Week of MEH!

Its kind of been a busy week but it also feels like I wasn't really here.
It happens- you have the best intentions...you're going to do all these projects and get stuff done....and then...that restless aimless feeling happens.
That was me this week. Started out full throttle on Monday and then it was like my brain had a flat tire. It didn't want to do anything. It wanted to sleep.
So I gave myself room to sleep. I let myself wander in and out of rooms "wanting"to do things but saying MEH. I let myself just be. I figure something internal was tired of my busy bee bullshit and needed to rebel a bit.
Its annoying as a super productive person to get like this but there's also not much you can do but go with the flow.
In actuality I did accomplish some things. Like that little video up there.
I added a new app to my arsenal and watched some tutorials on how to use it. KineMaster was compatible with my phone and fairly easy to use. My phone doesn't have a lot of space so videos need to be deleted after uploading but there it is...my first KineMaster video for Instagram. Videos have become very imperative for social media and I am all about the EASIEST LESS TIME CONSUMING way to get something up please!
Also I completed that little meditative painting...
...and I've been invited to participate in a pop up art event next month in the Design District so I can't say MEH anymore...I have work to do.
I'll have two tabletops to fill with small works and prints. The fire has been lit.
Good thing I got my naps out of my system! I'll post more as I get more info about it.
So the weekend is busy, record commissions and doing sketches for a client's custom footwear...and more small painting.

I also started an IG account for my active boy Tuco...because he's cute and it's funny. My other cats will make appearances here and there but he is the ham of the family. You can follow his adventures as a studio cat @tucothestudiocat
Up early about to do all the things and work out-my blood pressure has been great lately. I made a gluten free peach crisp and was naughty and had to have vanilla ice cream with it last night. 😳 So its payback time at the gym. Juggling health, work, personal art career and cats...maybe Im more productive than I give myself credit for! 😛😂 
Have a great Caturday!

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
