Some Days . . .

 

It's hard to restart things that didn't quite work but should have. Lessons learned, experience gained, regrets regretted. Right now it feels like I wasted a lot of opportunities in my efforts to survive this life and provide for my family. Even today while doing this blog post I get this over whelming feeling of existential dread and it makes me want to go back to bed. Sleep it off and hope it all works out okay.
I know that's not how the world works and I know that if I want to get ahead I need to do the work, etc etc yadda yadda 

What I also now know is that I really need to work all the angles - not just the physical but also the digital art collectors. Time to gamify things and reward the deserving. 

It's not just fun and ganes trying to be a full time living artist. It's more work than you'd expect.  

It's been a minute . . .

 Hey there!

I wonder how many people are still artound this old place. It really doesn't matter though .. .  restarts, fresh rebeginnings and other made up words that conjure up a rebirth.
Heard it done it this aint the third or fourth restart -  but that's how viruses go.

The infection first took hold of me back in 2009 - we got proof - and then it spread onto the internet. It had flare ups and spread into different internet communities and onto different internet platforms. There were flareups here and there with the Google Plus (long gone now) being the biggest source of new zombies for the Horde . . . until the blockchain came around and plunged me and the Horde down a rabbit hole I never knew existed but always knew I wanted.

It was during the time of the global quarantine that forced me to look at alternative ways to spread the message of the Horde. Lockdown and pandemic measures where in place, so conventions were out.
The came the call to crypto. Unexpected and weirdly enough, at just the right time. I concentrated heavily on the WAX blockchain which was great fun and helped me build a great community of people that enjoyed. the darker side of art. The blockchain let me give my art away freely and others could go and sell it for profit. It made more sense at the time. It was fun - I learned a lot of lessons.

But now after so long on the blockchain it is time to once again get grass roots and start building up the Horde the way it began. This time I have help and in the past 17 years so many doors have opened and offers to help been issued - its time to cash in some of those chips and let the Horde grow into the global phenomenon we all know it should be.

There will be heavy concentration on gamifying my artwork, my posting, and everything else we can think of gamifying to make it fun for you to be a part of the Horde, and reward you when you support us. I have learned that the Horde is more than just me. I am the Horde, but you are also the Horde. Together we are the Horde. 

More updates coming as I can think of them. Please be sure to start following the ko-fi page for the excitement we can bring to those that want a little extra fun.

Back to the Ko-fi

We have opened up a NEW and improved Ko-fi page and here's the social media banner for it.

It's mostly being managed by Perry with my artwork and input.

I know I used it before and I really am thankful for all the friends that have bought me coffee in the past. It feels kinda silly to open a new ko-fi page after I spent so much time just trying to get people to follow it.

But there it is. It's gone because.

Now that I'm getting back to work, with HELP that I haven't had before, we needed to get a new revenue source as quickly as possible. Perry and the ZOBs are working hard on the Zazzle store as well as colouring books and other secretive projects that I can't talk about, but these are all long term projects that will generate passive income down the road. 

The last thing I want to do is make posts asking people for money, but I also realize that a lot of people like to give tips when they get a cool kick ass zombie portrait for free. So this is the way they can do it.

I'm trying really hard not to get verbose and explain why it's okay that I do this. I don't know why I always feel like I have to justify my every action, but I do. MEntal Fuckery in my hEAD.

anyways, the Zombie Factory Ko-fi STOP ... go there. Get a free colouring book.

Zombie Avatar

 This is the first Zazzle Zombie portrait that I made in to an avatar. I plan on doing something similar with all my zombie portraits. So ... find https://fb.me/ByronsZombieFactory and post your face if you want one too.
