Connecting My Federated Hobby With Comics & Music

In this week's vlog episode, I look at my challenges for the week of vlogging, music, and comic creation. My experience from last week for my solo show, sourcing vintage collectibles, and the unexpected hurdles faced along the way haven't thrown me off the big picture of what I want to do.

I look more towards my new artistic direction this time around, not just the tasks I need to do for the week. I plan on getting more involved with the federated universe, open source culture, and the importance of the community there and their artistic endeavors. Tune in for insights on balancing multiple projects, from comic storytelling to remix albums, and the strategies for monetizing creative work.

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.
