Gettin busy in the beehive and the beauty of NO

Art for the 3 x 3 show has been DROPPED! (Read "DROPPED" like the Beastie Boys would say it)

I've decided to use this weekend super selfishly. On my own work! >:) I've also decided to make and eat pancakes for breakfast. Just because. It was what popped into my head the minute I opened my eyes this morning so we're gonna go with that magic. It can only mean good things. Good, sticky, syrupy things!
The week ahead has 2 art openings in it for me and I've got lots of little opportunities floating around that will require a lot of work in the coming weeks so I decided a little ME painting was gonna have to happen now or not for awhile. Yesterday I heard back from the place I interviewed at that they were gonna hire internally after all and thank you very much. Like I mentioned in my blog before I didn't care one way or the other. I get to stay being my own boss and not have to commute at night in a not very well populated area. Somehow I think the word NO just saved my life. Plus I have come to embrace the word NO as a friend and much needed can of gasoline. You see, the more I hear the word NO the more fuel it is for my burning flame. NO makes me rev into high gear, break all my previous records and focus on next level shit. Oh yes, it does. So tell me NO world, I will keep climbing higher. Obviously my place is behind the canvas and my studio right now- hence why all these artistic opportunities are coming my way. OK, time to make the pancakes and get to work on a new painting. I'm starting another 24" x 24" in the vein of the "The Path of Fruitfulness" and I'm dying to know what my subconscious, psyche and mysterious creative spirit want to manifest on canvas. I feel like an Ouija board when I paint...channeling something I don't really understand.

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...
