Hello! It’s been a while since I’ve typed away on here but it’s time for a 2020 post. It’s a blessing mostly to say that while 2019 was tough on my mood and mental health (though perhaps still a huge improvement from 2018 aka last year of Uni) , I’ve been blessed with a lot of work and have been able to keep busy. I only hope that I’ll get more projects for 2020, even though my brain and mood gets weird whenever I take one on! I’m working on it!
I’ve made 20 things for 2020, 10 of which are solely art-making related:
MAKE TRADITIONAL ARTWORK I miss sitting at my desk and painting sometimes. I also have all that paint from school…
EXPAND MERCH AND RE-LAUNCH ONLINE SHOP
BUILD NERVE TO EMAIL PEOPLE YOU WANT TO WORK FOR/WITH
MAKE BIGGER CERAMICS
FIGURE OUT TAXES???
APPLY TO THINGS Call for submissions, grants, contests, etc…
PRACTICE ART MAKING WITH SUSTAINABILITY IN MIND
DO SOME SORT OF MURAL?
MAKE CONTENT MORE ACCESSIBLE Like including detailed ALT-TEXT on advanced settings on Instagram posts.
MAKE PERSONAL ARTWORK And actually like it! Remind myself that drawing is still fun.
CONTINUE TO READ A BOOK A MONTH
DRINK MORE WATER EVERYDAY
EXPAND REPERTOIRE OF HOME-COOKED MEALS I cooked a lot in 2019 but I also want to try baking more!
LIMIT MEALS/COFFEE BOUGHT PER WEEK
STAY MINDFUL This is a broad term for how I will go about managing and internalizing thoughts and feelings in healthier ways.
LIMIT CLOTHING PURCHASES I want to thrift more and get timeless pieces.
BE SMARTER WITH MONEY Remembering to not hit the trigger on impulse purchases and remember money can be better spent on art-related matters…
REMEMBER YOUR HOBBIES, REDUCE SCREEN TIME
FIGURE OUT STORAGE SOLUTION FOR BEDROOM I am by no means a minimalist but I would like to find a way to maximize how I store/organize all my things in a pleasing way so that it’s not too overwhelming. My room is also my studio and workspace so it’s tough!
LEARN SOMETHING NEW
And there we go! 2020 is also the year of the rat, which is where I fall under. So I can only hope it’s a good yea for me, though I don’t know if that’s how it correlates in the law of the universe.
