Waves don't stop


Some new vinyl works I'll be showing this Friday at Tyler Street Salon alongside local art demon Diablo Texas

I don't know why I kept thinking that if I could just get through last week/end I would be in the home stretch and could ride out the rest of the year quietly working in my studio. Of course I forgot something basic and major....waves don't stop. They just keep crashing against the shore. That is just life. Non stop. So I got asked to DJ this Saturday and couldn't pass up the chance to see Sea and Cake this Thursday and of course there is the Salon opening on Friday....you see how this is going? A look at my To Do calendar shows graphic design and feature deadlines all this week and next. Uploading and sending over photos to Oak Cliff People Newspaper, ordering supplies for my studio, rounding up stuff for commissions, picking up my vinyl figure,  making sure my brother is working on what he needs to be working on. Of course there is no time for me, I was silly to think such a thing! Gallery meeting that was today has been pushed to tomorrow, there is cat puke in the living room that has been there a few days that I only spy as I'm coming and tiredly going out the door to do this and do that. My house is a mess. I feel like a mess too. But the show must go on! It's only Tuesday after all and it's not even 8am yet...I have a whole day to punch dents in all this stuff right? Right?
Commissioned piece I finished last week for a sweet 12 year olds birthday present, she is in a Green Day cover band that played at Club Dada
Another commissioned piece featuring my trees and a little carved heart with initials, a sweet way to say I Love You : )   (these are $60 on 12" x 12" canvas)

Looks like a day at the computer doing graphic design and such, someone remind me to stretch my spine every few hours!

It's the little things...

I will eventually get back to posting about art 😂 but I lost my first pound with just 3 days of dedicating myself to Metabolic Renewal...and this is me playing fast and loose because A. I did not buy their shakes I'm doing my own. So I don't really know their caloric/nutrition value vs mine. B. Getting 10,000 steps a day on my pedometer.... doesn't happen. That's almost two hours of walking a day. I get 8,000 or 9,000 before the Texas heat or work calls it off. C. Haven't followed any of the meal recipes. I've been winging it with good sense. I will get closer to their instructions in time ( like maybe next week) since I paid for it. My body is SORE AF. It's totally getting put through the paces and I'm lucky there are modifications for pudgy newbies like me. But 1st lb down is a good feeling because seeing the scale move down is what I'm after. I'm pretty proud of myself for yesterday in general..did my workout, a walking session THEN WENT ...

The New Way

Had a wonderful time at the Artists Showcase and Home Tour on Thursday. It was a great reminder of the new "Im worth it" path I've taken. I really feel like the artists were well taken care of and promoted and enjoyed the event very much. Here was my little curated space: All the artists got their own little spaces to create and show in this AMAZING house. I had lots of great windows and light in my space. Even though my endometriosis pains were popping in intermittently- I stood and smiled and chatted with visitors and fellow artists. These three were my largest pieces there and looked great on the spacious walls.   These look great together- I hope whoever eventually buys them is able to get both of them. Its a fun horizontal/vertical juxtaposition. The food was IMPECCABLE...the cake makers made these elegant cakeballs in various flavors and used each of the artists works to decorate the tops. I have arrived! My art is edible! Ther...

One thing leads to another

Sometimes it just takes one little action to get things rolling in the right direction. For me the action was ordering a giant roll of bubble wrap I didn't even have space for and when it arrived I had to figure out where it would live because my cats were already trying to hug it with their teeth and sharp little claws.  Also, why bubble wrap? What for?  I'm a big believer in taking some sort of action, big or small to make yourself move in a certain direction. I also believe in productive manifesting and the bubble wrap symbolized shipping. Shipping art out. Shipping lots of art out. Shipping out so much art I was justified in living with a big roll of bubble wrap for awhile!  So step one: order the bubble wrap and step two was the fun task of... Making a place for it to live. So manifesting was already happening and I decided I needed a designated area for shipping supplies and hell.. My printer needed a proper home too. I had a very messy shelf with an old printer on ...
