Hey all, to start tonight off I have to apologize for my recent hiatus. There wasn't a major reason preventing me from posting, I just fully succumbed to the general funk that I've been in for months. Now granted this has been building for a while, honestly I'm sure most of you assumed I stopped posting a long time ago. This is again entirely my fault, leaving things go until the last minute and not putting these up on the internet at reasonable human hours. So I have been posting to the blog, just around midnight which obviously won't hit anyone's Facebook feeds. Although I will admit that what I've been posting hasn't been terribly in depth either. I haven't attempted an interview in months and while I always have plenty of photos to use, I haven't gone looking for new ones in a very long time. These past two weeks however were definitely the culmination of my recent down spiral. Even the hermit in me came out in spades, causing me to not even leave my apartment for two weekends in a row. For all of this, not that you really care about my hermit tendencies, I do have to say I'm sorry. I know I've done this before on here, apologize for the lack of quality and promise to make a greater effort, but I think this most recent fail has been my biggest one. So I'm hoping that with the promise of spring, I will be able to shake off the cobwebs that have collected around me and really get some things going. Much like tonight's photo, I have no intention of completely forgetting about the work that I've done thus far. It is all very interesting and serves as a strong foundation for what this blog is all about. But I do think that I need to get a bit a fresh start on things.
In slightly brighter news, there are a couple of good things coming along. I've recently hit a pretty solid 100 followers over on Instagram which is pretty amazing. I've gotten quite a few suggestions of places to look for new stickers and have been tagged in a couple of other people's posts with the stickers that they've found. I can't say how excited I am by the fact that I've caught this many people's attention and that there have been conversations over my feed. For anyone who reads this and follows me on Instagram I want to shoot you a quick thank you for the continued support. If you haven't seen the feed, I will admit most of it are items that you've seen before but I do occasionally share other finds on there that don't quite fit this blog. Along with the Instagram, I just want to say that I have every intention of participating in the upcoming Art All Night again this year. Starting on April 28 there will be a group of local artists who will be exhibiting their work for free for almost 24 hours over in Lawrenceville. Granted things are still in the works, so other than the date there isn't anything officially decided yet. As the date gets closer I'll give more substantial information about the event but I do hope you'll all go check it out. It's a fascinating thing and really gives people a chance to express themselves. If you've ever had even an inkling of artistic inclination, submit a piece of your own and have it put up on display. There's no real reason not to participate in this free show. But in the meantime, here's to turning a new page and getting things back on track.
