The Entertainer

These were some older,tiny paintings I did...well- 12" x 12" each (not too tiny) and I loved what I was exploring here and wouldn't mind incorporating some of the old elements into my work again.
I've been thinking about my work lately and the kind of disconnect that comes over you when you have to assume the role of "maker".
Like having to produce for vending events totally makes me feel like a "maker" of things and less like an artist. And it's been a very long while since I've felt connected to the art of art.
This feeling coupled with being broke even despite my "making of things" , the holidays and another year turning over...well, its made me grumpy cat. Honestly.
And constantly showing up on Facebook as the class clown, cracking jokes,making others laugh- meanwhile my life is on fire and no one bothers to share my business posts or buy a print to help a sister out.
 Because I am the class clown.
Im only supposed to be the entertainer. No one cares about that other show...the real show, the sad show.
So I closed the curtains yesterday. Shows done for awhile. My life is on fire and Im going to tend to it.
I have a zillion things to do to try to save myself this month and staying off Facebook will give me some time back to accomplish things.
Reconnecting to art. Planning my new works, researching and really internalizing some new art I plan to produce.
I don't think anyone reads this blog unless I link it to Facebook and I'm not gonna link it so if you're reading this..hello friend. Yes, you found me.

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...

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...

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...
