I've often tried to get back on top of it to no avail, which leads me to writing this post.</p><p>As I'm sure you're all aware we have been in and out of covid induced lockdown for the last year and a bit now. This has meant we have all had to adapt in both life and business. For me personally I got diagnosed with ADHD during it which has had quite an impact on me, for the better I'd like to add. It has also made me aware of many of my strengths and weaknesses. One such weakness is my planning and time management. Now in day to day life I've managed to put some things in place to help with this, however one of the most difficult parts for me to get on top of is social media and promotion for the business. As with most people with ADHD when it's fresh in my head i'll be all over it for a period of time then something will happen that is more urgent and take my mind away from it. </p><p>This is incredibly frustrating as I know exactly what I need to do to advertise my business and promote myself and my products, its just incredibly difficult to translate this knowledge to action. I realise that is probably not the greatest thing to admit to the world at large, however I feel that it is all too easy to think of freelancers and self employed business people to be all screwed together and know exactly what they're doing. This isn't necasserily the case and that's fine we don't have to be good at everything and knowing where we are weakest is a great place to start when looking to progress ourselves. </p><p>Self promotion has always been difficult as it feels a bit alien blowing your own trumpet and telling people how awesome you are. It's bad enough taking compliments sometimes and I'm sure many of you can appreciate that. But and this is a big but it is hugely important as a self employed person to be able to sell yourself and your services/products to customers and clients. It's about knowing your self worth and more importantly believing it.</p><p>Now that I have all of that written down I can get to the meat of this post. I am now much more aware of my worth as an illustrator but I'm still not great at blowing my own trumpet. This is where you the reader hopefully come in. Im on the look out for practical tips on self promotion for a self employed illustrator preferrably from an ADHD view point as I know there are a great many people out there in the same boat.</p><p>If anyone has any advice or maybe I can help them in a similar way then please do get in touch on :-</p><p>info@clumsypickle.co.uk</p><p><br /></p><div style="text-align: justify;"> <br />All the best folks</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Michael (aka The Pickle) <br /></div><center></center><center></center><center></center><center></center><center></center><center></center><center></center><center></center><center></center><center></center><center></center><center><br /><center> </center></center><center> </center><center><br /></center><br /><center><br /><center><img alt="Clumsy Pickle" src="http://i1344.photobucket.com/albums/p650/clumsypickle/pickleping_zps67ca1c15.png" style="max-width: 20%;" /> </center></center><center> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ClumsyPickle?ref=hl" target="_blank"><img height="30" src="http://i1344.photobucket.com/albums/p650/clumsypickle/facebook50_zps0f469988.png" width="30" /></a><a href="https://twitter.com/Clumsy_Pickle?ref=hl" target="_blank"><img height="30" src="http://i1344.photobucket.com/albums/p650/clumsypickle/twitter50_zps390448fe.png" width="30" /></a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/profile/view?id=171050471&trk=nav_responsive_tab_profile?ref=hl" target="_blank"><img height="30" src="http://i1344.photobucket.com/albums/p650/clumsypickle/linkedin50_zps285958ce.png" width="30" /></a><a href="https://pinterest.com/clumsypickle/boards/?ref=hl" target="_blank"><img height="30" src="http://i1344.photobucket.com/albums/p650/clumsypickle/pinterest50_zps410a0c26.png" width="30" /></a><a href="https://instagram.com/clumsypickle?ref=hl" target="_blank"><img height="30" src="http://i1344.photobucket.com/albums/p650/clumsypickle/Instagram50_zps9bdf5d30.png" width="30" /></a></center>clumsy picklehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12635999449399896293noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078785768044534725.post-42696053495530113412019-08-31T19:36:00.000+01:002019-08-31T19:36:28.452+01:00August In the Pickle Jar<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Its time for another post and things have been super busy here in the Pickle Jar. For starters I have been painting and creating bunnies left, right and centre. I have also been retaking all my photographs for the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/ClumsyPickle" target="_blank">Etsy</a> page and just generally sprucing things up.</div>

I've recently been doing some work with local businesses in the Grimsby and Cleethorpes area as part of a big national project called <a href="https://totallylocally.org/stuff/" target="_blank">Totally Locally</a>. The whole project is about shopping within your local community to keep the money where it belongs and not in some fat cats pocket. I thought I'd share one of their posters because well the figures speak for themselves!!!</center>

Welcome to this month's Pickle Jar. It's been a busy one this month. I've been working on various unfinished Landmark prints as well as rephotographing them all and updating the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/ClumsyPickle" target="_blank">Etsy</a> store. </center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
Below is my finally finished Tatooine print which I can't wait to get printed. If you're interested in a copy drop me a message and I'll do a pre-order list. Might even do a special offer with the other Star Wars prints!!</center>

I've been a busy pickle today working on all sorts of cool stuff to progress the business. One of which is a funky new mail list so I can keep you all updated with whats going on and to offer some cool special offers to subscribers only. I've popped in a box below so you can drop your email in and get signed up but as you can see in the picture at the bottom I've added it into the side of the blog itself. </center>

