Well, it depends on your outlook!<\/p>\n
Be warned! Your jaw could end up on the floor when you see what we have done to accommodate all my projects!<\/p>\n
But hey – you gotta do what you gotta do right?<\/p>\n
I don’t know about you, but I love to a bit of voyeurism into artists work spaces.\u00a0 A studio tour is always intriguing to me.<\/p>\n
Late last year it occurred to me that I had never filmed mine.\u00a0 It is always transforming and often messy — so no wonder I kept it hidden.\u00a0 And the hoard!!!! Oh my Lord!<\/p>\n
December I decided to get out my camera and press the action button.\u00a0 I figured, if it amused clients as they entered my home the first time, it will likely entertain you too.\u00a0 So with a smirk, I captured the scene and shared what we have done (in desperation) to accommodate all my projects, office and businesses in a VERY limited space.<\/p>\n
My full confession though–we have already moved a heap of furniture off-site.\u00a0 A 40ft shipping container, in fact!\u00a0 I literally had no room by mid-2017.\u00a0 It became apparent around then, that the number of custom jobs flooding in was flooding my space more than I expected.\u00a0 I was grateful but in a bit of a panic as to how to manage my working area efficiently.<\/p>\n
Then people began offering me free furniture too!<\/p>\n
I was also forced to resist buying projects to paint even more so.\u00a0 In the process, I have become even more specific in what I take in. That is a good thing.<\/p>\n
My goal is to clear up these spaces by the end of the year.\u00a0 I’m planning this year carefully.<\/p>\n
I’ve been on a purging spree for a few years. Most of my small items have been sorted.\u00a0 The furniture takes up a lot of room though.\u00a0 Any space I gained was quickly lost with new projects or works in progress.\u00a0 Especially when working on several at once.<\/p>\n
The tipping point came right on Christmas.\u00a0 I found myself with finished items uncollected by clients away on holidays.\u00a0 BIG mistake!\u00a0 I’ll be clarifying pickup better this year.\u00a0 Sadly, this affected production dramatically!\u00a0 I was also beginning to record a lot of my processes and doing Facebook live videos.\u00a0 This also meant accumulating studio equipment and spreading out with lights, microphones etc.<\/p>\n
In part, I share all this to hold myself accountable.\u00a0 Hopefully, as the year progresses, I may be able to show you a very different and more spacious studio tour.\u00a0 But in any case, you’ll get a giggle out of seeing our solutions so far – or be horrified!\u00a0 It isn’t your typical setup but it works better than it did before.<\/p>\n
After my clients return from their looooooooong holidays, it will be better I’m sure.<\/p>\n
Yikes – I hope!<\/p>\n
Here it is…<\/p>\n
