Doing lots. Not getting overwhelmed!
Share
Hi. Lately I've been doing a lot of work. There's a lot going on and I'm trying not to get overwhelmed.
I've been promoting my animation services. I updated my Showreel to get more clients and I've been sharing that around. Here it is:
I've also been applying for a lot of freelance gigs directly.
I created an animation for the Aximation YouTube channel and I'll be getting more work from them in the near future. The guy behind it is very nice and easy to work for. He said he loved what I did! Here is My Aximation Animated Short.
I also created a book illustration for a client for a Theological Book. Here's the illustration:

I also have a paid animation test coming up for a popular YouTube channel to join their team of animators for regular remote work and another animation commission from a friend to animate a children's book they wrote and illustrated so I'm looking forward to that!
I'm also organising an exhibition and music event at THE LAB pub in Northampton on the 8th of Auguest this year with Zoe Billingham. There will be lots of Artists exhibiting and cool music and we're thinking it will be free to come so put that in your diary if you're local!
I'm also doing viewings for a bigger flat too.
Along with keeping up my other income streams I have more going on than usual. I'm being ambitious and I'm trying to not get overwhelmed.
One thing that has really helped is using the app: Notion. It's really helped me stay organised. I have a big check list on there with different categories with the things I need to do step by step in each. I consider it an options of things to do list rather than a YOU MUST DO THIS LIST! I like to balance doing what I feel like doing at the time with getting the things done that need doing and this list helps to give me perspective on what I need to be doing with my days without stressing me out.
I'm getting closer to my dream of creating a big art and media studio with employees designed to make really cool stuff! I'm already doing it on a small scale. I just have to keep going!
