I can do what I do because of YOU

Paint fest up in here, up in here....

I just primered two records in beautiful banner red and am waiting for them to dry 10 minutes before I bring them in. It's too easy to stink up your whole house with Krylon if you bring the stuff in too early. I decided I had a few minutes to kill so I wanted to blast off a quick gratitude blog.
The mailman just came, he dropped my graphic design check in my mailbox and tapped on the door and hurried away. There was a package and in it a small canvas and some cash. A new little project! I am to paint on this canvas for someone and they paid before the job was even done. AWESOME! I can't say who because it's for a gift. Secrets.
I also got an order to paint a record of a sweet doggie, my first doggie! Was also Paypalled up front. Add that to the punk rock record I completed and was Paypalled up front for and I am liking my little business right now. This wipes away some of the bad experiences I have had recently where people asked me to do work and then zipped away without paying. UGH!
The last two months have been fruitful, graphic design jobs, people buying Bowie art, prints, small pieces, hour swaps and requesting new records and paintings and a surprise DJ gig that paid well. I can only say that I can do what I do because of YOU. If you have thought of me when you decided you wanted some art, a gift for a friend, a dj for your party or club...if you have passed my name on to a friend, showed them my work and given me a good recommendation...THANK YOU! I am only able to do the good work of painting for a living right now because all of you make it possible.
Grateful. Thank you.
(Not high on Krylon fumes man, I promise!)

    It's because YOU rock, your art is fun, affordable, well executed, original, and dammit, it makes me happy!

It's the little things...

I will eventually get back to posting about art 😂 but I lost my first pound with just 3 days of dedicating myself to Metabolic Renewal...and this is me playing fast and loose because A. I did not buy their shakes I'm doing my own. So I don't really know their caloric/nutrition value vs mine. B. Getting 10,000 steps a day on my pedometer.... doesn't happen. That's almost two hours of walking a day. I get 8,000 or 9,000 before the Texas heat or work calls it off. C. Haven't followed any of the meal recipes. I've been winging it with good sense. I will get closer to their instructions in time ( like maybe next week) since I paid for it. My body is SORE AF. It's totally getting put through the paces and I'm lucky there are modifications for pudgy newbies like me. But 1st lb down is a good feeling because seeing the scale move down is what I'm after. I'm pretty proud of myself for yesterday in general..did my workout, a walking session THEN WENT ...

The New Way

Had a wonderful time at the Artists Showcase and Home Tour on Thursday. It was a great reminder of the new "Im worth it" path I've taken. I really feel like the artists were well taken care of and promoted and enjoyed the event very much. Here was my little curated space: All the artists got their own little spaces to create and show in this AMAZING house. I had lots of great windows and light in my space. Even though my endometriosis pains were popping in intermittently- I stood and smiled and chatted with visitors and fellow artists. These three were my largest pieces there and looked great on the spacious walls.   These look great together- I hope whoever eventually buys them is able to get both of them. Its a fun horizontal/vertical juxtaposition. The food was IMPECCABLE...the cake makers made these elegant cakeballs in various flavors and used each of the artists works to decorate the tops. I have arrived! My art is edible! Ther...

One thing leads to another

Sometimes it just takes one little action to get things rolling in the right direction. For me the action was ordering a giant roll of bubble wrap I didn't even have space for and when it arrived I had to figure out where it would live because my cats were already trying to hug it with their teeth and sharp little claws.  Also, why bubble wrap? What for?  I'm a big believer in taking some sort of action, big or small to make yourself move in a certain direction. I also believe in productive manifesting and the bubble wrap symbolized shipping. Shipping art out. Shipping lots of art out. Shipping out so much art I was justified in living with a big roll of bubble wrap for awhile!  So step one: order the bubble wrap and step two was the fun task of... Making a place for it to live. So manifesting was already happening and I decided I needed a designated area for shipping supplies and hell.. My printer needed a proper home too. I had a very messy shelf with an old printer on ...
