pretend-ing

Thalia found herself spurred into song by Drawist’s recent sketches. “He did the mash! 🎶 It was a monnnnster mash — A monster mash! It was a graveyard smash. 🎵 Hey! What will we dress up as for Halloween?”

Ever practical Nia replied, “Muses.”

Calliope spied crimson leaves on a burning bush outside of their studio’s window. “Well… We could be little devils, witches… or, ummm… angels with feathered wings?”

“What about Ted Lasso… or Roy Kent? I’ve always wanted a thick mustache!” Thalia rubbed the skin between her nose and upper lip. “Have you noticed that since Typist’s hair started growing back, her face is fuzzy, too?”


Words from Typist:

Once upon a time I pretended to be a writer, and I became one.

Years later, I pretend to be a Drawist and a Paintist.
I’m becoming both.

Any costumes you’d like to try on for size?

On December 1st, 2021 I tried on the costume of Artist! 🧑‍🎨 Less than a year later, I am now not only an Artist, but I have boldly proclaimed myself and secured the URL for TheEarthHeARTist.com • It is at present simply a placeholder and Typist’s post has me thinking about who I need to be and what skills will be required to share my work with the world?

Calendars, post cards, thank you cards, prints, custom work, work shops, retreats, commissioned work, etc.

Now, the focus can shift to what do I personally want to do, and what can I outsource?

What might happen if I let curiosity get the best of me?

“Let curiosity AND wonder get the BEST of you!”

BUTTON: “We only have two things to worry about — either things will never get back to normal, or they already have” 😁

Like the witch drawing! Caption (in my head, anyway): “What?! Spider?! Where?!”
