Chop Chop Back To Work!

"The World of Traceable Ghosts"

I was a bad little freelancer and took the weekend off....sorta. I did WORK Sunday night doing a DJ gig to make a little scratch so I don't feel TOO guilty. The weekend was fun and full of friends but today it's back on the pony and off to work.

Supposedly my work (featured in photo up there) is on magazine stands now but I have yet to secure a copy of ORIGIN MAGAZINE to check out the little feature. Maybe today if there is time I will go a huntin'! It should be at WHOLE FOODS, BARNES AND NOBLE and perhaps CENTRAL MARKET. I'm super excited to see it!

For my birthday I got a ton of cool little buttons from ARTBOT 138. He pressed up some from my record art and paintings so you can have a little mini detail of my work to wear! How cool is that? I'll have to divvy them up into little sets and create a price. I was pleased to see the new Bowie record piece I painted made into a button!

I also had two wonderful things happen on my birthday...an ETSY sale and an EBAY sale! Woohoo! I was particularly excited by the EBAY sale because I was having NO luck getting my stuff seen on there and had relisted about four times before it was bought. That's just a reminder, keep putting your fishing pole in the water you will catch fish eventually.

The deadline to have all my stuff ready for Wine Therapist is on Sept 17 so I am officially in hustle mode. I have to finish two commissions before I can get back to my work so BUSY BUSY BUSY in the BEEHIVE! Picking up my work from Latino Cultural Center so all my babies will be home again for awhile, AWWWW! I had nothing but good feedback from the show and was honored to be included. OK, time to get stuff packed and shipped and cleaned and painted. Have a great return to work everyone!

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...
