A new year, a new spreadsheet! As an artist do you track your applications!?

I’ve seen a lot of artists post about failing and trying as the year closes. Ya I was gonna also do that but the simplest way to share is by saying I applied to two things and got one. It was a rough year for me spiritually and mentally so I’m excited to say I’m gearing up for a year of more engagement, more intimacy and more silliness

Those are my initial reflections on this New Year’s Adam as I prepare my Google drive folders on Google Drive folders

It’s really hard to be an artist that self identifies as relational and then self isolated for almost a year due to mental health. I’m reconciling all the things and how to be right where I am. And make art right from here or just promote others making art. So here’s to being honest and trying even when it’s cold outside and it’s a hard world and this empath is feeling it all
