You Do You

                   Prints Prints Prints!

Its been a fairly good week taking care of business. Cyber Monday sale went great and prints and small originals were collected.
Got my Mom just about moved in to her new place and a fridge was given to her- YAY! Some negativity got interjected into my world but a friend took me for out for tacos- so balance is restored in my Universe. No one knows the shit I've been through and struggle with daily so negativity just can't be put in my mixing bowl. It can't. I just throw that ish right outta the bowl. Nope.
This was one of the most trying months Ive ever had to deal with and I don't have the energy for anyone else's bad vibes.
But back to the good- raised a lil something for Direct Relief on Giving Tuesday. Something is better than nothing. ❤ Got a nice tip for my prints- woohoo! And help from a friend which is always much needed.
Got my rent covered another month thanks to everyone buying from my Shopify shop. Now I can settle in to knocking out projects and trying to carve some breathing room for myself. December is just about here and its already rushy-rushy in my studio.
Thanks to everyone who has been supportive through my crisis month. ❤
As we head into a stressful month remember...we are all HUMAN doing the best that we can in the ways that we can. We are not perfect and sometimes things don't go the way we plan. There is a lot of unseen, unknown "stuff" going on in people's lives that don't get shown on Facebook. So have some empathy, compassion and no judgement on what information you "think" you have about someone else's life.
❤ In peace and good spirit.

So what's the Scenario?

Street Artist 'My Dog Sighs' Paints Faces on Cans Found Littered on the Street I found this interesting art on Pinterest and thought it would be a good example for a proposed scenario.....indulge me if you will.... The scenario is this....this street artist paints on cans. Pretty cool right? Pretty neat! He's probably not the only one who paints on cans in the world but he most likely is the only one in his little neck of the woods and art circle. Ok, let's pretend I invite this CAN painter to be in this big group show we do annually at my gallery. (This is pretend land, I dont have a gallery but roll with me...)  Ok, he is a hit, everyone thinks his can faces are awesome and he's considered pretty unique for doing this medium in our little art circle. Ok fast forward into the future....it's a year later and it's time for our big annual show...here's the scenario....we don't invite the CAN artist to come show again BUT we do hand out a can ...

The Age of Upgrade

BIG BATCH OF HAND PAINTED WAX FOR SAN FRANCISCO I wanted to do a  blog about the upgrade I'm doing and why. Because I am an artist and not a business person I have been lax on so many things I shouldn't have been and caused myself a lot of headaches. This was a year of growing pains for my business and days before my birthday I decided my new age of 39 would be one of grand changes. For starters...I'm typing this on an old Android phone. It's the only equipment I have. My old Mac finally gave up the ghost and I can no longer do any graphic designing in Photoshop or even save files. This will need to be upgraded, I need a computer. Let's talk about vinyl though...I started doing the vinyl about 6 years ago and they were pretty basic novice attempts at painting on vinyl. After many experiments, failures and tons of practice... I have brought them into their own. They started as $30 discs and climbed as I got better. I marked everything DOWN to $50 this year...

Digital Vacation

  Have you looked around and discovered you have filled your life with bad habits? If you said NO- good for you, you might not be human! 😁  I was experiencing a major BLAH and it was all because of ME. What I spent time on, consumed, did and did not do. I also felt like the willpower I used to have in abundance was gone and I wondered if I would ever get it back.  First and foremost I had to look at my main bad habits. What was the very first thing I did every day. EVERY DAY! I reached for my phone, I social media blitzed my brain over two long cups of coffee every morning. I made sure to look at my MEMORIES like it was my job every day. Ruminating on the past and seeing everyone's angry opinions and celebrity/political posts and regurgitated memes ad nauseum....is actually not a very optimistic and healthy way for me to cruise into the day. Not only is this not good for my spirit it wasted almost two hours of every morning. 💀 That's precious time!  I'm weaning mys...
