set up devise users, created new branch with .env file containing Stripe API keys
ran db:migrate to proceed w/ Devise setup
Added tables for Items, Artists, and Articles
Added Artist seeds
Added models for Article, Item, and Artist
fixed some bullshit goin on in them there seed file and added artist_id to articles.
fixed errors from seeds and tables. next step is to change "bio" colums to register as TEXT versus as a STRING to resolve truncation conflict
the seedmen cometh? --migration conflicts resolved; may now seed Artists into database without issues
