Gallery Together 7.0

Dear all!

You’ve probably already noticed from my meme that I’m currently completely overwhelmed with everything I have to do:

1. Illustrating the cat pirate book

2. Preparing for my live painting performance with the Italian duo in four weeks

3. Creating the work schedule for the music event I’m organizing in four weeks

4. Leading my saxophone quartet

5. The new course cycle—the rehearsals for the two bands have started again. Concert on October 17

6. Finishing the first audiobook

7. Publishing my own children’s book

8. Rephotographing 25 older paintings and turning them into a catalogue for the finca that houses them

And much more. 🫣

Wellllll : so oir Gallery Together comes a bit late! Please accept my apologies! But there it is the link with instructions. Check and apply 💪 next release Tuesday 6/October

La vía de publicación de audiolibros y libros para niños, que corre paralela a todo lo demás, es la parte que me llamó la atención. Esos no son proyectos rápidos que puedas completar entre actuaciones; son carreras por completo diferentes que ocurren en los márgenes de una agenda ya llena. Y volver a fotografiar veinticinco cuadros antiguos para un catálogo mientras estás a mitad de la preparación de una actuación es el tipo de cosa que suena manejable en una lista y luego te come tres días que no tenías.

Esa lista es increíble. Estoy viendo ocho cosas importantes que están funcionando a la vez y me pregunto cómo sigues de pie. El libro del gato pirata por sí solo me consumiría todo el mes, luego tienes una actuación de pintura en vivo con música que ocurre en paralelo, además de organizar el propio evento, y el proyecto del catálogo. El año pasado me quedé atascado tratando de terminar una maqueta de libro infantil mientras daba dos clases nocturnas y eso casi me rompe. Estás manejando todo un ecosistema creativo y aún así te presentas para publicar la convocatoria de la galería. Esa es la parte que me impresiona, en realidad: en medio de todo eso, todavía estás pensando en hacer espacio para que otras personas muestren su trabajo juntos.

Thank you so much. Your empathy really helps. But you’re absolutely right—it’s exactly as you said. I’m struggling enormously and working from 7 in the morning until evening. I’ll probably have to work for another two hours tonight.

They’re wonderful opportunities, but they only come to life if you fulfill the responsibilities that come with them. And right now, I’m really scrambling to keep up.

I developed and launched the music event about seven years ago, and we organize two or three editions every year. So far, we’ve already produced 16 editions. There are a lot of musicians involved, a huge amount of tedious organizational and financial work, and countless event, concert, and participant arrangements waiting to be handled. And everything is already overdue—it should have been finished back in July. But with so many other things constantly demanding my attention, this is how it sometimes ends up.

As they say in Germany: “Better late than never!” 🫣😜

Dieciséis ediciones en siete años significan que has construido algo que realmente te necesita. El ajetreo es real, pero la gente que llega está allí porque no permitiste que desapareciera.

Absolutely! You’re right. And what I’m completely overwhelmed by on top of everything else is the marketing plan for Art Storefronts—the full-time learning and work that goes into developing my artist image and setting up the print-on-demand shop. Phewww… I’m burying my head in the sand over that one right now.

The 25 paintings are something I messed up about 13 years ago. I simply sold them without writing descriptions, taking good photos, or issuing certificates. Now I need that documentation if I want to approach galleries, which is why it actually falls under the marketing homework for Art Storefronts.

But yes, at first I thought there were only 13, and then it turned out that the owner had bought a total of 25 paintings over the years. Now I have to categorize them as well. And exactly as you said, it easily ends up taking two or three days.

I can only advise everyone to stick to the basic routine from the beginning. It comes back to haunt you when you’re lazy about it.

El desfase de 13 años entre venderlos y documentarlos es exactamente el impuesto que pagas más tarde. Esos atajos iniciales se acumulan en trabajo futuro, y sí, enterrar la cabeza en la configuración de la tienda es totalmente comprensible cuando la acumulación de pendientes es tan real.
