Hello good people of the newsletter. Behold! Skull!

I've hurt my back at training. Which is making life unpleasant. And painful. And extremely irritating. Putting socks in is A Time.

Today in particular has been difficult for me to find focus. Partially due to back pain, partially due to over thinking. And procrastination may be involved somehow…

I am also waiting on weather or not I've been successful in applying for markets and things and its doing my head a little.

I have applied for a stall at Hallowzeen. And am already planning on having at least 3 new zines for. Sammy Doom volume 6, today's skull volume 5 and “when the fog rolls in" a vers/folk horror thing that I'm struggling to get on the page at the moment.

Cover reveal! Ta day!

I've started on the centre spread. Which is going to take a long time. I'm going to try and push that a bit more today.

I will also hopefully have some new badges.

Just waiting to hear from sam over at tree paper gallery.

I'm really looking forward to Hallowzeen. Fingers and toes are crossed in hope of getting a table.

I also applied to reinstate my abn. And started working out costings.

I'm looking at maybe applying for geek con in Geelong. But I don't know if I go as a stall holder or artist ally. So that's on the to do list today as well.

I also want to ajust my market stall set up so it looks a bit more professional.

I started to look at WordPress to build my website and promptly get too intimidated to actually do anything to it. I'm put ‘watch YouTube tutorial ‘ on the to do list as well.

Hopefully i will hear from the applications soon. Or I'm going to have to try harder to find a straight job again.

I've been trying to use the arts almanac and art suport to find art prizes but the opportunities are all behind a pay wall. So I've been flicking through Instagram hoping to find some art competitions via gallery accounts. Unfortunately the algorithm is a rat basturd. I am sinking way too much time on there and it tanks my ability to focus. I need to get off that damn app.

And I think that's it for this week.

Thank you for your continued support of this little newsletter. I'll see you all next week.
