“But one does not go into the Dollar Tree for one item, and then leave with one item. You go in for one item and you leave with $30 worth of random crap you had no idea existed, or that you needed, before you went into the Dollar Tree.”
Truer words have never been spoken.
I think everyone who wishes should do inktober, it's a great way for artists at every level to expand their skills, collaborate, and share. Let the artist work out their legal issues. These type of issues should be worked out privately as the public usually doesn't have all the facts. Thanks for all that you do.
My weekend can't start until I've had my iced coffee and Sat Chat with Lindsay. 😊👍
I have to say that your attitude is refreshing. I think we have become people who succumb to reacting and overreacting before all the facts are known. Your willingness to pause and wait till more is learned is admirable.
I think inktober has grown beyond one person like Jake Parker. Its about doing daily art, sharing it and getting better so I have no problem participating.
Watching you is better than watching a movie! you always give me positive energy! love you Lindsay 🌹
You look amazing. You’re so uplifting. Thanks for my Saturday chats. ❤️
I might be going out on a limb here, but I think Inktober has become something larger than it's creator. It has certainly created a chapter in my yearly art sketchbook, and I can say, with certainty, that it has done the same for at least a couple (million) more people out there. It's inspiring, thought provoking, emotionally nuts, all the 10000 things that a movement can be. I don't think I could turn my back on it if I wanted to.. which I don't. I've been thinking about what I'm going to do for several months...
You know the saying about divorcing the art from the artist? It's sort of like that. Creators would never get anywhere if their personal lives dictated the results of their efforts.
BTW, nice necklace and earrings! I especially love the earrings since they are totally my style.
Why are folks having such a hard time with the fact that mans ideas were stolen and Jake profited from them. No one makes excuses about "it being a mistake" or giving anecdotes to explain theft when their things and ideas are taken. TH-cam will gladly give you a copyright strike if you play music or someone reports you for stealing content. ALL OF A SUDDEN folks want to act like it's not a big deal to take property. What Americans like to do most of all, is to ignore the taking, selling, and profiting, off others so that they can be happy. It's shameful really. This comment section is full of "We just want "OUR" Inktober that Jake gave to us!" Jake "gave" what he did not create but y'all are out here wanting to paint pretty pictures, both literally and figuratively, even if it's for the sake of THEFT and PROFIT. How GROSS!
Lisa Catlett I understand why you are angry. I really do. But first Jake Parker really did start Inktober. That’s not in dispute. Second, you can have so much faith in Alphonso Dunn as to take his word on the plagiarism accusation, that’s understandable, but even he cannot be sure. Jake Parker’s new book has not been published yet. You and I have not seen it. Alphonso Dunn hasn’t seen it either; his concern is based off a few stills and a 20 second video posted on Instagram.
I can see why you would feel so sympathetic to Alphonso Dunn’s position. But given the fact that none of us has seen Jake Parker’s book, I don’t understand how you can condemn those who enjoy Inktober and do not feel as though their participation is the same as supporting theft.
I’m am not dismissing the long, painful history of Black creatives not receiving credit, recognition, and payment for their work. I wish I wasn’t aware because it is so bloody painful, but I am. I do not support the idea that enjoying an artist’s work is somehow an endorsement of everything that artist has ever done. Do you really want your work to be judged by your entire life?
I’m not naive enough to contend that one’s work is solely judged on merit. I am willing to bet that you and I both have lived experiences that have taught us otherwise. I’m not even advocating that only the work should be considered.
My position is more nuanced. I would submit that some work is so great that it eclipses the artist. I also think though that every observer is going to have to determine where that line is for themselves.
It is quite possible to enjoy an art piece or participate in a festival while condemning bad behavior at the same time. I can like R. Kelly’s music while believing that his conduct with underage girls is criminal. I can think Mel Gibson is a terrible person and think that Apocalypto is sublime. Woody Allen is creepy but Match Point is a thoroughly enjoyable film. Even Bill Cosby’s contemptible and gross crimes do not mean his jokes weren’t well crafted and funny.
At some point the life of the creator can overshadow their work. Bill Cosby is like that for me. I recognize his talent but it isn’t enough that I can forget what he did and watch his comedy. I can however watch many of the films produced by Miramax and The Weinstein Company. I’m no long interested in any of Roseanne’s work though I found her first comedy special funny. I think Whoopi Goldberg is a supreme talent, and I am up for just about anything she does, but that blackface routine she wrote and performed with Ted Danson was cringey.
Loving Café Terrace at Night doesn’t mean that I think Vincent Van Gogh lead an exemplary life that I want to emulate. I happen to feel that Salvador Dalí was a mad genius when it came to sculpture, cannot stand the majority of his paintings, and frankly his private life makes me more than a little uncomfortable. I think you get what I mean.
All of the people who enjoy participating in Inktober are not endorsing artistic theft nor even Jake Parker as a man. They are just saying they like Inktober. I’m willing to bet a fair number of them do not even know who Jake Parker is.
