Read it and Reap


Only those who read this blog will reap the benefits of what I'm about to say here...

As you all know I've been hustling and bustling to get ready for the Sacred David Bowie Art Show that's happening this Saturday. I won't lie and will fess up that I procrastinated a whole month before starting my pieces which led to me finishing them on the ACTUAL DROP DATE! Sometimes I roll like that. Sometimes I need pressure to push me. Under Pressure....doo doo doo dee da dooo dooo...da doo doo doo dee dah doo doo. Sorry. Anyway....as a result I had to turn in my pricing list BEFORE the pieces were even created. This led to three things....
1. I underpriced my light up Bowie piece I worked so hard on and threatened my very sanity
2. I overpriced my other two painted vinyls.
and last but not least....
3. If you read this blog and come up to the show on Saturday wanting either one of the above pieces and say the code word "Aladdin Sane" I will sell them to you for $65 as opposed to the $80 label price. Yep. Yep I will. If you don't read this and want one of the pieces then you'll never know you could have saved yourself some money to go eat at Taco Cabana or buy a martini or whatever.
Today I'm going to figure out my little SQUARE app thingie I got so if you want to pay with your high tech credit card you should be able to. ALSO* If you want a Bowie record in a similar fashion- message me and I can make one for you. You can even tell me what colors you want the background, etc. This is what I'm doing for a living right now so feel free to message me and we'll work within your budget. OK, hopefully see some of you on Saturday! I got a sneak peek at some rad artwork for the show yesterday and the night promises to be really fun!

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...
