Expression

It's "THAT" day...
For me it's just a day to post my FAVORITE Valentine card ever, the RAT Valentine. Look at those little teeth! That little outfit! He seems so happy to be all SNAPPED up in that TRAP! Celebrating two birthdays this month, my sister and my Dads. February does make me a little melancholy I admit. It's a weird feeling to get back all the birthday cards, holiday cards and letters you ever wrote to someone you love when they pass on. I've been thinking about it a lot lately and one of the most painful things you can experience in life is not being able to EXPRESS yourself. When that person is no longer physically here you can no longer physically express to them I LOVE YOU. You need to be able to do that, pour your heart out. Not being able to say that anymore to someone I care so deeply about just fills me with sorrow. I pour it into my paint and let it out through that means. I have to express myself, I can not feel stifled. I am not a frozen, unmoving and uncaring being. I hug people I just met. I am that kind of weirdo. I know how it feels to be able to walk the whole of this earth, it's caves, shores, peaks and valleys, every continent and crevice and never see someone I love so deeply ever again. If that person exists on Earth for you tell them you love them today, everyday. You are not promised tomorrow. 
However you express yourself, express yourself.

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...

Shoot for the Stars!

Shoot for the Stars! Latest painted record featuring Han Solo AVAILABLE ($50) Theres a beautiful rain falling this Friday morning, it's a quiet steady and soft rain. The complete opposite of how it started....loud thunder cracking, waking me up from sleepyland and making my computers blink. Now it's just a little drip drip and quietude. Rain makes primering a no go since I primer outside. I am looking for the perfect large box to spray in, this will ease a lot of trouble with tree detritus landing on a barely sprayed record and wreaking havoc. My house was busy yesterday with order drop off and order pickup and then a graphic design job I was waiting to hear about popped up so I'm officially BUSY for the next two weeks at  least. Wrapping up record orders and the graphic work and I'm happy to be busy and working from home. This record featured above is up for grabs until someone grabs it. I won't have time for new vinyl for awhile so get it while it's t...