So get subscribing folks and lets see what offers we can pull out of the Pickle Jar. </center>

In the Pickle Jar this month I've been super busy getting everything back up and running so I can push forward with all the plans for this year. As such I thought I'd share some of it with you. I also thought I could do a monthly 'In the Pickle Jar' to keep you all updated.</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
So what have I been doing?!? Well I've been updating the Apple Tree Pirates Patreon page and cracking on with drawing strips and puzzle pages for them.</center>
<center>

As well as the Apple Tree Pirates I've been busy working on some new LIA's (Literary Invasion Art) where as before they were mostly single page pieces like in the front of the pile below, I've now started work on some much bigger pieces including a couple of secret ones I'll tell you about another time. All of this and new landmark prints coming for the <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/ClumsyPickle" target="_blank">Etsy</a> store too. So watch this space for more funky updates.</div>

The Apple Tree Pirates has been a pet project of mine for a number of years now. A few years back I made a Patreon page to support it and so I could get things made and out there for the world to see. Sadly with life taking the twisty windy road that is normally the way it kind of got shelved and left to gather dust. Now this has bugged the hell out of me because a project as cool as this should be made and published not left to languish. </center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
As I said in my previous blog post my priorities have changed a lot recently and the Apple Tree Pirates has been pushed up the list...... a lot. So with that in mind I've gone over the Patreon page again and modernised it a bit, rewritten some of it and want to launch it anew. </center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
This is where you guys come in. My intentions are to crack on and draw the Apple Tree Pirates comics, kids books, and activity books and get these little dudes into the public eye. To do that takes time and some new gear wouldn't go a miss either but that can wait. If I can earn enough money from selling my artwork online and the support on the Patreon page then I will be able to work less hours in my day job and spend much more time on making these books a reality. </center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
So if you feel you want to become a patron from as little as 64 pence a month or you know someone who would then share it around and lets see if we can get the Apple Tree Pirates published and in your local book shops. </center>

It's been a while since I blogged and I can tell you now that the last year has been a bit of a roller coaster. </center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
My life has basically been thrown in the air and totally changed in various different ways. But like the proverbial phoenix I have been trying to rise from the ashes and rebuild myself. </center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
Through all of this I have made some discoveries and realisations about myself and in particular my mental health. </center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
Basically I had a break down the middle of last year and effectively broke. This resulted in me reassessing every aspect of my life. I left a great but stressful job which had been a huge part of my life for three years. I ended up in counselling and on anti depressants. As far as I was concerned at the time, my life was over. I have learnt however that this is very far from the case and that it was merely a life lesson to grow from. </center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
I discovered that I had in fact suffered from Anxiety and Depression for a number of years but as is the case with most of us, especially men, we just get on with it and bury it down deep. Stiff upper lip and all that. The problem with that is eventually it rears its ugly head and results in exactly what happened to me, which I wouldn't wish upon anyone.</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
During this period of reassessment and reflection I realised that my priorities had been all wrong and that I need to do the things I want to do with my life. Namely The Clumsy Pickle! I have missed being my own boss and running my own life over the last 3 years and feel like I need to get back on this and get things back in order for my own sanity. I dipped my toe back into the water during the Christmas period and sold way more than I expected, which is brilliant and proves that I do actually have a viable business here if I devote myself to it properly. </center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
Ever the nerd I've kind of adopted the Mentat Mantra from Dune as help to get through all this. It is by will alone I set my mind in motion couldn't be more appropriate really.</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
My aim from now on is to work on my own mental health and hopefully share any knowledge I gain from this with the hope that it might help somebody else out there.</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">

Hi everyone I thought I'd give you all a little update on whats going on here in the pickle jar. </center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
Crazy times are ahead because I only have a week left at my current job before I leave to become freelance again. I'm sure some of you will think it's a bit of a hair brained idea and why would I give up a perfectly good job, believe me I've been having all these thoughts myself.</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
So why do it then I hear you ask. Well good question. As you may know I used to do this several years ago but as is always the way life likes to throw stuff in the way which meant I had to stop. As much as I loved my subsequent job however and it was a god job, it wasn't the same. There was always something gnawing at the back of my brain telling me I had unfinished business, projects that needed to be made real. In itself this was enough to make me think about how to start up again but on top of this I had my first major dealings with mental health. Obviously I've been aware of people having mental health issues for a long time and I guess deep down I knew there was something inside me too, but like a lot of people and especially men I buried it down deep and put on the stiff upper lip us Brits are famed for. In hind sight this wasn't such a great idea. </center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
I realised that anxiety and depression were very real and that my life was causing me to get worse by the day. I was working all the time which caused relationships to break down and limited the amount of time I could spend with my daughter. So after having a little bit of a breakdown my mindset changed. I needed to be in charge of my own destiny, captain of my own ship. This invariably led me to the decision to resurrect the Pickle and do exactly that. I'm not naive by any stretch of the imagination so I realise that these next few months/years are going to be incredibly hard but at least it won't be a Christmas in retail. If you've never experienced it it's hard work believe me. </center>

