I am in the process of being amazed by all the updates, blog posts, and work posted in the art community. How do you guys all do it? I can barely keep up with Twitter feeds, let alone make art on a daily basis in order to have something to share.
Last month, as I was struck by how important holiday shopping is for small businesses and artists, I thought: perhaps workflow is best broken up into chunks during the year.
- Fall: Sell, while folks are in a holiday/buying mood
- Winter: Create new work, explore
- Spring: Polish and refine
- Summer: Market, find some venues, update sites
Then recently (read: whenever I started this blog post!), I had another aha! moment. I actually have three separate bodies of work on the go:
- Last year’s work, to market
- This year’s work, to create
- Next year’s work, to gather, ponder, research
Which means, to me, that working on any phase thereof is okay. Though it’s still hard to justify Twitter more than once a day… How do YOU keep things moving on all fronts?
