Who Wants Yesterdays paper? Who Wants Yesterdays Girl?


Harajuku Sweets- new vinyl record pieces for.....
A dear friend of mine has taken a cue from the Universe and leaped out of her day job to do a scary thing. Work for herself! YOU GO GIRL! As someone who has done just that I know what those scary moments feel like and I know how high the really good moments feel too. Believe me, the HIGH outweighs the BAD. She is now doing what she loves- she's a manicurist specializing in non toxic products and she is working in a little salon called Sweet 200 in Oak Cliff- doing what she loves. Her name is Lydia Johns and I want to see her succeed! Don't you? Here is a link to her facebook page where you can see all her happy customers! The little vinyls posted above are a new little series I'm working on with her fun arty nails in mind! I was inspired by the nail art she is always posting and also by HARAJUKU....what is HARAJUKU you ask? Harajuku is a large fashion capital of the world in Japan, known for it's edgy street fashion and wildly dressed youth. Look it up on Google and you'll be fascinated by it's freaky fun! Right now these gals are on my wall totem style and it's giving me some ideas for hanging the records in a whole new way. A few more of these Harajuku Sweets and they will soon reside in Lydias salon where you can get inspired to get a mani and pedi in a style a little off the wall perhaps?
Support the little dreamers that make the world a better place. When you find your happy work you spread that happiness to others. Yep it's true!
(If you like the Harajuku Sweets and want one of your own hit up my facebook page and send me a message, these are $48 and each one is unique)

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...
