OUCH

I had every intention  of painting all day and possibly finishing this thing until....

The Pain Monster grabbed me by the gut and ripped his rusty claws into my abdomen and twisted and....ok, it sounds dramatic but it really is the most accurate description of what it feels like when my Pain flares up...it's either that or rusty machete stabbing me to death pain. IN either case I seriously contemplate the ER as I lie in a ball of agony whimpering.
It's like that. No one understands it, let alone me. So today I'm calling up my doc to see if I can't blow ALL of my money on stupid tests to see whats wrong with me. Meh. Part of life. Inevitably doctors get ALL your money in the end.
So....I had just taken all my paints, brushes, canvas and chairs outside to paint happily. I got through ONE MOUSE and had to stop and go lie in bed for the rest of the day. But nevertheless...one mouse closer to being done I guess. :/
squeak! eek!
It's kind of fitting I am in such pain with my cysts or whatever...since that was what launched my art in this direction in the first place. Do I sound like a dramatic tortured artist yet?
I took pics with my real camera outside so you could get a better idea on the colors and brightness of this piece. It's close to being done, maybe another days worth of work if I can get that in.
Crossing fingers I can get through a day of work without pain. Its my last week at work and I need every penny if Im going to see my doctor.
Have a good Monday everyone, enjoy the pain free moments fully!

So what's the Scenario?

Street Artist 'My Dog Sighs' Paints Faces on Cans Found Littered on the Street I found this interesting art on Pinterest and thought it would be a good example for a proposed scenario.....indulge me if you will.... The scenario is this....this street artist paints on cans. Pretty cool right? Pretty neat! He's probably not the only one who paints on cans in the world but he most likely is the only one in his little neck of the woods and art circle. Ok, let's pretend I invite this CAN painter to be in this big group show we do annually at my gallery. (This is pretend land, I dont have a gallery but roll with me...)  Ok, he is a hit, everyone thinks his can faces are awesome and he's considered pretty unique for doing this medium in our little art circle. Ok fast forward into the future....it's a year later and it's time for our big annual show...here's the scenario....we don't invite the CAN artist to come show again BUT we do hand out a can ...

The Age of Upgrade

BIG BATCH OF HAND PAINTED WAX FOR SAN FRANCISCO I wanted to do a  blog about the upgrade I'm doing and why. Because I am an artist and not a business person I have been lax on so many things I shouldn't have been and caused myself a lot of headaches. This was a year of growing pains for my business and days before my birthday I decided my new age of 39 would be one of grand changes. For starters...I'm typing this on an old Android phone. It's the only equipment I have. My old Mac finally gave up the ghost and I can no longer do any graphic designing in Photoshop or even save files. This will need to be upgraded, I need a computer. Let's talk about vinyl though...I started doing the vinyl about 6 years ago and they were pretty basic novice attempts at painting on vinyl. After many experiments, failures and tons of practice... I have brought them into their own. They started as $30 discs and climbed as I got better. I marked everything DOWN to $50 this year...

Digital Vacation

  Have you looked around and discovered you have filled your life with bad habits? If you said NO- good for you, you might not be human! 😁  I was experiencing a major BLAH and it was all because of ME. What I spent time on, consumed, did and did not do. I also felt like the willpower I used to have in abundance was gone and I wondered if I would ever get it back.  First and foremost I had to look at my main bad habits. What was the very first thing I did every day. EVERY DAY! I reached for my phone, I social media blitzed my brain over two long cups of coffee every morning. I made sure to look at my MEMORIES like it was my job every day. Ruminating on the past and seeing everyone's angry opinions and celebrity/political posts and regurgitated memes ad nauseum....is actually not a very optimistic and healthy way for me to cruise into the day. Not only is this not good for my spirit it wasted almost two hours of every morning. 💀 That's precious time!  I'm weaning mys...
