A crazy persons Saturday

STUDIO CAT! Tuco likes to be in charge of the musical selections while we work

What kinda crazy person gets up right before 4am on a SATURDAY...has 2 cups of coffee and decides the kitchen and bathroom need to be decluttered..... before breakfast? This kinda crazy person. I then decided the momentum was ON and I handled up on folding all the laundry and putting it away. Defurring the "sofa" (its a scratched up hand me down love seat) and putting clean coverlets on it, fresh shams on the pillows and scrubbing down all the pet bowls.

I'm not really sure if this is adulting or neurosis but I think it is the latter.

A healthy yogurt bowl with flaxseed, chia, nuts and berries and a nice stretching session with my back implements and I'm sitting in the studio feeling kinda accomplished.

Soon my gym will open and I'll be on my way to PROJECT NO CHEMO DAY 3! I think today will be more tidying up- I'm between projects and waiting on approvals and thats the BEST time to get a jump on making my home livable. It is already a hot day here in Dallas and I want to do some art in my studio but may have to move my studio into the dining room.

Was this really a blog about how productive you can be with 2 cups of coffee while the world is fast asleep? I guess it was! :D

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...

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...

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...