I would listen to you for an hour! Congratulations on your new adventure, they picked an EXCELLENT person and I can't wait until Wednesday comes! God Bless
I will be doing inktober regardless of the drama. I only found it 2 years ago and it jas helpped my 'art' consdrably
I have come to believe 2020 is the year of Drama, Bullies, and Canceling... just sad, that no one waits for the full story or final result before they jump and attack... I for one, will just keep creating and avoid it... creating, drawing, painting any form of art is my therapy... and I plan on continuing it no matter what... love your Halloween Haul... def hope you have more Halloween creations , crafts & cards planned... that is what I am filling my October with.
Yeah the last chat had like 10 adverts 😅 I just let them play to support your channel, but quite relieved that this week has very few adverts
me too, I had gotten very annoyed by an ad every 3 minutes
It is a sad state of the world that we are coupon clipping for health. Love you and your videos ❤️
So true!
Thats what I was thinking as well when I heard that, and also chocked about the price of medication and that it might not be included in people’s health insurance. I live in a different corner of the world and luckily we have all health care and medication through our taxes. (Apart from a small fee to see the doctor of around $30, but never more than $170 in a year no matter how ill you are). Taxes are probably higher then in the US (we pay around 25-35% income tax depending on how much you earn). So high taxes but free healthcare, cheap child care/nursery and free education both for children and even university (after 18 you pay for your books).
Very off topic - but your tale just really made me think, and realise how different things can be.
I absolutely refuse to sign up to premium as TH-cam has enough money and they dont pay the majority content creators properly that deserve it over the influencers, children and narcissists that dominate their fees.
I would much rather contribute financially to the creators I love, Lindsay being my favourite. You don't know this but your content Lindsay has got me through some bad times in my life over the past few years and have rekindled my love of art. So thank you. XXX
Rebecca, I feel the same about the "premium" membership garbage, and also about Lindsay's channel and content. She got me back into art, and gave me the info and teaching that started me on some things I'd have never tried otherwise. And her enthusiasm and cheer are a breath of fresh air with all the negative in the world.
I got so sick of the ads that I actually did sign up for a free month of premium yesterday. So maybe I won't renew and see what happens after that. If it is that easy for Lindsay to remove the ads, then maybe more people will also figure it out and it will stop being so onerous.
@@barbararegina5198 I don't want Lindsay to remove her ads though so she still gets revenue from them.
If premium works for you then keep it. I'm just grumpy and obviously getting old because I am getting more obstinate over things like that. I don't like the way TH-cam treats its creators and I don't want to give extra money on top of all the other streaming stuff I pay for.
Inktober is so fun and I love following the people who do it. I don't care who started it I watch anyone doing it. Please don't be a sheep be a lion
Always interested in your tutorials. Making cushion covers or decorating the mantle
The thing a few folk haven't mentioned is parker had previously recommended Dunn's book. There also didn't seem to be many inktober references or tips for a book with inktober in the title. I am inclined to think a ghost writer might have been used.
I love your sat chat and I LOVE the "Thing" hands!! You handled your problem brilliantly, as a business-owner, your own brand manager and an artist. You turned an awkward situation into a discussion, which led to a mutual beneficial outcome. Bravo! I am off to go look at Craftworld because that sounds pretty great. Congratulations on being chosen!!
"An artist who stays busy collecting crafts and art paper etc... Is a wise artist." Now where is my paint brush!!.
A great video Lindsay👍👍👍👍👍
Love Halloween. Love Dollar Tree. Always come out with at least 20 things I don’t need. Lol
Haha, glad I'm not alone!
Same!
I would say to not get involved in the drama. It’s not about Inktober, it’s about two grown men, one accusing the other of plagiarizing, not so much the content, but the layout. You can still do Inktober, though the name may be trademarked by Jake, the concept of drawing everyday, in October, can be called anything. I look forward to seeing your art.
mzebony much more than two grown men arguing about plagiarizing.... Alphonso Dunn did the work and if you watch his video you see the painstaking work that went into it! And then Jake and his C&D letters just makes me cringe!!! No more Inktober for me!!!
I agree with you. I like doing “Inktober” for my own growth, and I have both Alfonso’s books which I bought when they first came out. I am not a trained Intellectual Property attorney, and only they can really present a fair case for this. Not the public! So, all the rest of these “problems” are not my business and I’ll leave them to the attorneys to present and judge’s deciding. Social media vigilante behavior isn’t right. It’s just like the trolls who use to post hate on anyone and everyone’s pages...now we’ve got vigilante bully’s telling us what we can and can’t do because they’ve come up with the verdict. No thank you. Not being bullied by vigilant trolls now.
