November


Work in progress: Musical Totem (all hand painted vinyl records)

I'll explain this thing when it's done. For now just know this has been many hours and days of work. I managed to knock my back out of whack while DJing and carrying equipment on Saturday so sitting and working on this has been painful. I have had to figure out the logistics of this things construction and break a few records in experimentation but so far the results please me and I have googled VINYL RECORD TOTEM and not seen another like it. 
Today I continue work on it and tomorrow I pack up all my paint to go make my piece for ART CON. Sunday I install the totem and man my booth... not sure what I'll be selling (besides prints)  since I haven't had time to make anything but I'm sure my crazy brain will scheme something up.
All this work and upcoming events have me a bit frazzled and tired I admit so I am kind of looking forward to the middle of November where I don't see much on my calendar. It will be nice to just BE in my studio creating whatever with no deadline hanging over my head.
If I look at all the work I have to do it is like a giant pie impossible to eat...so I will look at each little slice as it is served and tackle it like that.
NOM NOM NOM.....PIE
Speaking of which, I need to run...I haven't recovered my fighting weight back from the State Fair of Texas. Fitting into my best dresses would be nice! I did a short 17 minute run yesterday and broke my personal record which was good motivation so today I will try to do a little better than that. I forgot I have a run in December and it's already November and I am WAY out of shape. Time to crack the whip. Plus running is a nice little break from the work in the studio and helps me destress and get some air and Nature. I should start every day with a run.
Have a great weekend- I'll be at the Latino Arts Fest on Sunday if you want to come see the completed totem and check out the magic going on in my booth.

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...

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...

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...
