Hit Random and Win Win Situations!

What do Bjork and I have in common besides being tiny? (she's 5' 4")

We're both all magazine worthy thats what! I'm sure anyone that reads this blog is on my facebook page so I won't get all Miss USA on ya.
But the big news yesterday was that I AM IN! In the Origin Magazines September issue that is...and not ME but my ART which is super exciting to an artist...to have your work seen outside of your city? It's a great feeling! Origin Magazine is a national Art+Conscious Lifestyle magazine that is sold at Whole Foods all over the nation. 
The World of Traceable Ghosts
This is the piece that won us into the magazine! I'm super psyched to see it PRINTED in beautiful color! The official announcement goes out today but I was notified yesterday and wanted to share the good news. I could not have done it without EVERY single one of you that voted, shared,campaigned and supported me. I felt like I was annoying every one and I probably was (sorry!) but I had to do everything in my power to try and try hard. As an artist with NO GALLERY REPRESENTATION it is really hard to open doors and sometimes you just have to knock, knock, knock, peek in windows and do some kicking. No one else is going to do that for me. Unfortunately artists have to be their own "salespeople" sometimes and it's not always the way we prefer to be....but necessary to survival.
But I digress, winning is more fun with others....
After the contest was pretty much over I declared a little contest of my own to thank the people who voted for me. Every single one of you is AWESOME! I declared a random number drawing of two people (Ive made it 3 cause I like that number) from the votes. The winners will be getting a SIGNED PRINT of this painting. I'm getting it professionally shot next week and can print soon after. The winners will receive the prints by July 31st. And without further ado....the winners....
(random number generator from random.org  by clicking the LIKES on my piece I was seeing a list of everyone who clicked by patiently counting from top to bottom that was everyones assigned number spot)
NUMBER 41..........Keith Renard
NUMBER 231..........Walt Brown
NUMBER 7..........April Dixon Tardy
I wish I could give signed prints to all 238 of you! I do keep a thoughtful list in my brain and the people who were really gunning, reposting, sharing and rallying will most likely be getting something special as well. I can't thank everyone ENOUGH! I feel so blessed and full of gratitude for my friends, family and support network. YOU WON THIS! I am thankful for YOU!
*special thanks to Jennifer Berger for breaking the news to Oak Cliff that their little native is going National! Check the SCOOP!

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...

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...

Ride Your Ride Your Ride

my bike Tuco, named after the Ugly One in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Lifes little surprises never cease to amaze me. I'm not exactly sure how to tell this story but I will try. A few weeks ago my Mom says she was digging around in an old dresser and found this little funny package. The package was flat and made from beer boxes, cut and taped together and a little over 12" x 12" big. On it was my Dads handwriting stating what was inside. RECORDS! And not just any records but records I had wondered what had happened to because I knew my Dad really liked them....FATS DOMINO! He had taken care and written the names of the records for safe keeping. Now they are mine to cherish.  It was like a little gift from the other side...which sometimes doesn't feel very far away. In fact most days it feels like my Dad is still right here with me. With Fathers Day happening this weekend he has been on my mind more than usual.  So yesterday I was a little surprised to ge...