Why are folks having such a hard time with the fact that mans ideas were stolen and Jake profited from them. No one makes excuses about "it being a mistake" or giving anecdotes to explain theft when their things and ideas are taken. TH-cam will gladly give you a copyright strike if you play music or someone reports you for stealing content. ALL OF A SUDDEN folks want to act like it's not a big deal to take property. What Americans like to do most of all, is to ignore the taking, selling, and profiting, off others so that they can be happy. It's shameful really. This comment section is full of "We just want "OUR" Inktober that Jake gave to us!" Jake "gave" what he did not create but y'all are out here wanting to paint pretty pictures, both literally and figuratively, even if it's for the sake of THEFT and PROFIT. How GROSS!
Lisa Catlett Did you not watch Lindsay’s video? She does EXACTLY what you claim no one does: She told a story about her work being used without permission and how she handled it. In her case it led to a successful business arrangement.
Here’s another example: While I was in college a club I was working with ripped off my entire design for their magazine. They used my ideas and work without crediting me nor paying me as they were supposed to do. I chose to do nothing about it because they turned out dreck and the best part of their magazine was my design work. I didn’t want my name associated with poor quality so I let it go.
Lots of artists behave badly in myriad ways. Lots of people who found charities and events turn out to be unsavory people but guess what? Unsavory people can have good ideas and terrible people occasionally do good things.
I agree. I'm still doing Inktober because I bought the box already, but I'm not adding the hashtag to my posts.
I can confirm as an adult, you ALWAYS need stickers. 😁 Happy Saturday and thanks for the video! I enjoyed the haul and immediately saw the hand on your desk and wanted one lol. Have a wonderful week. See you next video 😀
Thank you Lindsay, I joined craftworld.com. also, I love your attitude toward finding out the facts before starting a war. You used a lot of good common sense. Instead of attacking, and because of your approach you have a good relationship with that company now. I applaud you. Happy crafting! 😊
I really hope Inktober still happens. I’d never even heard of it until last year, and I didn’t participate because I was still thoroughly convinced that I couldn’t draw. I’ve gotten really into drawing and painting since quarantine started and was looking forward to participating in Inktober this year. I don’t know anything about the founder, and this was the first I’ve heard of all this drama. So sad! But, it’s still a great idea - why can’t it grow beyond its founder, regardless of the outcome?
Because if you want to publish and sell your "Inktober Sketchbook" he will come after you and blame it on the overzealous lawyers. I might do Stinktober though.
Meda Halmaciu ah, I never thought about anyone publishing/selling their sketchbook - I figured it was just a fun personal challenge. Shows what I know. 🤷♀️
To be fair he backed down on that, your art is your art regardless of if you took part in a challenge or not. He dosnt want his logo on people's stuff for sale but there is no reason you cant sell your collection of work. He simply trademarked the name and logo but apologized for his lawyers going after zine creators. Or that was the official statement, I didnt see any of it happen.
thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich ok, I can see him not wanting his logo used to promote someone else’s work. It sounds to me like the whole situation just got blown up bigger than it needed to be. Gotta love social media for that!
@@thefrugalcrafter The new sketchbooks have the Inktober logo on the cover. I was told on another channel that if an artist wanted to sell their completed sketchbook, they would have to check with JP first. I'm not sure if that's true, especially if you just use it as a random sketchbook or for watercolor not ink.
Lindsey, I love these Sat Chat vlogs. This one cracked me up! Thank you for keeping things real. ❤️
I am distancing myself from both parties until they work it out. I don't need/want the drama. I will be doing art every day, but will not be putting any challenge name on it. There are tons of daily art challenges, in various media, so it would be easy enough to find daily prompts from another, if you have trouble coming up with ideas. I like peace, and my goals are to do something creative every day and improve. Getting pulled into someone else's drama gets in the way, and saps the joy out of it. So, although I had planned and prepared for the one challenge, I decided against it. I will be avoiding anything with that name on it this year, for the sake of peace and to maintain the joy and love of creating.
I enjoyed your Sat and Chat very much. Thank you taking time out of your busy day to do this for us.
Hi 👋
Yeah inktober..... this year was going to be my channels very first participation, but, after being told about and then reading about the book issue, I’ve created my own art challenge instead.
Looking forward to that, I got my spaghetti ready 😁
Schnörkel ajneF 😄😄😄😄 woohoo 🎉
The Thing dish can be a cute mixing dish for paints! Inktober, Inkvember...who cares...just pick up your ink and paints and create every day, every month....no prompts needed here!
Brilliant video Lindsay, and as usual you are a breath of fresh air! Thankyou for getting rid of some of the ads, don’t mind two or three, but it is getting ridiculous, so well done! Of course it’s only so we pay TH-cam to take them out, scandalous in my opinion. Thank goodness for critique club. Best wishes x
So glad I found your channel! Your energy and enthusiasm are welcoming and refreshing. I agree with you about "review" videos. I hate when they spend five minutes using a product that was sent free of charge, and rave about how awesome it is. Then I stupidly purchase said products only to have them dry out or stop working after a couple days. The reviews should begin with " this is a product I have been working with for a couple weeks now....", Not unbox, unwrap, swatch, and yeah it's the best ever...please purchase and I will make a very, very small commission. That is a pet peeve of mine too, and you are the first person I have ever heard address it, Thank you!!!
