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!

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...

It's the little things...

I will eventually get back to posting about art 😂 but I lost my first pound with just 3 days of dedicating myself to Metabolic Renewal...and this is me playing fast and loose because A. I did not buy their shakes I'm doing my own. So I don't really know their caloric/nutrition value vs mine. B. Getting 10,000 steps a day on my pedometer.... doesn't happen. That's almost two hours of walking a day. I get 8,000 or 9,000 before the Texas heat or work calls it off. C. Haven't followed any of the meal recipes. I've been winging it with good sense. I will get closer to their instructions in time ( like maybe next week) since I paid for it. My body is SORE AF. It's totally getting put through the paces and I'm lucky there are modifications for pudgy newbies like me. But 1st lb down is a good feeling because seeing the scale move down is what I'm after. I'm pretty proud of myself for yesterday in general..did my workout, a walking session THEN WENT ...

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...
