With everything that has gone on in my life.... it’s time to get back to #art. My dad’s surgery is what has inspired this piece. It’s a #workinprogress and I have so many #ideas for it.... #mixedmedia thoughts dancing through my mind! Started as a #graphite #drawing went back over with my #micron. #gracieprobst #grayseasstudios #artist #artistofinstagram #instaart #instaartist #wip #concept #conceptart #illustration #pen #gettingbacktowhatilove #dowhatyoulove #heart #lvad #medicalillustration #inspired #wipwednesday #wednesday (at Poway, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwGlkdqlw0e/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1j0yw6lwlbf3f

My soapbox Musically (artists)

Let me first start off my saying I’ve learned a lot in the music industry from some wonderful and not so wonderful people in the past…. I did a lot of promoting bands and musicians that I loved for free bc I believed in them! In turn they very much appreciated all that I did that I didn’t have to! Again, I did it because I wanted to! I’ve had a few not be so nice and yes that does make you upset but it also changes how you hear the music! I stopped promoting, never spoke out against them or tried to hurt their careers , I just simply removed myself from promoting them.

With that said… artists of any kind : no you don’t owe anyone anything , but being kind and humble will definitely get you further than being rude or disrespectful! If you judge someone bc they aren’t beautiful, the right size, the right race , and so forth then people will catch on and not be so pleased! You made the decision to be in a spotlight whether you are an area musician or you tour everywhere! You do owe your fans to a certain degree to be kind and friendly to them! After all they are the ones that pay your bills and get you where you are wanting to go! You are nothing without the love from the fans!

Promoting some of the bands I did I’ve gotten to go to different states bc they were nice enough to bring me there.. they appreciated what I did when I didn’t have to… they took me and showed me the behind the scenes. I’ve gotten to see the good and bad… I never expected anything from anyone that I helped but given that special love of friendship just pushed me to elevate the promoting process! Never expect it and great things will happen if you just trust and love and believe!!!

I will now jump off the soap box!!!!

Not sure where I’m going with this yet.... need to step back for a bit and think on it. #takingabreak . Still playing with @artezaofficial brush pens. They’re so easy to just take with me anywhere I go (including the office)... just in case I have an opportunity to put something in my sketchbook. . . . #gracieprobst #grayseasstudios #artist #artistoninstagram #instaart #instaartist #art #dowhatyoulove #gettingbacktowhatilove #instagood #jackofalltradesmasterofnone #greaterthanamasterofone #adventuresinart #happyplace #createandcultivate #stayingmotivated #mondaymood #wip #workinprogress #sandiegoartist #arttherapy #stayinspired #staymotivated (at Poway, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByQqCfxFKwP/?igshid=10rr9xeng6xzr

#flashbackfriday.... more from undergrad. That #chiaroscuro was definitely not good in this 🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️.... still need to work on that! So #goal for this year is to take #figuredrawing again. I’ll find the time for it somewhere in the #chaos of #thislittlelifeofmine. . . . In the mean time I have a few logos and a commission piece that I need to work on 🤯😬 . . . #gracieprobst #grayseasstudios #artist #artistoninstagram #instaart #instaartist #art #dowhatyoulove #gettingbacktowhatilove #instagood #jackofalltradesmasterofnone #greaterthanamasterofone #adventuresinart #createandcultivate #sandiegoartist #fbf #sweetmemories #csun #csunorthridge #happyplace #behappy #sometimesyouneedtolaughatyourself (at Poway, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByIrpnnlZb-/?igshid=bfezlhjron89

#throwbackthursday to my last year of undergrad (nearly a decade ago 🤯).... *sigh* #intaglio #etching..... #zinc.... #stonehengepaper.... I miss #printmaking. Anyone have a #printingpress I can borrow or you know.... have?! 😂🤣😂 . . . However, lately I’ve been thinking about my sketches and wondered where these #swirly #vibes come from..... low and behold they’ve been there all along! Maybe I’m just picking up where I left off 🤷🏽‍♀️. Ever look back at your #oldwork and see a #commonthread to what you’re creating now? . . . . #gracieprobst #grayseasstudios #artist #artistoninstagram #instaart #instaartist #art #dowhatyoulove #gettingbacktowhatilove #instagood #jackofalltradesmasterofnone #greaterthanamasterofone #adventuresinart #tbt #createandcultivate #sandiegoartist (at Mira Mesa, San Diego) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByHOR6nlf77/?igshid=1ah8p70rhuaf7

I spend my days in an office..... and the views leave me wanting for something.... anything.... better..... One of these days.... I’ll catch a beautiful sunset at the beach... you know on a day when I leave the office and have no errands to run afterwards.... *sigh* #agirlcandream Until then... I’ll just digitally paint one.... trying to get use to @procreate. The battle between #traditionalart and #digitalart.... who wins?! . . . . . #gracieprobst #grayseasstudios #artist #artistoninstagram #instaart #instaartist #art #dowhatyoulove #gettingbacktowhatilove #instagood #jackofalltradesmasterofnone #greaterthanamasterofone #adventuresinart #happyplace #sandiego #sunset #chasingthesun #officelife #dreamingofthebeach #summertime #digitalpainting #digitalarts #createandcultivate #dreams #sunnydays (at Poway, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxygzDzFycr/?igshid=15t5r7wov4mm1

Playing around with @artezaofficial brush pens on this #mindfulmonday. When I put #pentopaper (or in this case #brushpen) and let my mind wander I end up with #doodles like this regardless of what medium I use 🤷🏽‍♀️ I’m sure I’m not the only one. Admittedly.... #watercolor is not necessarily my forte but it’s definitely fun to work with. 😊 #abstractart #mondayblues #gracieprobst #grayseasstudios #artist #artistoninstagram #instaart #instaartist #art #dowhatyoulove #gettingbacktowhatilove #instagood #jackofalltradesmasterofnone #greaterthanamasterofone #adventuresinart #happyplace #arttherapy #stayinspired #dailydoodle #lineart #mindlesslywandering #organiccreations #exploringnewmediums #dailyhabits #dailyart (at Poway, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxsjknflNCW/?igshid=1977zc90mmwwo
