Published! Work Week Forecast...

 I'm a calendar girl....Miss June to be exact! And I got to keep my clothes on!
2013 Fine Art in Dallas engagement calendar by CITYARTCAL

It's been an eventful month! Just closed up ART CON 8 on Saturday after DJing Cirque de la Musique at GALLERY AT MIDTOWN where I snagged my copies of the 2013 FINE ART IN DALLAS engagement calendar. What it is:
an engagement calendar featuring a TON of local artists work printed in full color beautyousness along with a little bit about the artist and how to contact them. An asset for the serious art afficionado who wants to do more than sip wine at a local art opening...the BUYERS of art! I'm super psyched to be included and extend my many thanks to CITYARTCAL and Andrea Davis for making it happen. It was because I was in this book that Orisons Fine Art in McKinney contacted me about showing with them. You just never know how one opportunity will lead to another.
Art Con 8 was fun and bustling, it was interesting to see what was being bid on and for how much. Seems like people really like portraits in this town. Interesting, interesting. My piece went for $150 and was snagged by an amigo (Diablo Texas!) so I'm glad it's getting a good home and fetched some charity money while still leaving some beer money in Mr. Diablos bank account.

Since I've been rolling full throttle with social engagements and tons of deadlines I'm thrilled that I got to delete all the stuff to do, be at -from my TO DO LIST. It's looking nice and bare -the way I like it sometimes. : D It means I can work on my stuff at long last!
Got some commissions to work on and a couple of vinyl pieces for this Fridays showing at Tyler Street Salons grand opening party. I'm also picking up my Munny (vinyl toy) so I can get cracking on the Show Me The Munny show coming up next month. Tomorrow I meet with an interested gallery and if this little secret thing I got wind of on Friday actually happens- I'll reveal what that is. 
Heres a little shot of this blank vinyl toy I got at Micheals for about $4. Im experimenting on my first vinyl toy and applying sculpey. It's a tricky little thing and I'm just using this guy as a sounding board before I start on my real MUNNY. 
backside, he's shaking his butt at you!

Yeah seems a good photo to leave off with! HA HA!

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...
