Let's Do This!

             Paper leaves, paper leaves!
So begins a new week and a very busy one. So many projects to bust through this week but excited to get them to completion at last. All my personal work is on the back burner as I plough through this but it's also simmering in the back of my mind. It's ok to have the ideas simmering for a bit.
I'm not sure if Mercury is in retrograde or what - but Yahoo (which Ive used through my whole adult life pretty much) has decided to just throw away all my mail. ALL MY MAIL. That's everything from business, current projects, family mail, photos, files....over a decades worth of my life. After attempting to "contact" them to fix it...by the way there is no way to contact humans anymore online...I got some dumb autoresponse that fixed nothing. I manually pulled out what I could and just have to be zen about the rest.
But I bring this up in the event you messaged me recently and I didn't get back with you...Yahoo has been up to no good and Im having to evaluate my relationship with them going forward. Gmail is an absolute nightmare I tried to traverse and could not so they aren't an option either. So as I begin to make plans with my business- this happens. Kill me. 😂 You just have to laugh.
Starting the day by filing for an extension on my taxes. I'm just not ready right now.

Luckily Im in TCB mode and ready to kick this week's butt.

Jim Rockford was keeping me broke

Ah Rockford files, a comfortable and silly way to unwind after work. Yes, I am completely aware that I've turned into my Dad and watching Dad shows totally cements that theory. I had to start looking at the handsome James Garner in a new light though... He was a rich and famous star in his time and every evening spent curled up watching Rockford Files was an evening a painting wasn't getting worked on. No painting, no art show material. No painting, no galleries. No painting, no money. Would James Garner be watching TV every evening in a tired drowsy ball and not getting stuff done? Probably not.  So I pulled myself away from TV land in the evenings and devoted at least a little time in the mornings as well. Even if it's just ten minutes. Even if you are just filling in all the blacks, blues or whatever... It is progress. Something is better than nothing. I'm proud to say this little habit tweak has totally kicked my butt into gear and I'm producing at a rate I'

How I had the best art year

  This was the year I got rejection letters from every open call I applied to. Granted, it wasn't very many I applied to because I am very picky about what I sign up for AND I am also very jaded about these things of late.  However, this was my best art year to date and I kinda love that it was all rejection notices this year and I STILL HAD THE BEST ART YEAR EVER. Takeaway: Today's open calls are very "agenda based" and the jurors they choose to judge have their agendas. Some want more millennials and younger artists and shun the older artists, some want you to tackle race, gender identity, politics, feminist, pro this or that.... And my art does not. I'm going to stick by  my "Nature is more important than most bullshit" stance till I die because the very atom of life and Nature is more important in my eyes than most of the stuff humans do to feel more important than another group.  But I digress! I did not get into the velvet rope clubs and it was gre

The Backstory- cliff notes edition

  Skip navigation  little backstory I was totally working for myself as an artist and you know what? It was HARD! Harder than hard and harder than any job ever. But it was the most rewarding experience and I learned so much about so many things and I want to share that knowledge with you guys... My VIP art club. I didn't get a fair shake from the very beginning of my art career. I suffered a back injury at my "muggle" job which required a lot of physical therapy to get over and which I will have with me forever now. It was actually the impetus for me to quit my job and start being an artist! So I turned my bad luck into fuel for my fire. I saved 5k (painstakingly while enduring all the BS at a terrible job) and then I made the leap. I was so excited and optimistic about working for myself! I had sold little pieces here and there and was sure it was only upwards from there. 2 weeks into my freedom- my Dad died unexpectedly. What came next was indescribable DEPRESSION and a
