Good vibrations

Finally off work and have 5 days to be selfish! If you consider painting, organizing the fridge and entryway selfish. 😂
I'm actually excited to tackle these TO DOs on my list because I'm getting addicted to crossing them off when they're accomplished
I'm one of those weirdo types who can't start painting in my studio unless the dishes have been done and there's not a mess waiting to be tackled. So mindful cleaning and slowly putting my house in order has been good for me and my creativity. So far the washroom ( in my photo up there) has been done-and turned into my inspiring greenhouse. The kitchen got sorted (still need to do pantry and fridge), my dining room got a little refresh since that's where I like to practice my stretches and meditation with cats. The living room got refreshed and my studio is also basically clean (but could use a proper shelving system). And the bathroom was my latest victory and makes me happy to see it. Hell, if I have to spend half the day washing my hands because of viruses it better be in a nice clean bathroom 😂
Bedroom and closet are last on my list and not for this holiday weekend. It's time to paint and I cannot wait!
Also hoping the ground gets dry enough to play some disc golf but not complaining about the rain. It's a welcome friend in the midst of this dirty air, humid heat summer thing that's going on.
Not doing anything for the 4th but would like a safe visit with my mom. Haven't seen her much through this whole pandemic jazz.
I really needed this time to reset my space from the last few terrible months of illness, virus, death memories and put some positive, healthy, good spirit vibes and living plants in my space.  Now to put some life renewing art vibrations into my house again.
Have a happy 4th of July weekend and celebrate safely 🌞❤️

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...
