What I have been up to

Hello everyone.

So I have been away for a little while. I was looking into getting into school. There are a few issues I ran into trying to get into school. I think I will work on getting into school sometime next year. Let’s keep our fingers crossed and see what happens.

Paperwork and tests are not where I shine. I do my best each time. Even doing your best doesn’t always work, but trying is the most important part. I know brain injuries are weird and you lose yourself. The people at The Opportunity Centre and Hamilton Health Sciences told me to find your new self. I’ve been doing that to the best of my ability. The fact that I was able to find some of my old self is lucky. So many others don’t always get to find it.

I’ve been going through a lot these last few months. Some parts devastated me, while others made me happy. I am not going to get into too much of it though. Some wounds are still very fresh.

I wanted to tell you that I have also been painting with new mediums. I have tried Procreate, Art Set, and Sketches School. I didn’t have a pen when I started them on the ipad, so they were done with my fingers. Those will be the first paintings I will put in my store. They will be ones that may be a limited timed buy. Others will stay a bit longer and some will be there for quite a while. I hope you will enjoy them.

I also began to use Himi Gouache. For October I tried to do one painting a day. I ended up making 35 paintings in my sketchbook and on Procreate. Some will be put up, some will not. They were just for me to try. I may do Repper patterns with them to make some Print on Demand awesomeness for you.

I really enjoyed working with this new medium. I had no idea what Himi Gouache is or why it is so popular until I worked with it. I did enjoy working on a painting every day. I hadn’t made that many of them since I was working at my friend's store, called “With Love.” I am not sure I will be doing one everyday but I hope to do them at least two to three times a week and see what fun or amazing things come out.

Again to get those Print on Demand artwork working I’ve got paperwork to get done for you. Keep your eyes out for all the amazing things I hope to get working on it soon. You got to love paperwork even when you are not that great with it.

I have been a busy beaver and hope to get better with my blogging and bringing you wonderful works of art for your enjoyment. I still have so much to tell you about my journey and all the wonderful ways you can create things.

This was my artwork therapy, which I suggest you do if you can. I didn’t even realize what I was doing was art therapy until I began to look into what art therapy was. For me it was just trying to get something back that was me. I have forever changed yet not many people can see it or understand the things I do. They don’t see how I have changed.

When you go through these issues after an accident you are always struggling to get believed, recognized and helped. I hope that you get all the help you need and to be believed and recognized for you. If not, please realize you are not alone. Most people you love will not always get your issues or know how to help. Give them time, give yourself time and make sure that if they become toxic or not helpful you leave their orbit. Thank you for your time.
