Going
back up. Just been losing my drive lately. I've really been in a,
“Who gives a shit mood”, the last few weeks, with only a
couple inspired moments popping in.
Day
144
GROSS,
a good metaphor for how I'm doing lately. 144 days, 12
dozen, 1 gross.
That's
how I used to count T-shirt sales at fairs, and that was a personal
record I set, in August of 1982 at the West Virginia State fair.
Working alone, I hand painted 144 shirts in 1 day.
$1500 is not bad for 1 days work for an artist.
I
know there's lots of famous artists who get that much for one
“print”, but on that day, like hundreds of days over a 20 year
span, I did something they couldn't.
I
made 144 individual people happy.
144
people went home that day, not just with a piece of artwork, but
1 they commissioned and had painted just for them. Yes, in
just that 1 day, I did more commissions than many artists do
in a decade.
I
didn't get rich painting T-shirts, but I had fun doing something I
liked, and made a lot of people happy.
Maybe
it's time I do that again!
Remember!
1
bite at a time, and 1 day at a time!

C'mon, you spent 50 + years getting into the shape you're in, it's g'gonna take more than a hundred+ days to alter that shape. Plus your metabolism is slowing down the older you get. Weight Watchers have a pretty good program, 'gotta social element too. They want you to buy their meals, but you 'gotta buy food anyway, give it a look.As for airbrush, I could never understand why you completely walked on the air brush business anyway. Go for it!
