Back in Black

A mural work in progress

Had to halt work in my studio for a hot minute to do some real world pay-the-rent kind of work. But as far as that kind of work goes it's a dream, pays very well, allowed me to design it and will be part of a live painting event for a lucrative set of people. If anything it will be fun and I'll have added another mural to my repertoire and hopefully make some connections, which usually happens. I was lucky to befriend an awesome artist who has the rare trait of trying to share the good fortune and work instead of secretly hoarding and being stingy like..., way too many Artists. I'm blessed to know the dude but I'll give him shout outs after the event since it's kinda mysterious right now about who the event is for.
The mural will be finished at said event LIVE, so the guests can enjoy seeing the completion.
But today it's back in the studio for me so I can work on my own show for the Kirk Hopper gallery. The tally is now: 3 collaborations done, 6 personal works complete. 1 collaboration left to finish, 4 personal works left to finish and jumping into a 3d piece if time still allows. It's crunch time with exactly one month left till the show.
I really can't wait to see all our work in one room. I'm really such a fan of SONERs work and think our colors are going to radiate in this show.
So that's a peek into my world, a lot of painting, switching gears, keeping my eyes on the calendar and doing my best to do my best.
Press release should go out soon so heads up on more about the show!

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 ...

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...
