    I’ve done no music at all this year. Nothing. Not inclined. Same with painting. Done two watercolours, from photos (not ideal, usually I’m out there “En plein air painting”, that’s where the energy is). No painting, no music, no lyrics, no creative stuff at all. Not now. Maybe later.

    I found it quite difficult to get going with creative stuff earlier on. Even though work was dead and I had more time to paint and make music, the creative urge just wasn't there. Like you I normally paint from life, but that's not an option.

    My focus since has been on improving my 'social' network presence - Instagram, Facebook etc., and keeping an eye on what others are doing. That's inspired me to knuckle down and get work done so I can put up (fairly) regular posts of new work, build followers, and hopefully start selling. Some of the artists on Instagram for example are very, very good, and have inspired me to up my game.

    Artists are on Instagram eh? I didn’t realise that. I thought it was just for making square Polaroid effects of your iPhone photos. I must look into it more.

  • Im still working from home, hoping they call us back to the office as late as possible, was fortunate to escape the big city when this started and have been enjoying life on a beautiful Adriatic island for more than a month. The beach is right outside the house, the air is clean, the local supermarket does deliveries, apps are on sale, I don’t want to go back :(

    I'd always thought the same, but it's a big thing on there now - along with holiday snaps and pictures of food. A lot of artists are making good sales on there. Some really good work, I find it really inspiring.

  • I’ve worked from home for years, so no changes there. My first weeks were still way more creative though — I finished a lot of half-arranged songs and put them on SoundCloud.

    A week or so back, I got laid off, thanks to falling ad revenue on the site I write for. So my creative urges have been a bit stunted while I look for new work.

    (Feel free to pass on any tech/music/science/sustainability writing gigs :) )

  • Working from home for years too, so not much different for me lately on that front. The mastering work has been crazy busy while everyone is in lockdown and just working on music now, so happily no financial issues here.

    People are definitely starting to loosen up self quarantining here in Seattle though. We had one of the rainiest winters ever, now that it's getting nice out people are chomping at the bit to get back in the mountains and play.

  • I'm a software developer who moved from Boston to North Carolina last December. Went from feeling cramped renting a floor of a house to living in a somewhat rundown small house with a lot of open space around us. I'm so glad I agreed with my gf to rent this spot instead of another apartment closer to everything..

    I'm the only developer on a grant funded project which is my main task. I was going into the office most days but now I'm remote. I had wanted more time to myself before being a part of society (but took this job quickly as it was perfect) and in some bizarro way Corona has given me that. Even when Corona is no longer a major problem we face, I'll be working remotely more than I was before, hopefully ~2 days a week. Honestly it is much better for my mental health and I'm still productive.

  • Finally got my first work from home gig in Jul. 2019. No interest in working any other way. Working in satellite communications, which has been deemed as essential, so it seems safe. I never want to go through anything like I did from 2013-2017....laid off from my job, unable to find work, pissed away all my savings trying to make an in-home care biz franchise work.

  • I don't even want to talk about it.

    Good stuff. Familiar. In the 80s in London I made a lot of money and spent most of it on a manageable horse habit. The place was booming, we believed it was us. Moved to Manhattan in the 90s and was working for a software company, fashion industry, making a lot of money and spending it all on cake, place was booming, we thought it was us. In Austin these past few years I meet with folks here and there to swap war stories and make bets, watch the skyline growing and folks counting money, place is booming, they're pretty sure it's them.

    Pause.

    I'm so glad you're here!

  • Started working from home per mandatory telework order, then was unceremoniously dumped from the job after my employer lost the contract rebid with the client.

    So not going in to work at the moment. Just interviewed with an employer who said that after the Maryland stay-at-home order expires, I'll be expected to come in for their client but that won't be until mid-May at the earliest.

    I've been more motivated to level up on my jazz studies than look for work, to be honest, though I do have to apply to a minimum number of jobs per week to qualify for state unemployment benefits. Making good progress on learning Charlie Christian's solo on "Benny's Bugle".

  • Any comments on how at home cyber security with their work is being implemented?

    I just run a VPN that our IT guy set up and all is well. All the software licenses, Perforce, network drives etc all work fine.

    Thanks, guys for your comments. This is really interesting. I kind of feel the world has slowed, at least for a moment, to the tempo I now do enjoy. I had a commercial illustration business repping illustrators worldwide from my office on Fifth Avenue in NYC from 1980-2000.

    I’ve thought about those artists who survived the transition to computers and stock illustration. Both death blows to an incredible art form that drew a special type of artist. Where the fuck is advertising now, I wonder. Print advertising was certainly on the wane and spending a month on a piece of art for a Silicon Valley giant for up to five figures... now, more than ever, gone with the wind. Glad I could spend twenty years in the bustle of Manhattan, helping creative people and myself make a buck.
    Now you can just get the Google art guy to know I off your image in a day... or better yet, pay a few hundred for a used piece of art. Times change. My generation thought they owned NYC thirty years ago. Every gen thinks the same. We don’t realize we are just visitors in the great cities of the world.

