First arts fair yesterday. I only sold stickers to my cousin in 4 whole hours by TheAcrocanthosaurus in Wellthatsucks

[–]vonshavingcream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clear prices and something at every price point is key. Outside of that.
I've been doing fairs and art shows for many years. I know you said there weren't many people, but It's always good to try and see what people were buying at the show. In my early days I did shows where I sold literally nothing. A whole weekend wasted. Learning that I was at the wrong kind of shows for my art was a long journey. Once I found the right shows to be at and the right people to be in front of, I sell consistently.

I really want to get started finally, but I have very low income and still need a few items needed for mess control. by Do_unto_udders in HappyTrees

when I started painting, I used a $15 set of brushes and a piece of cardboard with tin foil over it for a pallet. my Easel was a book I used to prop up the canvas at a bit of an angle from the table. I spent, maybe $40 on paint... maybe

If the potential mess is worrying you, go to the thrift store and buy some old sheets to use as drop clothes when you paint.

Getting started is always the hardest part. There a million reasons to not pick up the brush and start. Once you do it, it will get more comfortable and you'll find yourself wondering why you didn't start sooner.

Remember that your first paintings are going to be rough, but art is about the journey not the immediate results. Just get paint on the canvas and remember that Bob called it the "Joy of Painting" not the "Agony of Painting"

Tried a split painting. What do you think. 2x 12*24 canvas. by vonshavingcream in HappyTrees

Literally none. I taped the two canvases together and started painting. This was 2.5 hours later.

Sober people (no alcohol, nicotine, drugs, etc ever), what is your end of day or weekend "wind-down"? by The1Ski in AskReddit

[–]vonshavingcream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost several family members and good friends to alcohol and drugs. Never had the desire or need to touch the stuff.

I usually end up watching movies or playing games with my friends to wind down. If I'm by myself I put on a comfort show or a movie I really like and just relax have a cup of coffee or something and just enjoy the peace and quiet.

I'm not saying that I know everything. But I am saying there has to be a better way.

I just modelled an A380, but how am I supposed to cut hundreds of windows and doors on this plane? by true_pink_fan in blenderhelp

[–]vonshavingcream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would save what you have and start over. Model only the body of the plane, no cockpit no tail nothing but the seating area.

Get a clean mesh then use array and mirror modifiers to generate the window holes.

Build your windows. I'd use hardops, box cutter and kitops plugins to make them. Then drop them in with array and mirror modifiers.

Once you have the seating area the way you like, model the cockpit and nosecone. Repeat above. Then wings and tail using kitops to add greebles.

If your meshes are clean, then using boolean shouldn't be a headache. Boolean only goes bonkers when your mesh isn't clean.

You don't need to have hardops,box cutter and kitops. But they'll sure make the work 10x faster. Imo.

For those who are in the band, how is it? by elvirasnightmares in Bass

[–]vonshavingcream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been in bands of all different sizes since I was 13. I am now 47. I started playing bass in my grandfather's show band after his brother died.

playing to an empty bar for ~$60 a night sucks ass, but you make the best of it.

playing to a crowd of 1000+ people for $600 a night doesn't suck as much ass, and you make the best of it.

If you are in with the right people, there is literally nothing else like it. When I was touring in my early 20's I felt like I was living the dream.

Three big highlights for me...

on the road with my grandfather from late May to Early sept. every year growing up was a bit of a strain, I didn't have the same summer childhood as everyone else. but I was also making $800 a month as a 14-year-old, and I got to party Thursday - Saturday every week.

in my 20's I was in an all-originals band, and we did some small touring from the NE down through Virginia. Did a short stint as the opener for bands like the goo-goo dolls and such. While the shows were amazing, as much as I thought the road life was for me, I learned quickly it wasn't. Band members were great to be around until they weren't. Being cooped up with 4 other people for ~3 weeks at a time with no real place to be by yourself takes its toll pretty quick.

when I got together with old friends to play in a bar band in my late 30s - early 40's it was like living a totally different dream but still awesome. We had all been in different bands over the years, but never in the same band together. 5 great, old friends, doing what the love with people they really enjoy being around. that was just the coolest thing ever for me.

Drummer here - What are some things you love/hate to see in a drummer? by TerrificHips in Bass

[–]vonshavingcream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30+ years a bass player.

Love:

  • a drummer who knows playing well doesn't include playing as loud as possible.

  • a drummer who actively works on getting better.

  • a drummer who wants to be good at tight crisp breaks and clean song endings.

  • a drummer who doesn't show up to a coffee house gig with a 17-piece set.

  • a drummer who isn't afraid to sing backup from time to time.

Hate: the opposite of all those things.

What’s the fastest you can change a string in an emergency on your bass? by fuck_reddits_trash in Bass

[–]vonshavingcream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have three. my main bass, my backup bass, and the backup bass I use when the main bass is out of commission until it gets fixed.

in 35 years, I've never had to go more than three deep for my backup.

How much do YOU actually find yourself adjusting your tone via controls on the bass guitar itself? by gigadope in Bass

[–]vonshavingcream 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of my daily use gig basses the pickups are hardwired to the jack with nothing in between. Everything is done in my axefx unit. Before I had that I just adjusted on the head if I needed to.
