Rewiring

A very old photo of my Troll Cat ACTUALLY wearing a tiny hat!

Happy St. Catrick's Day! Popping off a little blog first thing in the a.m. to clear the brain as I sip coffee.
I'm in the process of rewiring myself and morning is the perfect time to do all my new rituals. These include:
1. Guided meditation -Ive found some nice simple ones on Youtube that range everywhere from "Lions Mind" when Im feeling like I need to take charge....to "Just breathe and be right here in your body". Theres some for SLEEP and healing body scans. Doing meditation first thing in the morning puts me right here in the day and reminds me to enjoy the moments as they come and not get stuck in negative mind ramblings.
2. Positive Affirmations- I know I'm starting to sound ultra hippie dippie but I DO NOT CARE 😂 I put on positive affirmations while I soak in a bath and repeat things to myself. "I AM HEALTHY. I AM STRONG. I AM KIND" etc, etc. Because for too long Ive been telling myself I am Sick, I am Old, I am Broken...and you start believing it and BEING IT. Rewiring. Changing my story about me.
3. Bear with me because now we're getting into stuff that even I rolled my eyes at. MANIFESTING. There's a lot to learn about this type of rewiring but the basic pricipal is believe that you are going to get the things you want, allign yourself to those things and you will begin attracting them. I first practiced this when I quit my job. I manifested working for myself as an artist.
It happened.
Now I need to manifest myself in a better position earning what Im worth. I stopped doing all the positive things in my life that were working and let the negative take over me. Now it's time to rewire and reclaim.
So in a nutshell- I'm working on me and I need a lot of work. But Im getting there.
I have two weeks left before Idaho mural trip! Im excited and am making my supply and color list today. But in that two weeks are projects, projects, projects...when it rains it pours and everything stacks up at the same time. When its like this friends start asking if I can do this or that...it never happens when Im free and having a lull in work. Its ALWAYS when Im slammed.
Ah Universe...please organize your calendar!
So now begins the slow chipping away of projects.
See why I have to meditate and tell myself Im gonna be ok? I HAVE TO- for my sanity 😂
Enjoy a pleasant Sunday my friends. See you when I surface!

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...

Taming the monster

What started as me deciding to spend 30 minutes picking out clothes to donate from my closet .. Turned into about 2 hours of folding t shirts, jeans and deciding winter was far enough away that all sweaters and coats could be packed away. My closet was a walk-in diaster. My cat had lived in it all winter, knocked stuff down, slept on it, fuzzed up clothes and built forts. No lie.  I had been living in the same two pairs of jeans and 5 shirts off my bedroom floor (closet #2 😂). First things first, all the T shirts from OLD JOBS were the first to get put in donation pile. I don't need memories of "that place" and they were all too small, waaay too large or tan/beige/grey ..all the wrong unhappy colors that just say JOB when you look at them. Bye! So that happened yesterday. Major project that still needs work but for now it is peaceful enough to my brain to leave it alone. I have two large loads of laundry to do because my clothes look like...well like a cat has been sleep...

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...
