Don't Fight It

It happened....

I got sick. I was doing everything not to. Staying away from people. Staying away from known suspects with it. But somehow, some way a stray sick bullet hit me and struck me down. Let me preface by saying that I HATE BEING SICK. You are thinking WHO DOESN'T? But it really bothers me to the NTH DEGREE more than most because I can't stand NOT BEING PRODUCTIVE and laying around being lazy. However I do know that when it gets you, it has you and you can't fight it any longer...it's off to bed with you, hot tea and broth and all that crap.
This one is mainly affecting my bronchial and throat region and no sinus stuff (IM SO THANKFUL!) so I'm thinking it's bronchitis, strep or just a really bad sore throat. It hurts to swallow and I've given up on talking. I whisper which doesn't agitate my throat as much. Talking sends me into coughing fits. It's been Nyquil , Nyquil, Nyquil over here. Just conk me out and let me be comatose through this.
I also have a tendency to get really pissy when I'm sick. I have zero tolerance for stupid stuff. I also get really annoyed if I found out a friend knowingly was sick and hung around me endangering my health. If you're sick please stay home, that's not the time to be out partying and giving it to all your friends like party favors. Jerk.
It's mainly because I'm self employed and can't afford to miss days of not working on stuff and especially right now. Forgive. Did I tell you I hate being sick?
I tried to be productive from my bed yesterday and started messing around with Wix. Here's a little website I built, still needs some tweaking but I'm liking the easy way you can customize everything through Wix. So much better than Yahoo Sitebuilder which I know ZERO about and can't even make my own banner. Give it a look and any feedback is welcome:

Best thing is it's FREE! 
So that's what I've done besides make a rad Frank Zappa light up record 
Here's to your health! Don't catch it! RUN!!!!

Jim Rockford was keeping me broke

Ah Rockford files, a comfortable and silly way to unwind after work. Yes, I am completely aware that I've turned into my Dad and watching Dad shows totally cements that theory. I had to start looking at the handsome James Garner in a new light though... He was a rich and famous star in his time and every evening spent curled up watching Rockford Files was an evening a painting wasn't getting worked on. No painting, no art show material. No painting, no galleries. No painting, no money. Would James Garner be watching TV every evening in a tired drowsy ball and not getting stuff done? Probably not.  So I pulled myself away from TV land in the evenings and devoted at least a little time in the mornings as well. Even if it's just ten minutes. Even if you are just filling in all the blacks, blues or whatever... It is progress. Something is better than nothing. I'm proud to say this little habit tweak has totally kicked my butt into gear and I'm producing at a rate I'

How I had the best art year

  This was the year I got rejection letters from every open call I applied to. Granted, it wasn't very many I applied to because I am very picky about what I sign up for AND I am also very jaded about these things of late.  However, this was my best art year to date and I kinda love that it was all rejection notices this year and I STILL HAD THE BEST ART YEAR EVER. Takeaway: Today's open calls are very "agenda based" and the jurors they choose to judge have their agendas. Some want more millennials and younger artists and shun the older artists, some want you to tackle race, gender identity, politics, feminist, pro this or that.... And my art does not. I'm going to stick by  my "Nature is more important than most bullshit" stance till I die because the very atom of life and Nature is more important in my eyes than most of the stuff humans do to feel more important than another group.  But I digress! I did not get into the velvet rope clubs and it was gre

The Backstory- cliff notes edition

  Skip navigation  little backstory I was totally working for myself as an artist and you know what? It was HARD! Harder than hard and harder than any job ever. But it was the most rewarding experience and I learned so much about so many things and I want to share that knowledge with you guys... My VIP art club. I didn't get a fair shake from the very beginning of my art career. I suffered a back injury at my "muggle" job which required a lot of physical therapy to get over and which I will have with me forever now. It was actually the impetus for me to quit my job and start being an artist! So I turned my bad luck into fuel for my fire. I saved 5k (painstakingly while enduring all the BS at a terrible job) and then I made the leap. I was so excited and optimistic about working for myself! I had sold little pieces here and there and was sure it was only upwards from there. 2 weeks into my freedom- my Dad died unexpectedly. What came next was indescribable DEPRESSION and a
