Monday Monday

Brother Sister project, my brother Erik and I created these records for Mr. Velez

It was a studio lock-down kinda weekend- it was too cold to be outside playing and I had lots of work to do so I knocked out some commission stuff that needed doing.
First up was dogs, dogs , dogs! These are painted on records with acrylic, fun pet portraits for my friend Chuck. (Sioux B is a pretty shy dog)

Buddies! Caspar and Mason on a vinyl record

Then it was on to the Brother Sister project I hadn't had a chance to get to in all the holiday craziness and bronchitis fun. My brother designed out the skull and lettering and did most all the work on the blue disc, I did the red disc using his designs a little more simplified and combined you have our two distinct styles- mines a little sweet and his has a little menace to it- a good sweet n sour combo if you ask me! He excels at that lettering! Today is ship day and I'm excited to get these to their proper homes. 
I have been experiencing those horrible pains I get from time to time. They are debilitating. I only hope I am at home when they hit and if I'm not I make a beeline for my house because it is tear wrenching horrible murderous pain that makes me crawl into a ball for for about 45 minutes trying to do deep breathing and praying to the Naproxen God to make it stop NOW. The pains were a reminder that I had atypical cells at my last screening, in 6 months I go back to see if it's developed into something sinister and that my resolution this year was to put HEALTH first. Today it's all about the produce and chopping, steaming and sauteeing veggies and prepping for the weeks meals.
Starting on a David Bowie disc for a customer then it's on to Carol Borland
Gothic beauty...
These along with the stack of glam records I need to paint and I'll be pretty busy all week in the vinyl department. And this is how I start my Monday- with a clear view of all that must be done and a resolve to see it through. Have a great one everybody!

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 ...
