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 Case in point I cant download imovie to edit my video because my computer is outdated.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...

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...
