Marketing Mondays: Did You Work This Weekend?

.

And how was your Fourth?

It’s the biggest non-denominational holiday of the year. If you’re like most artists, you worked over the weekend—either at your income-earning job, or in the studio because it was the only time off you had from your income-earning job, or because you’re a workaholic and there’s always something that needs to get done. Plus, of course, there’s that other thing: we like what we do, even if we overdo it.

But sometimes we work until we feel like we’ll explode.

So on the heels of a weekend when most of America went to the beach, a barbeque or sat around by the pool, I’m curious:
. Did you work this weekend?
. If so, was it in the studio?
. Do you feel the compulsion to put in that extra hour in the studio?

. Do you still pull all-nighters?
. Do you feel guilty if you take a day off?
. When you take time off, is it still art related (galleries, museums, studio visits) or do actually chill?
. And here’s a biggie: How many hours a week—combination of paying job, if you have one, and studio practice—do you work?

.

Gotta run. I'm writing this on the Fourth and I've got work to do.
