Hello February

                 Hibernating Butterfly
New month and ready for it. It's Friday and there's projects to accomplish. Seems like a good day to set goals for the month and look at January like the training ground it was.
* Goal: more time for family and friends (Work consumes me to the point that I miss out on quality time with my tribe. Not this month!)
*Goal: less social media more reading, creating time (Doing better with this- but can do even better)
*Goal: Do work on new work platform (Signed up for new freelance stuff last month so that was a big first step- now to get integrated and start actively grabbing assignments)
*Goal: Increase reps/weights, strength training. Did well this month in the fitness dept but now its time to crank up the heat a bit.
*Goal: time management for personal art. Gotta make sure MY art keeps flowing from my studio- not just commercial work.
*Goal: Put something fun on the calendar already. I dont get vacations and my calendar is nothing but work and doctors appointments. That's not life- thats drudgery. Putting something fun on my calendar this month- like a hike or exploring a new town.
*Goal: Meditation. I fell off. And its SO GOOD when Im meditating. Have to make it a routine thing.
Ok if I can hit as many of these goals this month as possible I'll feel like life is working for me not against me. 😂
To LESS STRESS THIS MONTH! Let's make it so!

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...

Everything in it's place

One of photographer Franks Lopez's vintage cameras Last week was a whirlwind of deadlines, bus trips and fun...all culminating in an art show on Saturday night and two glasses of celebratory wine for all my efforts. I had set a goal for three new vinyl works  to be done in about a week and actually made that happen (actually make that 4!). Normally 3 new vinyl pieces would be nothing for me to do in a week but I had challenged myself to work outside my realm of expertise and delve into the world of LED lights, epoxy, drills, bolts and other fascinating construction. The end result is that I can now push my vinyl creations further - the finished piece was well received! Sales were made and sales are pending and a whole new crowd has been exposed to my work. YAY!  I found myself modeling for local photographer Frank Lopez last week and was thrilled because I like his work very much. He was doing "tintypes" and I got to see the whole process in action as well as ex...
