bookmark_borderPhoto to Gif: Butterfly Witch // Work in Progress Painting

Posted on by savethesavages

I’m really upset with what’s happening in the USA right now. Everywhere I look, it’s just bad news. Again, why is the president and his family exempt from ever being audited by the IRS ever again?? Please remind why I should continue to pay taxes…

So yes, I have been posting and organizing photos, memes, and other images that I’ve hung on to or forgotten about for years and uploading them to my Flickr and here. This is my comfort zone for now.

It feels really hopeless at this very moment especially when you’re reading all the bad news but I know justice and karma are on its way. I know this because some astrologers I follow on Twitter are seeing it, I know that cycles come and go. The karmic Wheel of Fortune is forever turning, it never stops.

On a smaller scale, have faith in yourself and your values. Take it day by day and find time to disconnect from the internet. Create art, make music, garden, clean your space, organize your files, write/journal, run/walk, meditate, talk to trees. Take care of yourself, you exist in this moment and time for a reason. Blessed be.

I don’t know which one looks better, kinda like the darker one though…
But I also like this one…

There is the you that goes to work and does ‘work stuff’

There is the you that loves to create whether it’s through art, music, food, writing, computer programming, building, being in service to others, etc.

There is the you that loves and has compassion for animals.

There is a you that cares about the environment.

There is a you that has many layers of depth.

You are a multidimensional human being.

*This has been in my drafts for a while, like since 2016 or something. Crazy, right? I was trying to go deep but didn’t get that far so I figured I’ll just post it as is.

I just really love how this gif came out (it was a gif, but made it into an mp4 to make the file size smaller). I could probably create a million more versions of this, and I most definitely will.

This is a photo that I took of my Butterfly Witch painting. I setup my Aura Quartz crystal skull in front of the painting among other Quartz crystals and took the photo. I then took it into Photoshop and cut out parts of the background. I then brought it into After Effects. I can’t remember the rest of the steps from there, but I’m using the Tunnel effect that you can probably search YouTube for the After Effects tutorial.

As soon as I hit “post”, I fixed up another version that I will make into a bigass gif just like this one 😉

I really love how this one turned out. Yes, I put an Instagram filter on it to make it even darker and more moodier, but wow go me. I really need to play with After Effects more and still would love to learn Cinema 4D. I learned both in 2004 but never got around to using it. So why don’t I pick it up again? Oh yeah, it’s because I spend too much time on the gram and social media in general instead of creating/learning more. Sigh, so lame…

What have I been up to? I’ve been more quiet, playing/experimenting with both my Instagrams. Sales/acquiring clients is still challenging especially for this introvert but at the same time I’m getting better at talking about my stuff. I am advertising but with very small budgets. But I also honestly believe that all markets are flooded with digital content; it’s getting harder to grab people’s attention online but that’s okay, I’m not super concerned about it. Everything will work itself out.

Thankful that I have a fulltime job so I can learn, play and experiment with my business ideas. I’ve resisted, struggled and questioned as to why I’m still here 5 years later, but now I understand. I entertained the idea of entrepreneurship for some time, but now I know it’s really not for me – I’m just not a hustler. Even though it has been challenging getting clients, I still believe that everything comes easily and effortlessly if I just allow it and to give it time.

Majority of my money has been going to bills (which I’m also thankful for) but I’ve also incurred some debt while experimenting with my business ideas. So I’ve been trying to cut back on purchasing witchy, magickal things and just keeping it basic. In the meantime, I’m back to the self-help thing while I save money. Not really driving too far to make my car last longer, which also saves on gas.
