https://www.creamofthecropbyslart.com Weekly Art Practice 2.1, the first of the reboot. SLART talks through the last seven days as a self-taught artist…
I do moan about the rat race and I've started project rat lock and my weekly art practice and many other things on this sub stack before that started off a series and kind of petered out but this time I wanted to I say this time it may change but I wanted to record my thoughts upload it raw unedited on my substack and then transcribe that as the post with my tweaks just tidying it up a bit so what's been going on this week I've launched a secret project which isn't really secret it's I don't know why I'm not talking about it but I don't feel ready to share it yet and I think that's fine so it's been totally um it's beautiful the way you know the way art works and when you're working on projects it takes different turns and something that you wouldn't have expected that would have happened um like a month ago so it's only been two three weeks i've been working on this little side project and it's not taking up much time at all and i wanted to test out a lot of ways of working and stuff and it's been featured in a publication with i can't remember if it's 30 000 subscribers or 300,000 but anyway I got a lot of attention through that and it's not in my name it's in a pen name as well And I'm talking around it, but I really, I do want to tell you what it is, but, and it's not like it's totally secret, like doing a Banksy where no one knows who he is.
It's more, I want to establish this first as a separate thing.
And then, then it's just going to be linked as an art project from my usual work.
Um, but it involves selling art prints, um, using print on demand services and a certain way of drawing which is quite freeing and it's really exciting and you'll know more about it soon don't worry so that's been set up really quickly and unexpectedly from doing some lunchtime doodles so that's been cool and I've been getting back into fitness as well.