We, in the UK, do indeed refer to a valance (rhymes with balance) for what you know as a bed-skirt. I noticed your use of that term last week, realized what was meant, and thought it was so cute! I couldn't resist telling a couple of friends (Do you know what Americans call a valance...) and it made us all smile, a bed-skirt, what a sweet name. I learn more than craft watching your wonderful videos.
Hi Miss Frugal.... im watching your sat chat late in the evening..... you make me laugh when you discovered how to eliminate so many commercials. I do enjoy your channel... blessings to you...
I have taught history of theory classes; one thing I learned - there are no new ideas. When I was in Egypt it became clear to me those folks created everything! I have had my professional work stolen before; I just let it go assuming a challenge might cause more harm. Might not have been a wise decision - but I am wiser now! Hey - congrats on your partnership with Craftworld!
I’m excited for inktober! I just received my art snacks inktober kit. 💜🎃 Love it!
I'm still going to get out my quill and ink and do inktober. It'll be my third year and I'm looking forward to it. Too bad about having to worry about doing it or not.
I love that you love color in your house. My kitchen is yellow and lime green with my windows trimmed in orange.
Thank you for your thoughts on the Inktober issue. I watched the video describing what he felt was copying. In my efforts to improve I have purchased far to many books. What I found is that they all had the same elements. It wasn't until I picked up some used art textbooks that I realized that the reason they were all similar is because these have been instructional methods for many, many years. Who is right...I don't know. But I hope people will not make any artist feel they need to take a side. I will not stop following an artist for this reason. Thank you again for your countless hours of work. I wish you well.
Thank you for figuring out the add thing seemed like for me every minute I was getting an add. On inktober I feel it is a totally separate thing from the controversy, I do no do inktober, but I went over and bought sketch books and ink to support that company. I know that it seems like right now everyone is on a “call to action” without all the information, or taking a side just because.
I am still going to do inktober because I like the challenge and always do what I can to improve my art. Well within reason :)
Doing Inktober because I find it Funz!
Lindsay, you crack me up! I hope all those little trinkets from Dollar Tree bring you joy. Wink, wink.
Thanks for the tip on Good RX! I LOVE you sat chats! You always cheer me up! Don’t know enough about the ink guys to comment. I trust your judgement.
I watched Alphonso’s video. At first I found odd that Jake Parker could copy someone else’s book but at the same time, it does look like he did that.
True that the all “learning how to ink” subject is universal but for me, this is the first book you publish, then comes the illustrations. Jake has been known for its inking skills for years, yet he never thought of publishing a book about the process?
In any case I agree that it would have been better to try to resolve the matter privately. All this story it’s hurting many companies that rely on Inktober.
I really wanted to participate this year, I was already choosing the subjects to draw and it’s a shame to ignore this great event for an unresolved and speculative matter. We shall see.
Thank you Lindsay for these Sat Chats. Always a pleasure to watch 💕
Azzu Paris I think if Alfonso would have tried to do it privately the issue would not have been addressed. Jake is notorious for being difficult to work with. Making it public forced a response.
Krystin Sawyer I didn’t know that about Jake. Thanks for clarifying
If it was brought up to Chronicle books (the puublisher) it would have to be addressed. They wouldn't take the fall for any writer. They would have to investigate. That could result in the book getting pulled or maybe a writer credit and royalties paid to mr dunn if there was a case. Even if Jake didnt want to address it the publisher would have to.
thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich True! Great point.
I’ve always thought the excessive amount of ads was one way to make people pay for the premium account. It worked on me.
Made me stop watching some channels and using tricks to skip out on all midroll ads without paying myself or them getting paid. Paying for premium rewards them for forcing the ads.
selbarton I’m on mobile. Background play is worth it. Wish I was cheaper but I also use Gmail and stuff.
I took Inktober last year for the first time and I enjoyed it so much!! I had ups and downs, I got to use black ink marker and focused on making black & white art which is so much different to my style. I was committed to do it everyday and I am very proud of myself for actually doing it. Also, unintentionally all the things I love and inspire me came out through the themes. What I am trying to say is that I am no professional artist but for me it is important to challenge and grow on whatever interests me. I was really looking forward to Inktober this year. I don’t agree with people stealing other people’s work, no matter who they are. I am inclined to do it this year again because even though it was created by one person, it is what it is today due to the people who do it. It’s a challenge, it’s a skill developing process and it is a pity to hold people from becoming better on what they do. James Parker is not going to earn anything from me doing it but I am also scared from people accusing those who will do it. I guess I might do it silently BUT the reason I managed to complete the challenge is just because I had committed publicly. None of my friends are doing art (unfortunately) and they all told me that they were looking forward to my drawing of the day. Decisions decisions...
