out there having fun in the warm non- California sun!

When I was working I would look outside longingly at the pretty sun and wish I was outside instead. Yesterday I decided I should take full advantage of this time not being somewhere everyday and do just that. I threw my yoga mat in the backyard, sprayed OFF on myself and SPF and....sunbathed. Hell yes. Lying in the sun, listening to the birds, watching little dandelion seeds float by. Taking a little time to just BE right there in the moment. The sun is a great kisser by the way.
Today I wake up sore from PiYo class - just like I knew I would. It's a good pain, the pain of muscles coming back to life again. We did tons of planks, downward dogs, ab work and balance exercises all with weights. My shoulders and arms got the worst of it. I'm hooked. We ended the class with relaxing music, deep slow breathing and stretches to massage our backs. It is the perfect way to start the day and just what I needed to jumpstart my self again.
Today there is the rumor that I'm finally getting interviewed for the Project 7 x 7 show, I'll clean my studio....again....it does need it. We shall see though if it happens.
Cleaning and painting today and getting some art culled together for a deadline. And I won't lie...more sunbathing STAT!

Words!

Hello! I haven't blogged since last year. Even writing the word "blog" felt foreign and weird! I have actually been writing stuff on my Patreon account so if you've missed the updates you can sign up for free over there. There is also an option to pay a few dollars a month to help support me as an artist and get "extra" content- in case you are of that mindset and either way- thank you for caring about the art adventures. I have missed blogging actually. I guess I like to make words, string them together like a pretty necklace and let them live their own expressive life wrapped around me. Times are different. Times are weird! But I guess you know that. And also times are the same and as old as time. Is it really more terrible than any other time or are we humans just more "connected" to the propaganda and daily bad trip in a way that is insane and unhealthy? Either way I do my best to keep my sanity and I don't believe about 98% of what I s...

It's the little things...

I will eventually get back to posting about art 😂 but I lost my first pound with just 3 days of dedicating myself to Metabolic Renewal...and this is me playing fast and loose because A. I did not buy their shakes I'm doing my own. So I don't really know their caloric/nutrition value vs mine. B. Getting 10,000 steps a day on my pedometer.... doesn't happen. That's almost two hours of walking a day. I get 8,000 or 9,000 before the Texas heat or work calls it off. C. Haven't followed any of the meal recipes. I've been winging it with good sense. I will get closer to their instructions in time ( like maybe next week) since I paid for it. My body is SORE AF. It's totally getting put through the paces and I'm lucky there are modifications for pudgy newbies like me. But 1st lb down is a good feeling because seeing the scale move down is what I'm after. I'm pretty proud of myself for yesterday in general..did my workout, a walking session THEN WENT ...

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...
