Week one, week two

 

Portrait of a gal at work

I like to mark the passing of the first week of the new year and what got accomplished. I stretched every day and did work on my plantar fasciitis and the weird tight painful spot in my shoulder that's been plaguing me for over a year... And lo and behold it feels like I'm healing. Focus on healing, put effort into healing and see the gains of your effort. Where you put your effort is where you see your gains and it's true in various aspects of your life as well.

When I focus on Woodwork and selling Woodwork- I see sales in that department. If I focus on art and prints, I see sales and opportunities in that department. Channel your efforts and see where your gains start coming. 
Week one was healing and rehab and it will continue. I also am being strategic about THINGS THAT DON'T WORK and getting those things fixed. Case in point- this old dryer I've been dealing with for about a year that's taken like three or four cycles to dry one load. 😐 I let that go on for a year. It started taking ALL DAY to dry one load and also leaving my clothes damp and smelly so FINALLY the landlord was called up and now that's fixed. Me being too nice and not wanting to make a fuss for the landlord caused me much misery. So the lesson is JUST TAKE CARE OF IT. Nip it in the bud, address it, fix it. So week one was also GET IT FIXED. 
Now it's week two and the focus is on starting my workout routine today to go along with the stretches. I am also going to paint finally, world be damned! Putting in my efforts to see my gains in the health department, time to put all the Christmas chocolates in the freezer 😁 
Hope your New Year is under your control!

So what's the Scenario?

Street Artist 'My Dog Sighs' Paints Faces on Cans Found Littered on the Street I found this interesting art on Pinterest and thought it would be a good example for a proposed scenario.....indulge me if you will.... The scenario is this....this street artist paints on cans. Pretty cool right? Pretty neat! He's probably not the only one who paints on cans in the world but he most likely is the only one in his little neck of the woods and art circle. Ok, let's pretend I invite this CAN painter to be in this big group show we do annually at my gallery. (This is pretend land, I dont have a gallery but roll with me...)  Ok, he is a hit, everyone thinks his can faces are awesome and he's considered pretty unique for doing this medium in our little art circle. Ok fast forward into the future....it's a year later and it's time for our big annual show...here's the scenario....we don't invite the CAN artist to come show again BUT we do hand out a can ...

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...

Digital Vacation

  Have you looked around and discovered you have filled your life with bad habits? If you said NO- good for you, you might not be human! 😁  I was experiencing a major BLAH and it was all because of ME. What I spent time on, consumed, did and did not do. I also felt like the willpower I used to have in abundance was gone and I wondered if I would ever get it back.  First and foremost I had to look at my main bad habits. What was the very first thing I did every day. EVERY DAY! I reached for my phone, I social media blitzed my brain over two long cups of coffee every morning. I made sure to look at my MEMORIES like it was my job every day. Ruminating on the past and seeing everyone's angry opinions and celebrity/political posts and regurgitated memes ad nauseum....is actually not a very optimistic and healthy way for me to cruise into the day. Not only is this not good for my spirit it wasted almost two hours of every morning. 💀 That's precious time!  I'm weaning mys...