Dear Lindsay, I just saw the announcement of you joining the Craftworld in my inbox and I just had to come over here and say CONGRATS and I cannot wait for Wednesday! (Somehow the whole inktober thing made me forget all about your great news from this Sat chat, which I always look forward to!).
Oh...but on the happy plus side of things...I am definitely going to check out your "craftworld" debut. Sounds like so much fun!
I'm afraid Jake Parker is kind of well known for being a bit of a prick when it comes to inktober including sending cease and desists to people using the Inktober tag on published work. I'll be doing Drawlloween this year rather than Inktober.
Guess I’m behind who is Jake Parker?
@@RobinMuddSimpleDesigns Don't worry - I didn't know who he was either until last week. He's more famous this week though and for all the wrong reasons. An ink illustrator on TH-cam called Alphonso Dunn alleged that a book Parker was about to publish, had been plagiarized from a book originally published by Dunn called Ink and Pen drawing.
They did not get ceace and desist letters for using the hashtag, it was for using the name and logo on work for sale and they backpedaled on that.
That is not quite true. He copyrighted the inktober logo and wants people to not use the logo unless they are a sponsor but people can sell their artwork made from inktober and reference inktober as the inspiration, just don't use the logo. There were some uber eager lawyers who wrongly sent out a few letters in haist not fully knowing Jake's wishes and nothing became of it. There is a statement from Jake on this, go check it out.
@@thefrugalcrafter Yes, you are right. And Jake keeps stressing that he doesn't want to hurt artists and just wants to stop any corporations from marketing anything bearing the logo. However, I noticed over the years that artists incorporated the logo in their artwork when it wasn't trademarked. What about those? Seems like he did go against them though. I have no idea... Ugghh, I am so over Inktober. 😕
You can use the Goodrx card for pet meds too.
Really!?! Oh man, I just bought brevecta and interceptor last week!
Omg you can!?!? That's great. Thanks for the info!
In my personal experience I was not allowed to use a good rx coupon for my cats diabetic insulin. At least at walgreens they said that the coupons are only for humans. They would not honor it because the insulin was for a cat.
You went to Dollar Tree for vitamin B. And you crack me up! I just learned about Good RX just this morning. Saved me $300! I don’t understand how that’s possible but I am grateful as I had decided I would have to decline the medication. My favorite videos are your Sat Chats. Keep up the great job. Thank you!
Oh my goodness, I am so glad I mentioned it! Hugs and be well:)
Thanks so much for addressing the amount of ads in your videos. I love watching all of your content but the ads were making it so difficult to stayed focused. this one was much better!!
Thats wonderful!! How exciting!!
LOL, you crack me up! Love your energy. I got the Day of the Dead scarf last year. That's what we were for Halloween and I also used it as a headwrap
I did major spring cleaning while listening to this, then started sorting out my compost and leaves.
Good for you!
Am an avid fan of yours from the Philippines! Been watchin all your tutorials over and over... Can't wait for more... Pls. Make some using gouache and oil paints...? I love all your tutorials. 😘😊🎨❤️
Dear Lindsay, I think you should just do a ink project for all the people that follow you . Make up your own list and lets just have fun. You are my go to art show . You bring happiness into our day. You can just call it Fun-ink month or something like that. Stay well and may God Bless.
Great Sat. Chat! Would love mantel video. Love the dollar store finds. As always great video! Thanks 😊
You crack me up!! So glad I discovered your channel, your teaching me how to watercolor as well as making me laugh and showing me creative uses for items at the Dollar tree that I wouldn't have thought of.
You can make flips for junk journals. I saved my junk mail envelopes to decopage. There are a ton of ideas out there!
I'm not going to do JP's challenge this year. However, I have a suggestion....a Lindsay October drawing challenge. Linktober! Then I don't have to stick to pen and ink and can use graphite, colored pencil or whatever I have on hand. Wouldn't that count as being frugal? :D
Love art supplies and hauls 😍😍😍
So glad you found all the breaks. I was wondering what was going on.
4amPST /7am EST... Congrats, and I will see you on the replay. Love CraftWorld!! 😘✨👍🏾
So far @17mins /27 mins, I have stopped three Acorn ads. Total ads seen: 6.
Yes Alphonso showed us the copied demo sketches! Not nice Jay Parker, tsk, tsk!! Alphonso put a lot of time into that book, and honest mistake would be one demo sketch, but more than three is not a mistake, Lindsay. He could’ve changed the shapes to illustrate shading or hatch marks, but the exact shape... oh no!! Not only the demo sketches, but the wording. It’s like Tim Holtz and the MISTI!
Concerning inktober, I agree with you. I have a handful of drawing instructional books, some from the 70’s, all showing roughly the same wording, layout, and concepts, using a variety of lines to give the illusion of volume on a 2-D surface. I felt that Alfonso did not have a strong enough argument to hold up in court. But since the two of them have made it a very public battle, it’s better to go with something like drawtober. The biggest issue with changing the # is there will not be one unifying hashtag for the whole month which was kind of the point. Some people are doing this tag, other people are doing that tag... it is a mess and a real shame.
