Pain And Gain





With my first T-shirt design submitted, I was happily working on many different designs, but when I submitted them they were right away declined, I kept on submitting, reworking and re-submitting my designs, but they kept on getting declined, so after about a couple of weeks of getting declined submissions, I started to feel some pain, but from that pain became gain. I learned that I didn't need to worry about getting my designs submitted and that I can enjoy the artwork that I made even if others didn't. So I created a new blog called Joseph'sweirdart@http://josephsweirdart.blogspot.com/ where I can show and share my designs and enjoy the artwork that I made.
The above drawings are called Living in Paradise, which is my latest design, that has been constantly declined. The first drawing at the top of the page is my first drawing of Living in Paradise and the last drawing is my latest drawing of Living in Paradise. I am still working on it and am hoping that it will get submitted when it is finished.

    I like the design, Joseph. Glad you are going to keep trying. I do believe one time you will have a design that is accepted!

    I think the designs are fantastic. Eventually the makers will see the light I am sure. There a few manufacturers in Australia that are into offbeat forms of artwork Mambo, Billabong, Ken Done etc, etc. Good luck with this venture.

    I love the bright colors in your design, and the cat especially, of course! :-) Good for you for continuing to work on it and improve your efforts! Rejection is painful, but it is part of the process that makes us try harder, and you're doing that. I hope you get a design accepted at some point too, but I think making a collection of your artwork is a wonderful idea because I love the things you've done here for your posts!

    Keep trying. I'm glad you've found a way to enjoy your art for its own sake :)

      Yup, thanks! I think I figured out what the judges are looking for and why they kept on declining my drawings! : )

Toy Cars And a New Computer!

Look at all of my toy cars! I was just organizing them before I put them into a different box, but I had to move them a little early to make some roof for my new computer! So back into the box they went! I've always wanted to arrange my toy cars like this since I was a kid, when I would see them arranged like this in toy car collector magazines and books, I thought it looked pretty cool. Anyway I had to get a new computer because my laptop's screen finally went out and it was becoming slow. It would sometimes take couple of minutes to load a webpage, so I knew I had to get a new computer. I got a Lenovo from Microcenter. It's refurbished, but it looks and works like new. Microcenter also gives you a keyboard and mouse, but it doesn't come with a monitor unless you want one, but it will cost you  a little extra. The whole computer with keyboard and mouse cost a hundred dollars with thirty dollar shipping, very cheap and works better than my laptop.  The rea

I've Found More Trails to Explore!

Uh-oh look at my bike, it's caked in mud! This picture was taken yesterday after I had ridden in the ant hills which is a dirt trail. Unfortunately for me it had rained on Wednesday and Thursday so, the trail was all muddy. I had to scrub hard to wash all the dirt off. There still is some dirt on the pedals and tires but, other than that it's pretty clean. I think I should have waited until the dirt dried up.
