Crunch time or What the Hell.....

Samichlaus and Schmutzli-  Swiss Christmas characters

Because I've been sick since the day after Thanksgiving (still coughing, seriously wtf?) and I'm behind on a few commissions (which I'm rocking out today and tomorrow)....I have neglected all signs of the season. I don't have a tree up. I don't have a wreath up. No sign of Christmas has appeared AT ALL in my house. Because my Doctor has decided this month was the month to drain my wallet... any gifts or such things are not gonna happen. I am barely going to eek out the rent and hopefully bills. I hope to have enough to buy a lone ham to share with my Mom and brothers. It's like that. Ah well, it's nothing new. I'm not into the shopping frenzy this holiday has become anyway. But I would like to send some cards out to my friends and family so I better get crackin'. I kinda want to take this time to CLEAN and PURGE my house of unwanted junk before the new year. I have decided this holiday was just going to be simple. Dinner with the family and if I get a chance to put the tree up then AWESOME. If I don't, who says I have to get it up before Dec 25? 
Maybe I can celebrate it whenever I want?
At any rate it's a busy week for me painting and organizing and trying to make some cash. If you were wanting to grab a piece from me from the dwindling stash I have left, my work is at a few places right now and you'll be helping ME and the venue out.
KETTLE ART GALLERY (2 pieces available I believe, both priced at $90. 50% goes to me, 50% to Kettle)
NEIGHBORHOOD (my larger pieces are here with a 50/50 split)
KESSLER THEATER (Totem is here along with a few pieces )
TYLER STREET SALON (Twiggy records! $60 each all proceeds to ME <3)
Hope everyone is enjoying the simple things in life, like breathing, family, health....remember what it's about and thanks for keeping up with my art rollercoaster!

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...

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...