I don't understand the whole ad business on TH-cam but I have never seen any on your videos. Nice Sat Chat. Nothing like a good trip to the Dollar Tree!!
This year is the first I’ve seriously considered doing Inktober- I’ve been thinking that I want to work on my drawing and thought it would be a good time to do it. So, darn it with their scandal... change the name and do it anyway. It’s about personal development, anyway. I probably will do it, but I’m not an Internet personality, so it won’t matter to anyone if I do it or not. Thanks for sharing some of your world and all the crafting videos, I’ve learned so much from you over the years.
So glad you figured out what was going on with the ads. I don’t mind letting them play to support you but they interrupted you literally in the middle of a word, and sometimes they were like half the length of your video when their times were added up! On the Dollar store haul, I love the hand! I loved the Addams family.
Lindsay, I love watching you, You make me laugh and I love it, I haven't been to the dollar store in a long time and it's just around the corner, I gotta go now I guess. You talked me into it lol
For once I must be a head of time I’ve been doing slimline cards for years just because I had those long envelopes and that’s what I want to put them in
wrt the annoying ads, you are correct Lindsay: but I'm past complaining, my new approach to you tube ads is to stop watching the vid once the ads start interrupting. often i only see about 3 min of a vid but hey, there are plenty other vids to watch. so thank you for finding the tab, I can watch your vid, all 30 min of it!!
Fun Sat Chat. We just used GoodRX for our dog's meds and saved quite a bit so it's not just for humans. Congrats on your new venture! The site sounds great. I hope the swimmer's ear doesn't get complicated. We had a pool and I had to wear ear plugs to keep from getting them. Nice haul, too! Thanks for the fun chat.
The drops worked, we have to use them for 10 days tho to be safe
Hey Lindsey, I'm doing inktober but I'm not doing the official prompt list.
Thanks Lindsay for the video, I’m headed for Dollar Tree after watching you, also planned on doing Inktober but after seeing the video from A Dunn I’m not sure, I’ve been doing Doodlewash since August and I love the challenge of painting everyday, i can really see my improvements, I find I’m more confident and faster at sketching so I may continue with that if it’s available , just trying to stay neutral, this 2020 has been overwhelming enough xoxo stay safe
Congratulations Lindsay!!!🎉❤❤❤
Lindsay I saw very similar illustrations that were referred to by Mr. Dunn in old art instruction books that were published in 1989 and I have many older than that, containing variations or shading, stippling and other methods of achieving texture. I take no side as I don't know the whole story. That being said I will be doing Inktober with or without Jake's prompt list. I did the hand demonstration chart for Sign Language last year, I don't post most of my efforts because I don't make an income from my creative efforts and there fore I have the carefree attitude "I could care less if someone does or does not like what I create, I did not do it for anyone but me"; hope you participate in whatever way you choose and have fun. Both of these creators are adult men, let them settle their issue among themselves or with in the courts if needs be. In my opinion the public at large should mind their own business and continue with what ever they would have done prior to the public video accusation. Bravo on your position with Craftworld, hope your first posting Wednesday goes well and you have loads of fun. You seemed so happy and excited today, it was wonderful to see.
It was not si much the techniques but format and verbiage. Dunn made a logical progressive format to follow with clear concise instruction. This is what Parker copied in a manner that does not reference his type of art. If he showed his own process using the eons old drawing techniques it wouldn't have been an issue with Dunn . We shall have to wait and see. Too bad lawyers had to get involved instead of just speaking with the publisher first.
I'm so happy for your new endeavors with Craftworld; that's a well-deserved honor! Oh, those excessive ads; lol-I remember you asking us to watch them through if we could, and oh I tried, but I hated them so much! What I hate too is that TH-cam decided as of last month they would no longer send email notifications for your videos; I think I must have been among that "less than .01%" that actually opened those emails. LOL (Regarding the other: common knowledge was my thought as I watched that referenced flip-through, but I don't know. I recognized a lot of it from own own artistic journey over the past 4 years, and I've read no books from either party). We shall see what unfolds.
I'm so sick of people these days. I'm not taking any sides because 1. I don't have all the facts and 2. It's not my place. I try to support companies/individuals that have values similar to mine. Try is all I can do because I can't know these people well. I don't desire to form unhealthy loyalties to companies/individuals even if they share my values. I'm tired of all the condemnation lately. There are NO perfect, mistake free people! It's not just people calling out wrong actions. They are calling for harm to be done to people and I don't believe any one individual has the right to punish any other individual. Our legal system has things in place to make sure that very thing doesn't happen. Whether it's politicians, youtube beauty people or artists people are going crazy and it just makes me want to distance myself from everyone.
