Video killed the radio star

I had the best intentions to paint yesterday but got sidetracked

I decided to try out my GoPro my sister gave me since I've been itching to learn video...so I took it out when I went mushroom hunting and shot a couple things. Easy enough. By the way yesterday was primo for shroom finds...look at these babies

That first one that looks like a crazy star shape....had never seen those before and I was so excited! I hadn't been having much luck and I spied a stump and almost didn't check it out...but glad I did coz there they were. Stumps are great places to find mushrooms.

That little round one that looks like a rock is possibly an edible Puffball. I would have to cut him open to inspect though.

But mushrooms aren't what sidetracked me....it was the VIDEO. When I got back into the studio I decided to get the video off the camera....this took some learning even on how to get the card outta the camera. Im a nube. And Im notoriously technology-dumb. And I never seem to have the proper equipment for things to be easy peasy. Case in point I cant download imovie to edit my video because my computer is outdated. So I then looked up and tried various things to try to edit my video. Im currently messing around with Youtube video editor. Wish me luck! 😝

I should soon have some very basic and boring videos of stupid shit to show you but dammit- I'M LEARNING NEW THINGS and that's important to me. So lost a day of arting but had to be done, gotta figure out video.

Tonight Im going to see MC5-oh. Two concerts in one week...who the hell am I? I better take some vitamins! 😂

Ok today I paint for real for real...enjoy the weekend everyone...maybe next week VIDEO will be posted!

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...

The calm during the storm

Fist Pumps! Cool rainy weather has hit Dallas. Just in time for the opening of the State Fair of Texas and Oktoberfest...which I just happened to be at yesterday by happenstance. Oktoberfest that is, not the Fair. No, I did not have any bier. I did have a fun time walking around between biergartens and weiner dog races in the rain with good company though! I had to drop off my piece "FLOURISH" to a place in McKinney Tx called ORISONS who will be having a gallery walk in a few weeks. There were a lot of people down there for the festivities so they wanted the work to show off to all the traffic. It's been quite a week(end) and I just wanted to pop off a blog to say thanks to everyone who has been supporting by coming to the shows and making purchases and just high fiving me on facebook, etc. THANKS SO MUCH! I've been working my tail off in the studio- that's the part you don't see...but hopefully you can see it in my work when it's done. All the t...
