u | uninspired and undecided
I am reaching the end of my bitch-ability. Can you believe it? I cannot think of anything to bitch about other than the fact that I have nothing to bitch about… I’m uninspired.
Since I’m stretching anyway… I’m going to just go random. I hate that I was undecided when I went to college. We just didn’t have the guidance back then that students have now. There’s much more direction… much more future-thinking… future-planning.
I should have made lots of choices different from those I actually made. But… I made this and I’m proud of it. My mom has a print of it hanging in her home. I know, she’s my mom… she has to like it. But it’s the only one she has hanging… that means something. Maybe.
I had vowed not to post any more of my prints because those posts really fell flat. But I’m a little desperate. And I hope it’s not totally boring.
carved linoleum block, printed with giant manual press.
actual size is about 16″ x 20″ (around 40 x 50 cm).
My apologies for this post. I didn’t want to skip a letter… but maybe I should have! I am really reaching. I’m running out of things to bitch about. Damn, no one ever thought I’d speak those words…!

If the post doesn’t generate activity, it’s not an indictment on your art. Keep on posting! Get your work out to be seen, where it belongs.

I suppose that’s true. There’s not much to say about something like this… not really… so it does make sense.

I’m glad you posted!! Getting to the end of the challenge is a struggle! Especially with the super weird letters. You’ve done really well and I have enjoyed your rantings! 😀 And I agree with Rob, your artwork deserves to be seen! ❤

Not sure why the posts fell flat, but your work isn’t. Well, it’s a print, so I suppose it literally is flat. But you know what I’m saying. I have posts of photos that I think will get postive thoughts, yet 10 people look at it. It doesn’t matter. You’re doing this for you, right? Keep putting your stuff out there. It’s terrific. 😃
By the way, don’t ever apologize for one of your posts. Their yours, not theirs. If someone doesn’t like it, it’s their issue, not yours. 😠

🙂 I think it’s that there aren’t usually many comments on the art itself… like, I think it’s pretty good… I like some pieces more than others… but I’m not sure what others think of it. Not that I want to hear someone tell me I suck… Maybe that’s what they think so they don’t want to say anything! LOL 😃

No, I don’t think that’s it at all. I think it’s just the nature of the beast here. I rarely get comments from anybody, minus you, Doc, Vinny, and a few others. And I post a bunch.
Wait, maybe people think my pics suck. Damn.
Excuse me. I’m gonna go curl up in a ball for sec. 😔

Oh please… your pictures are gorgeous. I seriously want to choose one and get your permission to steal it, print it, and hang it in my home. Then I’ll take a picture of the picture and show you how beautiful it looks. So 😛
Also, I’m kind of hypersensitive about it, I think, because I feel like I should have kept the art on the side and done other things in school… but I didn’t… so if my art’s not amazing, it’s really a total fail… not the current total fail I already think it is. LOL

Hahaha! You’re a trip. Whether you get rave reviews from others or not, it’s not a fail…at all. Did you enjoy it? Did you feel good while creating something…and after were you proud of it? If so, not a fail.
As for takin’ something away from your site, or just stop doing it, I totally get it. I’ve done the “songs of the day” since since nearly my first post. And I’ve always had music as focus. I used to spend the time to create links to each song I picked, etc. Nobody clicked on them. Like ever. So, I gave up on the daily playlist thing all together for a while. Then Doc mentioned it, and I thought, “You know, I enjoy planning a playlist for that days morning commute.” The pics make me come up with a theme of some sort, which keeps me picking fresh songs and maintains a fluid nature. So, I started it again. No effort, not ignored. Well, since there’s nothing to link to, I have no idea if they’re ignored or not. But, if they are, no biggie. I hope people check out what I list. I’m proud of the choices. But, the truth is, I do it for my pleasure. If it pleases you, keep doing it. I, for one, would miss seeing them. 😊
Oh, and, you’re way too kind. Thank you so much.

I remember when your playlist went away. I’m glad it’s back. Some days, something totally jumps out at me! 🙂
Yeah… as far as everything else… I’m still working on that whole confidence issue… you know, not having much…

You know how much I love Bitchfest! This was a great post and I always like your artwork. You are so talented. It’s true, though, the end of the alphabet is way harder than the rest. X is giving me fits and Y will be boring, I’m afraid…

Big-time bitchers power through, Sandra. Just like you. I dig the print. I kinda wish I had that dude’s hair. And style. (What can you possibly bitch about for the letter X, Y, and Z? Looking forward to that.
