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.

I sit and think out loud about the tasks I need to juggle this week from my vintage reselling business, my band, and my webcomic series.

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.

Art Inspiration: Digging on old Scooby-Doo cartoon background artwork

I think this scene from the cartoon is what inspired my recent nostalgia for the Money Island computer game I wrote about in my webcomic . Who did these background paintings? I wrote a post about the artist Walter Peregoy who did the background artwork for the series over on my pop-culture roadshow blog . Some of the things I learned about the artist He had a modernist 50s style Designed the 101 dalmatians cartoon look Was an artist for one of the Liquid Television cartoons on MTV Go here to see more...
