Nature Graffiti


crappy cell phone pics of my latest piece: "Nature Graff 1"

There was NO work in my studio at all and I wasn't going out of 2012 with a bare studio. I had been asked for a few pieces in this style for a local shop so I decided to get moving. The end result was this, it was an idea I had been toying around with before I went bright and rainbow ballistic- tame and elegant but still using my organic Nature shapes. It reminded me a little of the crazy flourishes taggers are so great at- that I suck at. I've always loved graffitti but I wouldn't even know where to begin with that. In any case this is a bit like graff if Nature put it's stamp on something.  My goal is to make these affordable so in order to do that I can't spend 100 hours on them (as Ive been known to do). So I clocked in when I would start painting and clock out when I stopped. When all was said and done this is about 8 hours worth of painting (not counting the priming). So if I wanted to get super serious I could paint one of these a day just as if I were going to work- which in reality I am. It's time to get serious, the holidays are over and my bank account is almost empty. For reals.
So expect a few more of these to come down the pipe and if you're interested in getting one -I said they were super affordable- message me privately. 
Tonight, tonight, tonight....a bit of fun! SHOW ME THE MUNNY 3 is finally here and I'm expecting to bump into some friends who also created pieces for the show. 


It's going to be fun seeing a whole room full of these guys in different shapes, sizes and personas! I hear if you get there early they are giving away a bunch of freebie stuff so come out and have some fun with TOYS!!! I was very tempted when dropping him off at Atama to....go buy another blank to paint. AAAGGGHHH! I don't need another project right now! :)
Have a great friday! Stick your tongue at someone!

NYAH!!!

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 ...