    And now... even cities will be questioned and redefined. All with hidden and unexpected benefits, I am thinking. Like more time not spent commuting.

    High end illustration is the bomb from a marketing perspective today for many companies. It cuts through the stock photography crutch most companies rely on and is very difficult for competitors to copy, especially when done right. I think it’s super interesting you were in that business, almost during a golden age.

    Your comment about how every generation thinks they own it, until the next generation comes nipping at their heals is really interesting and something I think about a lot these days. Maybe I have confirmation bias but it’s also in the news a lot. Check out these very recent articles if you want to see it in action across industries.

  • @robertreynolds, I guess the real heyday was before photography with guys like Maxfield Parrish. You could live in a mansion if you were at the top back then. It is an illustrious history. I guess the most well known name is Norman Rockwell. But if you were in the profession there were many heroes to marvel at. The repping profession, however, was less than ideal. Mostly self serving cads who borrowed their artists’ abilities and heaped the rewards upon themselves. “My stable of artists’ was the most cringeworthy and telling phrase an agent could odiously mouth. Mouthe? As an artist myself I felt privileged to be associated with top talent and tried never to forget that I worked for them. Guys like Michael Schwab, Robert Rodriguez, Guy Billout and Bart Forbes. So many styles of excellence. And they could endure the client’s bs and meet deadlines. Not many artists can do that successfully.

    I’ll look at the links you posted. Thanks!

  • The mentions of both the advertising industry and generational change made me think about Mad Men. What a show. If I wasn't so busy with iOS music stuff, that would make a great binge (re)watch during these coronavirus months.

    I teach IELTS (the UK equivalent of TOEFL) in China, and that market has fallen through the floor due to the overly slow responses of most western countries. Very few Chinese students will go abroad to study this year. I am temporarily on a zero hours contract and have almost no work. Luckily I have savings (though app buying as a distraction from all this has been making a dent in them, lol) and I am enjoying having time to learn how to do the iOS music schtick, so I'm pretty happy. I meet up with friends but we go to quiet places or eat outside, go for walks, things like that. Some clubs and bars etc are open now, personally I prefer to avoid packed places for now.

    In most cities in China now, life is already pretty much back to normal - people are going to shops and restaurants, there seems to be little evidence of social distancing, but not all schools are open yet and almost everyone is wearing masks when out (that is not compulsory but most people continue to do it).

    But if things continue like this for another month or two I'm going to have to think about some major, major life changes. Racism against foreigners is also on the rise here, though much better than what Asians in Europe or the States have had to put up with these past few months. I fear very dark times ahead..

    For some reason this really struck me. Hang in there please. I’m hoping for the best for you.

  • Old enough to retire; too poor to quit, I find myself lucky to be reduced to 3 days work per week. Garden in, yard looks great, I like to be at home, that’s where all my toys are! Daughter will finish H.S. online and hangs out with her friends there but unfortunately lost her part time real world job. So as we two are fine for the moment my wife’s small business she built up over 15 yrs. is closed. She is having a tough time being housebound as she plots her return. I’ve set up a wireless connection in the garage as a refuge !
    I just would like to add I visit this forum almost every day logged or not, follow Doug’s Testroom, subscribe to some of your SoundCloud’s, struggle with the apps and updates. More so now it’s just a wonderful and valuable place as a respite from ongoing calamity outside. Maybe cacophony is more apt term
    Thank you all. God bless, stay safe.

  • Working from home but I'm easily distracted and so I find I'm working longer but less productive hours. So I get on my work computer at 6:30 a.m. via our secure VPN, do some email replies, then go for a 3 mile walk (about an hour), shower etc. and then catch up on anything else outstanding.

    My work computer is just ahead of my home iMac and I have to force myself to turn the iMac off or I'll simply go surfing this site and others for an hour or two. And then that means I didn't get anything done until 10 a.m. and now will be on the computer until 6:30 pm making up for it. It is a constant tug of war, this easy distraction of making music and watching videos and checking in on my various social networks. I'm lucky that I've been doing what I do for 30 years and can do it in my sleep, so it seems like I'm being productive when I'm not really, I'm just fast at it.

    My work is a heavily employment based service industry - health insurance. I'm expecting the proverbial shoe to drop a few months after this starts to smooth out once the finance people realize that the 24M unemployed means less revenue, which means less opportunity for me. So my demise might be a few months later than everyone else un/underemployed. At least we've reigned in our spending and should have enough to tide us over through the employment trough, hopefully.

    UK 12 hours every night (Keyworker) busiest I have ever seen it, busiest roads, busiest shops, busiest parks etc, Lockdown here is a complete nonsense that nobody is taking much notice of.

    Yes. Also in the UK - and feel very let down by people who think the lockdown isn't that important.

    Same in my US city. The few days I’ve gone out for food pickup, it looked like the Saturday before Christmas. I guess everyone’s out spending their free money on tire rims and TVs. Some are masked; many are not. Why do they feel so invincible?