I have never done Inktober but I will now
It's such a shame that this has happened with Inktober. I hadn't heard anything about it! I'm anxious to research it. It's sad it happened at all, but especially now, with the pandemic, and people wanting things to do from home. 😞
On a happier note...I am EXACTLY the same at Dollar Tree! Lol! I don't get a cart because I'm "only getting a couple things"...HA! My arms are so loaded down, other customers ask if they can get me one! Lol!
Also...I thought yesterday was Saturday, and was so excited for Sat Chat...so I got my coffee and muffin, and got on TH-cam...and no Sat Chat! Lol! 😭🤣 I love the chats so much! I wish they were an hour long! Thank you so much for your time and hard work Lindsay! You're such a positive, uplifting person! I am so gracious for all you do! 😊❤🌻
Thanks Marci, on the bright side you get an extra Saturday!
@@thefrugalcrafter Thats true! Hahaha! You're very welcome! ❤
I have those bins and use them to store books for the grand kids and also for paper pads.
TH-cam has ramped up their ad placements. I hope you're getting some money from their heavy-handed ad placement. But, I am a lot more grateful that you removed a lot of them. I also agree with you 100% on the review vs haul.
Hi there Lindsay! Thank you for another super Sat Chat 😃 CONGRATULATIONS on your new adventure with CraftWorld.com - I’m so pleased for you 👍🏼😊 As for the Inktober fiasco ..... the words ‘playground politics’ come to mind. The views from both sides should have been kept private whilst the situation was dealt with. I, for one, will continue to create art every day during October........ I shall call it ‘ArtOber’ lol. Stay safe and stay creative lovely lady xXx
Haha yes! I too wear the 44 year old eyes. My morning vision takes some real time to regulate! lol
and yes, my brother and i do inktober every year. we really look forward to it. but, we may or may not do an alternative prompt list such as Mabs Drawloween .
I had to laugh just as you explained about the ads on here, it went to commercial Bwahahaha! But there were a lot less, so thank you for that!
I could listen to you for hours.
I'm still going to do inktober this year, or TRY to do them all, I never seem to manage to do all 31 days, but, I also believe that this has been handled badly. Going straight to youtube with a video without contacting Jake and allowing him to explain etc. is going to be damaging to BOTH parties here. The full book isn't even out yet, and I don't think we can make a judgement until it is. So many people have been up in arms on both sides here, and even when it is settled, many people will remember the headline but not the result. So it's damaged both artists reputations which is very unfortunate. I will wait until there is more information before I make any judgement because as you say, it could be a mistake or accident no one knows right now!!! And as to Dollar Tree, I am the same, I go in for 1 or 2 things and come out with $30 or $40 worth of stuff..... usually when they have new craft stuff in!!!!
Alphonso is a great artist and I can understand about your work is yours. However the wheel is continuously rolling the same path in a different story. Every watercolor book I have has something written about color theory. How many times can you change it? If everyone is teaching the same thing how do you change it up?
You explained it wonderfully last year doing your hands. I personally am just not into the ink. Now I'll use it with watercolor but I have a hard time sticking with a consistent schedule.
I Love Sat Chat!!! ❤❤❤
Congratulations Lindsay
Well, it might not be popular but, I'm going to do "Inktober" because I had decided Months ago that I was going to. Not because of whoever started it, but because I wanted the challenge of it, and because I wasn't able to participate last year because I didn't hear about it until it was almost over. I was going to buy the journal that Lindsay refered to from Viviva because I thought they were really neat and would hopefully keep me focused on the goal; even though the website says they are selling them, when I click the link, the page goes blank. 😝 So, I guess I'll have to make my own. Whatever. More crafty fun to be had for me!
So, participate or don't. It doesn't matter what's going on between those two artists out there somewhere, and it's Not Going To Effect Them whether you do or not. What MATTERS is that I make myself a better artist by challenging myself to DO BETTER, and More art.
If You don't want to do it in October, or use the prompts, don't. It doesn't matter to me. You do You, boo. That is all that Truely matters. All that pointing fingers, he said, he did - that's so grade school, and I'm WAY Too old for that nonsense. 😐
Good point!
Funny thing…I took a vacation day yesterday (Friday). Got up in the morning grabbed my coffee and YT surfed a bit waiting for Sat Chat. And I waited. And waited. And wondered ‘oh goodness what happened to Lindsay?!’ At some point I realized it was only FRIDAY and got on with my day! Sheesh. I never know what day it is anymore. Throw in an extra day off and it gets REALLY confusing! I do agree maybe the way the drama is unfolding between two artists is disheartening.
flychk1229 😂 😂 😂 im the same!! Then my dogs remind me what day it is
Firstly, congratulations with your new position at Craftworld!! I will definitely check it out. It's cool that so many magazine staff are involved in that. Crafty magazines are big here, and a big publisher recently decided to stop producing some very popular crafting titles, so the crafty community here is feeling the loss of that.
