End of the year


                                Reflection Time


 I've been MIA on here since mid September! Something freeing about not posting all my thoughts, whims, adventures and words on the daily. I know some friends have missed it. I think that is super sweet that they care. ❤️ 

Kinda going through a major life shift, not really sure what all it will entail. Life's too silly to predict. I take each day as it comes and try not to get caught up in the sticky art of "attachment" like the wise zen masters teach. Everything is impermanent. 

Since my last blog much has happened and also nothing has. I've fallen many times on the skateboard and have made peace with the act of getting hurt somewhat purposely. 😳 I got some new knee pads and hand guards. I've since picked up my bass again. I've got a new piece in a new show coming up and have been trying to be as true to myself and what I want from life as I can be. 




As we close out this crazy year I've been trying to notice each passing day and honor it. I'm trying not to paint it in the black shroud it seems to warrant. It was a hard year of hard lessons and decisions. It was a year of surviving by the skin of your teeth. Losing people and pets you love and losing yourself a little in the process. Hopefully finding some things and repairing life. I'm coming out of the year punching and feeling healthier than I have in years. This year gave me some powers. Wounded me and filled me up simultaneously. It will go down in history as a crazy year for sure. 
Wishing you all a healthy new year caring for the things that need caring and the good sense to steer your ship to your journeys proper destinations. ❤️

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...

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...

The calm during the storm

Fist Pumps! Cool rainy weather has hit Dallas. Just in time for the opening of the State Fair of Texas and Oktoberfest...which I just happened to be at yesterday by happenstance. Oktoberfest that is, not the Fair. No, I did not have any bier. I did have a fun time walking around between biergartens and weiner dog races in the rain with good company though! I had to drop off my piece "FLOURISH" to a place in McKinney Tx called ORISONS who will be having a gallery walk in a few weeks. There were a lot of people down there for the festivities so they wanted the work to show off to all the traffic. It's been quite a week(end) and I just wanted to pop off a blog to say thanks to everyone who has been supporting by coming to the shows and making purchases and just high fiving me on facebook, etc. THANKS SO MUCH! I've been working my tail off in the studio- that's the part you don't see...but hopefully you can see it in my work when it's done. All the t...
