sunday morning

This is supposed to be a cup of coffee with a cool galactic scene but it looks like hot chocolate to me, nevertheless I wish ALL my coffee looked so cool.


A perfect song for a perfect Sunday. Not to be confused with A Perfect Day by Lou Reed. But since we're talking galaxies and VU, how's about a chaser to go with your second cup

I think you can now properly go into your Sunday. You've been caffeinated, gone on a space trip and listened to the dreamy musings and pluckings of Lou Reed and the gang.
I have so much on my plate these days I need these tiny little reminders to take a break and enjoy something. Coffee. Love songs. Galaxies. Life is very good right now but very busy. It is everything my Year of The Dragon forecast said it would be. MY Year... yet a lot of hard work. I'm in the thick of a giant new painting...I guess you can get a peek at it
this is a zoomed in section of it taken with my cellphone, I wanted to show you the "lichen" which I am slowly but surely working on today. It's a three color process if that gives you any indication how long this is taking me and my frustration with this thing. Nothing worth waiting for ever came easy though. My Sunday will find me wrapped in the arms of this creature and then I'm off to a birthday dinner for a friend. Enjoy the day, enjoy the perfect day!

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...