Yeah the time difference is fun...not lol. I'm from your neck of the woods but live in Scotland, so getting timing right for phone calls can be a bear. Teaching a class to start at 7 am? Beyond my early morning capabilities lol.
I appreciate that you wait until you use a product at least a few times before you review it. I trust your opinion and advice. I had gotten the Paul Ruben metallic watercolor set after your review. I considered it for a couple of months, and re-watched yours as well as a few other reviews on it, and am glad I waited to get something that I was confident that I'd be happy with. Being so new to watercolor, I need advice to ensure what I spend my budget on is going to make me happy and give me the results I want.
Yeah, I too wish the whole book plagiarizing scandal was handled privately. Now it's snowballed to Inktober and the vipers will be out and about with the venom ready in the art communities. I hope that wasn't the result wanted by Alphonso Dunn...because in today's climate with everyone fighting over everything, that's exactly what was going to happen. Now some people in the art community on both sides are turning insanely mean to each other, and the bullying and b.s. is ruining what was a great art challenge where people did amazing art and met amazing goals. And art - which is supposed to be an escape from all that. Effing ridiculous.
Thank you so much for addressing the ad additions TH-cam recently started. You are the only channel owner that I've seen so far who has even addressed it on video, let alone done something about it.
I have rose absolute on unglazed ceramic sticks (designed to spray perfume on and use it to scent a room - they last a good while and you dishwasher them to change the smells and dry them somewhere warm for a day or two - I just add a few drops every few weeks) in my office at work - rose is my favourite smell but real Damask rose or genuine rosewater or absolute and not so much the cheaper rose oils that smell like fake rose smell - hate that smell. That said, I ABSOLUTELY love autumn candle smells - pumpkin spice, cinnamon anything, apple pie, toffee apple etc - I have a whole load at home - and same as they run towards December with the “Christmas” smells. I’ve ordered 1kg (2lb) of each Red Apple, Green Apple and Hot Cinnamon flavoured Jelly Belly jellybeans for my desk at work as I just love that fake apple pie flavour when you eat them all at once! Same autumn smell thing.
P.S.....Would love to see your fall mantle, your eyeshadow looks so pretty and I love your Sat chats! :-)
Congratulations on this new position! ❤️💐
Thanks for bringing up the whole Alfonso Dunn/Jake Parker thing. I just saw Dunns video yesterday, and I am really appalled that he went public using the word plagiarism without contacting Parker first. I know some
people have an opinion about Parker having an attitude, but still, to publicly accuse him like that without contacting him first, was a kind of back stabbing kind of thing to do. I know enough about book publishing to get Make didn't do the page layouts himself. I used to do this exact kind of work myself, for several book publishers, and only a couple of times, in my 35 years of doing freelance typesetting production, did I ever personally interact with an author. There are probably only a half dozen ways to arrange this content on a page, and the publishing company probably have Parker a couple of choices of layouts to approve, and he signed off on one, possibly innocently, not knowing it so closely resembling Dunns book. Anyway, I think doing this so publicly without even trying to contact Parker, was a really thoughtless way to do it.
I have tried (and failed) many times to do Inktober. I have never managed to do more than about 6 days of the month. But this year, I decided to plan ahead somewhat. I am on Jake's email list, and got the prompts early, and made a few pencil sketches and notes to myself about ideas of what I might draw for some of the days. I have recently started to draw or paint almost daily, so I think I might be able to succeed this year. This whole controversy thing this year has been ugly and cast a shadow over the whole thing, but I am going to try to ignore it and press ahead, making it a personal challenge just to myself, which is what it should be anyway, and hope those two work this out. Things are so ugly in the world now anyway, without dragging the art world into it too. Giving Jake the benefit of presumed innocence, I find it difficult to believe he would risk his reputation and do this on purpose.
Sorry, didn't mean to go on about this. Also wanted to say how dangerous dollar stores can be. I have gone in for a couple of things and spent $30 easily, on many occasions. I try to avoid shopping in them without at least a list, which usually doesn't stop me anyway, because in my mind, I hear the voice saying, it's only another dollar, and then, kaboom, my basket is full!
Thanks for another great SatChat!
I love your scarves, and your hand thing, and you are never to old stickers! I think the inktober thing is probably/hopefully a mistake, and like you said - I can't see either party doing something like that on purpose. Unfortunately, because it was put in a public arena before being attempted to be resolved privately it has polarized people - something that we really can not afford at the moment. The art community is one of peoples safe bastions in this difficult pandemic time, I think we might need to go back to mindfully protecting it, peace is is so fragile.
I love your chats!!
I thought our prescriptions were expensive...it is £9.95 per item. I guess we should enjoy our NHS whilst we can! I'm always shocked at US medical costs, it blows my mind. Hope your daughter is ok. Love these chats, I learn so much.
Yes, those ear drops worked wonders! Thanks:)
I've never seen your mantel videos. I'd love to see it!
