Delivery Day, Deadlines, Etc

yeah, yeah, yeah.....i'm super busy. what's new?

I have to remember to keep gas in my tank so I can keep on going today. Way too much to do but hopefully FOCUSING will get me to my goals. Yesterdays plans were a bit derailed by an impromptu beauty day. I had signed up to be a hair model at the salon my friend works at and thought I was getting a cut and out the door to work again but it turned out I was lavished with the works! Color and cut AND a manicure by my favoritest manicurist, Lydia Johns! In a nutshell I feel like a brand new girl again, even if I didn't get much done in the painting department.
It happens. And no way am I passing up an opportunity to get spiffy on the cheap/free!
New hair cut and color! Lovely new manicure by Lydia Johns! Color: Charisma by Zoya

Dropped of the Harajuku vinyl art to Lydia and with the completion of ONE more her walls will look pretty sweet! Today is the drop date for the Bowie show. As of right now I have 2 finished and one waiting on the worktable to be painted. Can I do it?! Can I also cram in a graphic design project thats due tomorrow before I have to go trekking today? I'm gonna try to be Wonder Woman!
Turned in my bio and art to ORIGIN magazine today and it's starting to become more of a reality. I'm super excited to see my painting printed! I've been getting lots of great feedback on the new Bowie records and finished bolting and adding hanging attachments to the light up piece last night. Today I set the lights and find it a comfortable way to travel with me. Blah blah blah...all the stuff I'm writing about I should be doing. Like....now.
Have a great day, see you when I land and next week...more art plunging talk to keep you on track!

(Love the idea of a non toxic manicure? A mango scrub for your feet and a very affordable mani/pedi? Please visit Lydia's page and support small business! Plus she's super sweet!)

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...

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...
