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!

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...

Shoot for the Stars!

Shoot for the Stars! Latest painted record featuring Han Solo AVAILABLE ($50) Theres a beautiful rain falling this Friday morning, it's a quiet steady and soft rain. The complete opposite of how it started....loud thunder cracking, waking me up from sleepyland and making my computers blink. Now it's just a little drip drip and quietude. Rain makes primering a no go since I primer outside. I am looking for the perfect large box to spray in, this will ease a lot of trouble with tree detritus landing on a barely sprayed record and wreaking havoc. My house was busy yesterday with order drop off and order pickup and then a graphic design job I was waiting to hear about popped up so I'm officially BUSY for the next two weeks at least. Wrapping up record orders and the graphic work and I'm happy to be busy and working from home. This record featured above is up for grabs until someone grabs it. I won't have time for new vinyl for awhile so get it while it's t...

Ride Your Ride Your Ride

my bike Tuco, named after the Ugly One in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Lifes little surprises never cease to amaze me. I'm not exactly sure how to tell this story but I will try. A few weeks ago my Mom says she was digging around in an old dresser and found this little funny package. The package was flat and made from beer boxes, cut and taped together and a little over 12" x 12" big. On it was my Dads handwriting stating what was inside. RECORDS! And not just any records but records I had wondered what had happened to because I knew my Dad really liked them....FATS DOMINO! He had taken care and written the names of the records for safe keeping. Now they are mine to cherish. It was like a little gift from the other side...which sometimes doesn't feel very far away. In fact most days it feels like my Dad is still right here with me. With Fathers Day happening this weekend he has been on my mind more than usual. So yesterday I was a little surprised to ge...
