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!)

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...
