Swimsuit Edition!

Welcome June! Welcome Summer! I see you tearing through my curtains with your fiery orange beams, trying to get me into my bikini and to the pool. This seemed a fairly innocent way to get people to read my blog....posting a sexy Brigitte Bardot in a bikini and entitling it "swimsuit edition". Got you here didn't it? Tsk Tsk you naughty readers! :)

Just wrapped up an art opening at RISING GALLERY on Friday and was so pleased to meet some new people and reconnect with some friends I hadn't seen in awhile. All the art was fantastic and it was nice to see the work in person. Every one of the Project 7 x 7 collaborations were auctioned off and went to new homes while raising money for Alley's House. I got excellent feedback on my work and newest pieces.

I also learned that if the Flaming Lips are in town almost 90% of your friends will probably be there. Remind me to not die and have a funeral while those dudes are in town. Wow! I am impressed with their rulership! I met a new friend who brought me a whole carload of vinyl records to paint on! Woohoo! I AM STOCKED!
My wonderful friend James Garrett  (Artbot 138) showed up and bid and won two pieces! Way to go art collector! I was then able to go see his collection the next day, he has the most impressive collection of R2D2's in all the land. Seriously. He also owns a couple of my pieces and I got to wave hi to them too
I was feeling a bit under the weather by Saturday evening, maybe just too much work, running around trying to get everything ready, working out hardcore and throwing stuff like bubblegum root beer and chocolate shakes in my tank. :-/  My body had a major meltdown and I could barely move with exhaustion and feverishness. Today I am feeling much better and have stocked up on whole foods, veggies, fruits and such.
Furries at AKON
I still need to upload the few photos I took at AKON- I was wanting to spend more time there this weekend but wasn't feeling so hot. I did manage to take an amazing photo of these guys though. And because you probably came here looking for swimsuits and possible little droids, I present you with a most awesome swimsuit:
Was I lying? WOW!
I unfortunately broke the bikini top on my bikini last year. (Don't ask, don't worry no kids got to see my buoys at the pool thank goodness!) So I'm now on the hunt for a new one. I have a nice retro bikini but it's not really for swimming in so much as it's a vintage poly material that is hot (sweaty not sexy). Looks great BY the pool and at fun Luaus though
ALOHA! See there was bikini payoff in the end! Have a fantastic start to the summer, SPF it up! I'll bring back more arty fun with my sunburn tomorrow!

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...
