Life at the moment

My workstation in bed
Usually I make an announcement before I take a "facebreak" but it was kind of a spontaneous decision and warranted no hooplah. It seemed as good a time as any for another "retreat". I need my reset button pushed and this usually does the trick.

Im closing out the second week of back injury mode and although Im feeling like a lot of progress has been made- still injured- still can't walk too much or sit too long.
Ive devised a little workstation out of a tray and a piece of wood so I can work more comfortably in bed on work that's piling up.
Being off Facebook will help me be productive and Ive removed the place I bemoan my woes so no bemoaning now. Its not productive and I need to be productive.

My chiropractic sessions are done and they helped a lot. It was good to get a visual of mortal me. A crooked skeleton. Now Im on my own for self care and staying on top of my injury. Its been a trip down memory lane to the 10 years ago when it happened and the battle to rebuild myself.
Rebuild again. Its a theme of life. Get destroyed and rebuild-over and over.
I feel like a lot of things need evaluation right now and also a lot of just plain "letting it be" and not chasing anything.
What does any of this have to do with "art"? This is the art of life. Getting destroyed, rebuilding, weathering the storms, turning inward, working it out, pushing through and standing up again.
This is the art of life.

If anyone needs me theres Messenger still. If youre a VIP you have the batline phone number for texts,etc. Instagram is most likely still gonna be scanned on the daily. My Tigerbee Arts page is still active and I may pop off a blog or 2 here for the curiosity seekers. I'll be back but just need a break at the moment.
Hugs, Trish

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...

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...
