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!

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...

Taming the monster

What started as me deciding to spend 30 minutes picking out clothes to donate from my closet .. Turned into about 2 hours of folding t shirts, jeans and deciding winter was far enough away that all sweaters and coats could be packed away. My closet was a walk-in diaster. My cat had lived in it all winter, knocked stuff down, slept on it, fuzzed up clothes and built forts. No lie.  I had been living in the same two pairs of jeans and 5 shirts off my bedroom floor (closet #2 😂). First things first, all the T shirts from OLD JOBS were the first to get put in donation pile. I don't need memories of "that place" and they were all too small, waaay too large or tan/beige/grey ..all the wrong unhappy colors that just say JOB when you look at them. Bye! So that happened yesterday. Major project that still needs work but for now it is peaceful enough to my brain to leave it alone. I have two large loads of laundry to do because my clothes look like...well like a cat has been sleep...

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...
