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...

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...
