Why I do commission work now and became a sellout piece of shit..

Hi! it’s been like a fucking year since I wrote anything so I figured I’d write a little sum sum to catch yall up on my bullshit. So here we are. No one is talking about covid no more but a lot of people definitely have PTSD from the pandemic. So for the past 7 years.. yea you read right, I’ve been working on my highly anticipated follow up Solo artshow “IF FOUND PLEASE DESTROY”, and to be honest I don’t have a good explanation on why it’s taking so long. Have I spiraled into a hole of depression and anxiety? Sure I could say that but if anything that would’ve been enough for me to produce some sick ass pieces, so no what else? Mmm I’m lazy and a master procrastinator.. we are getting closer. Work and relationships getting in the way? meh. I think honestly its all of the above.

It hasn’t been entirely a waste of time between the last show and now. I have produced a lot of commission work, a lot of giveaways, a lot of prints and a lot of side projects…

….I know I know I did exactly what I said I wouldn’t do. I did commission work. My name is ANRK and I am an art whore, “prostituto del arte” like my dad would say. In my defense I made it for past clients who wanted more stuff, and although I could’ve told them to wait for the artshow for new work, I didn’t because.. I’m just lame kill me now.. All jokes aside I wrote a whole ass blog about this and why I didn’t want to partake in such activities but I guess I needed a distraction from what was going on in the world and my personal life. Honestly all it did was push back the show so this is my official apology to those who have actually been waiting.

Now that I got that out of the way, GOOD NEWS I am officially setting up a sneak preview show. It’s not the main show but I guess you could call it an appetizer show. I will be collaborating with another artist, who’s name shall remain secret, but it will be a really dope show for sure in the spring 2023. As for my main show we are looking at fall 2023. There are a lot of logistics that go into putting an artshow like mine together by myself but as far as the work is concerned, it’s pretty fuckin epic. Rest assured the chess pieces are in place.
