My birthday gift to myself is cancelling this sale. I’m sorry. If you were genuinely interested in getting some art from me, please DM me anyway!
While my specific job isn’t clinical, my 9-5 job is with a company providing frontline services to several critical buildings across the country right now, predominantly healthcare facilities. Every day is more stressful and draining for me.
I dreamed up the idea of having a birthday insta sale when I was in the naive frame of mind that “self isolation” meant hanging out at home and doing fun projects.
I now recognize that I can’t divvy up my time and mental energy like that.
Instant Niagara was and is a part-time stress relief and creative outlet for me and I promised myself that as soon as it became stressful and stopped being fun that I would step back and evaluate what I was doing and make changes.
…Which resulted in the cancellation of the sale.
Youre still welcome to book a portrait session or buy a shirt or photo, hell I’ll even honour the prices I was advertising. But I just don’t have it in me to dedicate my day to lugging out all my inventory and making a ton of Instagram stories.
My birthday gift to myself is spending the day with the perfect and incredible @joegottli and our beautiful son Mike.
Again, I’m sorry if you were looking forward to it but I also am not going to pretend that in the current climate buying cheap polaroids was anyone’s reason for getting out of bed!
You’re all wonderful.
