To Do: Vintage Sales, Music Streams, and Comics

Navigating the multiple tasks I have for my creative ventures this week. I go through what needs to be done for my vintage reselling business, webcomics, and my band, Lorenzo's Music.

In this video vlog, I begin by reviewing what I accomplished from my tasks last week and then setting my goals for this week. I'm going to mark them as I go along.

✅ = Done

⏲ = Still waiting

Last week I had issues with my laptop battery that kept me from finishing some tasks. So there was that.

Vintage Reselling Business - The Pop Culture Roadshow

With a vintage reselling business to run, the first order of business is to pack orders from weekend sales on platforms like eBay and Mercari.

I need to edit the 'What Sold' video I couldn't do last week for my Pop Culture roadshow YouTube channel.

✅ Pack orders

✅ List new items (See the latest items in my eBay store here)

✅ Edit and post a new "What sold" video (Watch my vintage reselling video here)

Band - Lorenzo's Music

We recorded a new live music video for our song "Blue water friction" that needs to be edited and posted. I also need to create some promotional reels and shorts for that. And in keeping with our model of releasing a new song every 45 days I have to submit the next song we've done to our distribution service. Plus, we also have a weekly live music stream we do every Wednesday. So I need to write the show outline for that.

✅ Set up live music stream for the week (Watch the live music stream here)

✅ Edit and upload music video for the song "Blue water friction" (Watch the music video here)

⏲ Submit a new song for distribution

Webcomic - Bobert and the Monster

I have a new webcomic series, 'Bobert and the Monster,' available on Comixology. I need to finish inking the page I couldn't do last week and also live stream the drawing process on YouTube.

✅ Finish inking new comic page (See the inked page here)

✅ live drawing stream (Watch my live drawing stream here)

I'm also still working on a lead magnet to build up my email list. I came up with an idea for a pdf that talks about how I create and publish my webcomics. Now I just need to set up a landing page for the download.

How I use one Gmail address for multiple Soundcloud accounts

Do you know the Gmail "+" trick to use one email for multiple accounts on one service? Here's a little trick I use that works for any service. I talked about this on the podcast episode I did with artist Mortimur K . In this case, let's say I used up all the uploads I have for my free Soundcloud account . With this trick, I can open a new free account and use the same Gmail address. I don't want to create another Gmail account to sign up again. Using my one Gmail address for multiple accounts on the same service I don't remember when I learned this but you can alter the name on a Gmail address. Like, let's say mine is "tom@gmail.com". To be clear that is not my email. I wish it was, but this is just a short example. Start with the original Gmail address Add a "+" after the email name Where it says "tom" on the address I can put a "+" after that. Add a "+" after the email name After that "+" I ca...

Artwork for the original Candy Land game by Milton Bradley from 1955.

I have a vintage Candy Land game from 1955 by Milton Bradley and I was about to sell it so I thought I would add it to my personal art history course concept I've been doing . I'm going to try and see if I can find out how this game was created, designed and why? Here is what I found out about this game https://candy-land.fandom.com/wiki/Candy_Land_Wiki Candy Land is a board game about children exploring a world made out of candy and other sweets that originally came out in 1949. In every version of the game, there are a group of children that go through Candy Land. In the earliest versions of the game, it was a realistically drawn boy and girl. Drawing of the Candy Land kids I did on my phone ☝ https://board-games-galore.fandom.com/wiki/Candy_Land The game was designed in 1948 by Eleanor Abbott , while she was recovering from polio in San Diego, California. It's rumored that Eleanor also did the original artwork but I didn't find anything that...
