Start It Up

"Alles Ist Gerade fein!" meaning All is fine or well.
By the way I named this little guy LITTLE IVAN and he's been my computer pet for about 10 years or so. Im not sure if he's a bunny or a dog or something magical or demonic but I love him.
I tell myself ALL IS FINE today...even though I have no steady income. That only means it's time to produce a steady outcome....of art! Nothing like freelancing to make you lean heavy on your skills and really test your mettle. I am starting a new canvas today and pushing hard to get it done by May 28th- due date for the show at Rising Gallery. So I have 8 days, yikes!
I can do this!
The weekend was full of wedding fun, congrats to my big sister Linda and her new husband Johnny. It was a lovely wedding and I wish them the best :)
This week includes some fun stuff like BASS PLAYING! Im reconnecting with my ol' guitarist from The Shapes and we're going to jam around on our old stringed things we haven't touched in a hot second. I'm looking forward to plucking around and making some sounds just for kicks. Also have a hot date with a dentist to finish my dental work. YAY! :/ It's gonna be a crunchy week, putting fires under my tail and running fast. Hello Monday let's Start It Up!

Shoot for the Stars!

Shoot for the Stars! Latest painted record featuring Han Solo AVAILABLE ($50) Theres a beautiful rain falling this Friday morning, it's a quiet steady and soft rain. The complete opposite of how it started....loud thunder cracking, waking me up from sleepyland and making my computers blink. Now it's just a little drip drip and quietude. Rain makes primering a no go since I primer outside. I am looking for the perfect large box to spray in, this will ease a lot of trouble with tree detritus landing on a barely sprayed record and wreaking havoc. My house was busy yesterday with order drop off and order pickup and then a graphic design job I was waiting to hear about popped up so I'm officially BUSY for the next two weeks at  least. Wrapping up record orders and the graphic work and I'm happy to be busy and working from home. This record featured above is up for grabs until someone grabs it. I won't have time for new vinyl for awhile so get it while it's t...

Addicted

  Well it's official. I am addicted. Luckily to nothing horrible. It was bound to happen. I'm addicted to the morning walk...the endorphins...the serotonin...the "me" time....the solitude....the music pumping in my ears...the nature I see and feeling like I control my day.  I'm usually up before the sun and getting as much mileage as my body allows. Sometimes it's more than others but it's always good. I'm going to add in more sprints here and there as "burst" exercises are better for me than long running sessions.  Yes, even on the weekends I'm out doing it. There is no sleeping in and admittedly I woke up at 2:30am and started having my morning coffee in preparation... Even though I will wait till much later to go out. That's how I know it's an addiction.  Currently on Week 6 and haven't missed a workout or even postponed it. I showed up for myself and made myself a priority every morning. I am proud of that and so much LESS...

Everything in it's place

One of photographer Franks Lopez's vintage cameras Last week was a whirlwind of deadlines, bus trips and fun...all culminating in an art show on Saturday night and two glasses of celebratory wine for all my efforts. I had set a goal for three new vinyl works  to be done in about a week and actually made that happen (actually make that 4!). Normally 3 new vinyl pieces would be nothing for me to do in a week but I had challenged myself to work outside my realm of expertise and delve into the world of LED lights, epoxy, drills, bolts and other fascinating construction. The end result is that I can now push my vinyl creations further - the finished piece was well received! Sales were made and sales are pending and a whole new crowd has been exposed to my work. YAY!  I found myself modeling for local photographer Frank Lopez last week and was thrilled because I like his work very much. He was doing "tintypes" and I got to see the whole process in action as well as ex...
