My three rules that help people notice my art. YouTube video by Art and the Day Job

First video for my new YouTube channel: Art and the Day Job.

So, does anyone know of a good self-publisher where I can print my books (not in color but black and white) for a relatively cheap price. Diggypod does a great job but a 200 page 5 x 7 book would be around $6 per book. I want to figure out if I can get the book printed for cheaper.

Throwback to 2009/2010 when I was first learning how to paint in oils. The weekly class was with a fantastic artist (Karen Winslow) and learned the basics of mass oil painting. Every Tuesday night for several years, we did still life studies. These were the best ones.

For those artists I know, would it be helpful if I had a youtube channel that talked about how I manage a day job and an art business (Especially when dealing with being on the road)?

Sound Check YouTube video by ShadowMyths Gallery of Nightmares

Hey all... redoing my youtube channel for a different vibe/feel. First I'm testing out the audio. Do you find the sound distracting? Would make you turn it off? Or is it okay?

From the necromar deck: Moving quickly underground, the Sand Demon preys on anything that walks across the sand dunes of Ozul. These nightmarish creatures are so efficient that many desert areas are avoided by the locals.

From the necromar deck: The underwater city of the Kai is a haven for those who wish to learn about anything in the world. The Kai are voracious information gatherers and will collect any form of knowledge, no matter how insignificant it may be.

From the necromar deck: Like a plague in the night, large number of Valankir will swarm over a ruin and claim all that they touch. This small and deadly race reproduces extremely fast and an extended family of Valankir can number in the hundreds.

A stone gray waist cincher hand sewn by my wife Misere Love. The eyes of Pennywise stare through the lacing and white glove fingers reach through it. A paper boat is sewn to the lower left.

The back of the Pennywise corset, featuring a red balloon and the words "WE ALL FLOAT DOWN HERE" painted blood red and trailing into a downward arrow.

A waist cincher my wife Misere Love made that she calls the Necronomiconstrictor. It features a dessicated face over leathery fabric that resembles human skin stitched together. Blood drips from the seams and the laces.

A close-up of the Necronomiconstrictor's face.

Hey, look! My lovely wife @miserelovesco.bsky.social has finally joined us here in this bluest of skies! Go give her a follow; she knits both snake and centipede scarves AS WELL AS hand-sews these bad-ass horror underbust waist cinchers! Love you, sweetie!