So there we go in a nutshell, that's why I'm going freelance again. My plan now is to illustrate like I've never illustrated before, and to blog my journey through this. I'll be blogging about my passion for the artwork I'm producing, the trials and tribulations of going freelance and also how important mental health is on a day to day basis, and yes it is fine to admit that you have problems, It's the first step to getting yourself better. </center>

<center>
I can do my light up bunnies in pretty much any character as well as the normal ones from the Etsy store. I'm experimenting with some really cool ones at the moment too so watch this space.</center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are single page LIA's (Literary Art Invasion) or hand drawn book page art from £10.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSgADyPXfIE-nRKWVNSk9nzzI7z7ZOES4MAebbLmOx_dwJN2UrzljLJirQx6LpvTrlZ_O8N8aa0CRNA0zSMahcKfwT8-M2H_R-aNKQBUy9HCudGKSKVKxa_3E2vKSS3fIwc_M2azA7FiI/s1600/AT-AT2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1512" data-original-width="1600" height="603" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSgADyPXfIE-nRKWVNSk9nzzI7z7ZOES4MAebbLmOx_dwJN2UrzljLJirQx6LpvTrlZ_O8N8aa0CRNA0zSMahcKfwT8-M2H_R-aNKQBUy9HCudGKSKVKxa_3E2vKSS3fIwc_M2azA7FiI/s640/AT-AT2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<center>
Then there are the bigger ones. LIA's in pretty much any size, made from multiple pages spliced together and either framed or on a canvas. Prices dependant on size and complexity.</center>
<center>
If any of this looks like the right gift for you then drop me a message and we can make a truly unique Christmas present.</center>

I've been busy over the last few weeks building up stock and have made what seems like millions of bunnies as well as the LIA's (Literary Art Invasion) which is basically hand drawn book page art.</center>

<center style="text-align: justify;">
Hi Folks</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
Some very cool news for you all today. After a bit of a hiatus from the comic scene, I will be attending the awesome <a href="http://www.nottinghamcomiccon.co.uk/" target="_blank">Nottingham Comic Con</a> again this year and I can't wait. It's on the 20th October at the Nottingham Conference Centre and will undoubtedly be even cooler than the last time I was there. </center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
There are some fantastic guests there including the <a href="http://theetheringtonbrothers.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Etherington brothers</a>, <a href="http://monkeymarc.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Marc Laming</a> and <a href="https://beetoons.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Steve Beckett.</a> On top of this there are loads of exhibitors from all walks of the comic world as well as live music and other cool stuff. </center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
So if you're in the Nottingham area or fancy a trip out then come along, say hi and see what cool stuff I'll be bringing along.</center>

You may remember that i used to do this drawing thing many moons ago. Well after life chucking itself in the way like it does every now and again I've not really done any for aaaaagggggggeeeees. That however is about to change. The Pickle is back and so is the Apple Tree Pirates I'm working on the first book as we speak and will be updating much more frequently. So watch this space for more cool stuff. :-)</div>

Happy New Year Everyone. </div>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
Well It's February and as yet I haven't blogged once. Shocking I know but there's loads of changes going on in the pickle jar which mean 2016 is going to be the start of very different times.</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
Firstly don't panic I'm not packing it all in to live in the woods somewhere. I shall still be drawing and creating, hopefully in a much more productive manner. I will however be doing something very different as my career and day to day job. </center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
But what's this I hear you say I thought this was your career?! and yes you're exactly right this is how I've been eking out a meagre income over the last few years. Now don't get me wrong it's been great but there have been some significant down sides to it as well, but that's another story.</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
I've been doing a bit of work with Grimsby uni of late helping teach art at the Saturday club (which I'll explain more in another post), this coupled with doing homework with our now 5 yr old daughter has made me realise I actually enjoy teaching. </center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
As a result I've had a long hard look at my direction and have decided to go back to university and do my PGCE to train up and become a primary school teacher.</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
So as you can see all change. It also means I'll be adding some different items to the blog as I change stuff around. Here's to the new year and let's see what it brings.</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">

Here's a commission from last year I thought I'd share with you. It seems only appropriate that Darth Vader should make an appearance with the upcoming episode VII. </center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
I'm surprised I haven't made more Star Wars bunnies to be honest but there is still plenty of time for that. </center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
So if you fancy something a little Star Warsy then drop me a message for more info.</center>

<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
The bunny orders have gone a bit nuts lately so I thought I'd build up some stock. Below are pictures of all the ones I currently have ready painted. So if you see something you like drop me a message and I can get them posted out straight away. I can still do any character you like and I'm waiting for some new blank bunnies at the moment so bear with me on commissions.</center>

</center>
<center style="text-align: justify;">
I've been busy painting up bunny commissions over the last week or so and thought I'd share this latest batch with you. It's always nice when somebody throws in a random character I've not done before and this batch worked out nicely with a Domino for a change.</center>

<br /></center>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I've been busy working on 'Project Cornelius' lately as well as the ever growing commission list. To make it easier for all of you lovely people to keep up to date with progress and let you have your say I thought I'd resurrect the facebook page. So pop along via the below link and feel free to give it a like. I'll be adding giveaways and all sorts on there over the next few months. </div>
