Stu-stu-studio!

           Tuco enjoying a CLEAN space!

Bear with me as Im going to be discussing ORGANIZATION for a bit. Yesterday was an epic day in the declutterring department. About 9 bags of clothes and shoes were hauled off to the donation bin.
My walk in closet is now a fully functional walk in closet and I can see all the things I have so I can cull even more. Vintage stuff is being set aside to sell on ebay. Old tshirts are being converted to paint rags or donated in the second round.
Things are being repurposed and put to use. It feels GREAT! Somehow the closet project involved the laundry room debacle- as quite a few laundry bags and baskets had accumulated. I sorted through those and before I knew it the laundry room was decluttered and everything was in its place.
Such peace of mind to have that yearlong project off my back! I feel like I've finally moved into my home. My bedroom floor is free of its pile of clothes. Carpet vacuumed and everything dusted. Falling asleep in a clean room is AMAZING.
There is still tons to do but I can tackle it piecemeal- like the dresser (maybe a drawer or two a day), the bathroom bins (old products, makeup that need to be tossed), etc.... But I decided it would be smart to start on my STUDIO today. At least putting everything where it goes until I can get some storage solutions for my gridwall project. Have a few more records to finish for people so a clean studio is next on the list.
2019 is going to be SORTED and I cannot wait!

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...
