Covid-19 Lockdown plan

A change in exit plan due to covid-19:
With 'more time' on our hands, my focusses are slightly different considering I like many people don't have either of my jobs to fall back on now :(

-Start a BAME Collective????
- Apply to this online graduate gallery space by Light Grey Art Lab.
- Schoolism & Skillshare will be my saviours- learnt to background paint traditionally to properly understand colour??
- Working on portfolio
- Working on personal projects: series of diversity focussed illustrations
- Start animating again for fun!
- Learning Maya properly if my laptop can take it
-Do more commissions, more freelance work
- See where other crafts take me (embroidery, tapestry etc!)
- Staying in the animation loop e.g. studio news or podcasts like Cartoon Saloon https://www.cartoonsaloon.ie/podcasts/

Shop:
Starting to sell my work -really promoting that
I have a shop in mind, but want to spend more time working on branding when uni is done, plus it'll keep me sane during all this madness.
For now I think the shop will focus on
- a series of illustrations which I want to make into a zine (one focussed on mental health that I've wanted to do for ages)
- prints of my work, illustrations
- small lino prints

I've looked into some printing places etc, it's not with the intention of being anything great, just something fun on the side.
