when you start painting again Okay I'm almost done. Oh, yeah. Oh, so it's day It's day 18, right? So I'm using this tracker someone on the Facebook group the art resin Facebook group for this Made this so I missed three days So far we do our best And I was happy then I didn't know and this is this the spider bite made me feel like that see All right reset to blank here's the cycle. This is the cycle of life Clean up and set up Hey, Michelle. Hello, North Carolina. Hello from Canada. Step two make art Step three make a mess Then you know what you go back to cleaning up again and setting up and then you make art And then you make a mess and Crap, you're back to clean. Okay. Got it. That's the only way That's the only way Until we get robots We need robots. Oh Thank you for saying that 276 pack Thank you for saying that. I know I'm enjoying making art so much and it's only because I did a hundred-day art challenge my wife Rebecca said I should And it cured Mean mate it cured my anxiety. Okay So I have this setup seat cat a This is where cat a will sleep Right there. What do you think? and then this over here is Where cat B will sleep see okay So now I just need cats Hey, Michelle Oh, I know I love art too, and I'm getting this suspicion I'm getting this suspicion from doing these hundred days of arts that like art is the most important thing we can do as Artists. Oh Thanks, Laura I'll feel better. I know it's exhausting I got bit by the simulator over a month ago All right What else anything else to talk about? Oh? This is another one. Okay, so start thinking about this and I wrote it backwards. I don't know why is that forward to backwards for you. Oh awesome Yeah, Michelle um So this studio has been like I've been working towards this for like My whole life. I'm almost 40 now my whole life. I've been creating spaces and wanting better spaces and Man, that's the idea that you are your environment. I love that idea. You are your environment Set up your space for who you want to be Okay So back to this so what I'm doing right now. It's day 18, and I'm What is your final project? What is your final project? I? Found that last time I did a hundred days of art. I found that was a very exciting idea What is your final project? So if you're gonna do this for a hundred days? At the end of it you can have something. Oh I'm gonna read. Oh geode interesting. Yeah So I get interrupted by these comments, but there's a suggestion geode pieces. Yeah, I'll do that That'll be fun. I'm gonna be resonating tons and tons and tons of stuff. I Resonate everything Even if you shouldn't resin it Okay Anything else we talked about cats we talked about cleaning up I'll show this Okay, there's another helpful thing if you're stuck on something Just rotate it and then you have to look at it differently. That's really helpful or put it upside down So these are the two things that came out of it If you keep making art like you used to as a kid, then you're gonna remember who you are And then you become you become happier and this one too art is good for me Okay Yeah, anxiety. The anxiety is tough, but I don't know. I'm some proof that you can be on the other side of it. I Didn't think I would Yeah, okay, I Hope you're all making art and thanks for joining me. Bye. Bye
