Hi guys!

I recently took a river cruise on the Danube and had such a great time.  You can see the video here.

Hi,

So I made this to help spread the word about art reposting.  Please feel free to share it to help raise awareness

Hi everyone,

Now I know most people don't always like reading these PSA type of things but I think this is something that needs to be considered.  I got this information from someone who uses Snapchat and there has been an update where Snapchat can share your location with your friends at any time and place, down to the exact street and house or other building.  How do you do this?  By pinching the screen when at the camera.

This can be extremely dangerous because a predator that has added you can use this feature to find you at your exact location.  Your home, your school, your job, anywhere you used Snapchat.  The best way to protect yourself is to go in your settings and select "Ghost Mode" to hide your location.

This doesn't mean you need to delete the app, just be smarter about when you share where you are and if your friends need to find you, haven them call or text.

Please be careful and stay safe!

I'm about to do something that is completely out of my comfort zone. This could very well be a long post and I know most people don't like reading these long posts but bear with me. I have a tendency to internalize a lot things and beat myself up over things I really shouldn't. Why you may ask? I honestly have no clue, it's just something I've done to myself and I know that's bad. I don't always open up about how I really feel at times because I feel like I would be bothering you. This would explain why I may not always text you to chat because I feel like I'm bothering you with things in my life. I'm observant and I listen better than I do talk in my opinion; however, there may be times when I do want to say something but I'm too scared to say anything and I miss my chance or let someone else say something. I hate doing this...I hate that I'm even writing this right now because this is what you want to read about right? My personal problems and insecurities. I probably sound like some sort of victim who's just trying to get attention and trying to throw a pity party. Trust me, I am not a fan of that kind of mentality so you probably may think, then why are you doing this anyway? Because I've been internalizing this for my entire life. Only a small, very small amount of people know that this is going on with me and you know why? Because I don't tell you. I don't want to bother you with my problems. But I know that the longer I keep this to myself, the more damaging it is. So I'm laying it out here. I'm not asking you for anything or to do anything, just listening to me is enough. Whatever course of action you decide to take is up to you. Have a good night.

Reposting

Hello everyone!

I am working on a video to address a subject that a lot of artists deal with and that is people reposting their art. I would like to present this as a PSA type of thing and make those aware of what they are really doing when they repost or steal someone else's work. What I would like to hear is feedback from those who have experienced someone taking their art and posting it without their permission and a brief rundown on what happened when the reposter was confronted. What was their excuse? Where they repentant or did they get all defensive?

Also would like to know what you would like to see from someone who wants to share your art with others. Like they have to have permission, they need to send people to the original art and artist and explain why reposting your art is negatively affect you.

Yes these seem like common sense types of things but most people don't practice that and some just don't realize what they are doing until they get called out on it and still might not understand it.  I want to help explain that and the more examples I have to go on the better it will be.

If you or you know an artist that has experienced this at any time, please share your story with me and if I have your permission to use it in the video.  How much you share is up to you, just so I can get the general idea of what happened.

Thank you so much for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.
