Cat scratch fever and why did the animal cross the road?

Spend any inordinate amount of time on facebook and you'll see a lot of this....only it's in printed format on a computer screen. I wonder if this would be so prevalent in person with face to face confrontations?

I had this picture up as my profile picture for awhile because I really identify with that little guy who doesn't want to hang in that herd back there and is going to cross the street and do his own thing. Maybe hitchhike or go eat daisies in someones garden. Either way he is not down with a big group, clique, herd... and has his own thoughts about what suits him. I have never had good experiences with large groups that all think the same thing and think you should too. 
And when I log onto facebook first thing in the morning with my cup of coffee in hand I liken it to opening my front door to see how the day is, whats the weather, how are my friends? If I get run over immediately by a big ol' POLITICAL turd post (umm, repeatedly) I block you from my newsfeed. How about a good morning? You repeat political posters DO KNOW your "hobby" is posting on facebook to people who already subscribe to your idealogy or don't, right?  And the ones who don't... AREN'T going to be swayed. So the point is? Get a journal. Get a garden. Have something to show at the end of the day for your labors...a new tomato plant or a lasagna you baked. You probably like the fun of fighting so maybe a ROCK EM SOCK EM ROBOT set would be something to put on your list to Santa (PLEASE!!!).
 Just a thought!
On the flipside of that I can just not log in first thing in the A.M to become nauseated  before I've even had my Wheaties.

    I had an epiphany last night: Facebook is like dealing with EVERYONE you know....EVERY SINGLE DAY! While that's desirable with some people...others, not so much. :)

    I've de-herded myself a lot lately. In some respects....it feels good.

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...

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...

The calm during the storm

Fist Pumps! Cool rainy weather has hit Dallas. Just in time for the opening of the State Fair of Texas and Oktoberfest...which I just happened to be at yesterday by happenstance. Oktoberfest that is, not the Fair. No, I did not have any bier. I did have a fun time walking around between biergartens and weiner dog races in the rain with good company though! I had to drop off my piece "FLOURISH" to a place in McKinney Tx called ORISONS who will be having a gallery walk in a few weeks. There were a lot of people down there for the festivities so they wanted the work to show off to all the traffic. It's been quite a week(end) and I just wanted to pop off a blog to say thanks to everyone who has been supporting by coming to the shows and making purchases and just high fiving me on facebook, etc. THANKS SO MUCH! I've been working my tail off in the studio- that's the part you don't see...but hopefully you can see it in my work when it's done. All the t...
