Plant yourself!

Well guess who is back in the studio again? Me. And my blog is still orange and green because Ive had no time to update yet. But I started a new painting and Im loving being back in the swing of things. You might recognize the pink cloud stuff from when I was working on pink clouds for my Idaho trip. The canvas kept staring at me with its pink clouds and I kept envisioning white birds set against that periwinkle blue.
I'm cranking on it some more today (that is just a detail shot btw its a 48" wide x 36" height canvas). This weekend is some serious nose to the grindstone work on paper leaves project for work.
Just wrapped up 3 of these layered wood pieces for a hotel project. I like the way they look and I got to design them from scratch and paint them... and they were a pain in the butt- but rewarding to see in the end. They totally remind me of my wood art project that I need to get back to.
(Tomato plant my friend gave me)
Enjoying slightly cooler temps today and marvelling at my plants looking so good right now. I'm a notorious plant serial killer- but somehow this cool tomato plant is thriving...as is my potato plant and my cactus, ivy and vine thing. I'm talking about plants because I got disconnected from MY art for awhile and they are all plant-centric Nature connected. My plants are reminding me where I need to be.
See? PLANTS! 
The Peony Power kicks are currently my top selling shoe design. I've heard that the asymmetrical design Im working with is super cool and I am pleased because- WHY BE MATCHY MATCHY ? Lets be different. Let's break all the rules! This one gives me serious garden vibes and I love the pink and green and really everything about these. I made the flowers BIG on the front piece to be BOLD. Bam! Peonies! In yo face! 
We are through with boring shoes and I plan on designing more Bucketfeet. If you don't have wallspace for art- you can wear it on your feet. 
Also looking into kimonos and socks. 
If I can get all these "passive income" print on demand shops working for me then I'll have more time to PAINT which is what I need to be doing. 
Tell your friends- show off your shoes 😉💗 
And as always THANKS BUNCHES!

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...

Shoot for the Stars!

Shoot for the Stars! Latest painted record featuring Han Solo AVAILABLE ($50) Theres a beautiful rain falling this Friday morning, it's a quiet steady and soft rain. The complete opposite of how it started....loud thunder cracking, waking me up from sleepyland and making my computers blink. Now it's just a little drip drip and quietude. Rain makes primering a no go since I primer outside. I am looking for the perfect large box to spray in, this will ease a lot of trouble with tree detritus landing on a barely sprayed record and wreaking havoc. My house was busy yesterday with order drop off and order pickup and then a graphic design job I was waiting to hear about popped up so I'm officially BUSY for the next two weeks at  least. Wrapping up record orders and the graphic work and I'm happy to be busy and working from home. This record featured above is up for grabs until someone grabs it. I won't have time for new vinyl for awhile so get it while it's t...

Ride Your Ride Your Ride

my bike Tuco, named after the Ugly One in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Lifes little surprises never cease to amaze me. I'm not exactly sure how to tell this story but I will try. A few weeks ago my Mom says she was digging around in an old dresser and found this little funny package. The package was flat and made from beer boxes, cut and taped together and a little over 12" x 12" big. On it was my Dads handwriting stating what was inside. RECORDS! And not just any records but records I had wondered what had happened to because I knew my Dad really liked them....FATS DOMINO! He had taken care and written the names of the records for safe keeping. Now they are mine to cherish.  It was like a little gift from the other side...which sometimes doesn't feel very far away. In fact most days it feels like my Dad is still right here with me. With Fathers Day happening this weekend he has been on my mind more than usual.  So yesterday I was a little surprised to ge...
