Pain Tour 2012!

Wow what a wild time it's been these last two weeks. My body has decided to FLIP out and wreak havoc and show me the extent of human suffering in multiple facets. THANKS BODY! I was even feeding you expensive organic blueberries and this is what I get? :/
Last weeks horrible abdominal pains have led me to make an appointment (read $$$ appointment) at my doctors office on Monday morning to get some tests done for PCOS...polycystic ovarian syndrome, respectively. The pains have subsided just enough to focus on the other wonderful thing thats been going on....my old friend TOOTHIE decided to abcess on me out of the blue and I can't even explain in words the amount of horrendous suffering that is. Even vicodin didn't touch the pain and in fact I woke up nauseous and puked because the pain was so intense. EW! Sorry. I should have warned you I was going to write like a 12 year old boy.
A trip to the dentist yesterday revealed that a tooth that already had a root canal done and was crowned now needs to be retreated this very morning. Root Canal Part 2 electric boogaloo! Breaking through my crown I paid lots of money for to clean the site and get rid of the infection that is now seeped into my face spaces. I have  a puffy left cheek which is no bueno.
Dental surgery at 8am. Missing 2 days of work on my last week. $1, 600 estimate on todays procedure. No insurance. No work next month.
Am I a happy camper?
Maybe after this tooth is fixed I'll be a slightly happier camper and can figure out the $$$ end of things with a clear head. I know I can. Im well versed at adventures in unemployment after all.
No rest for these paintbrushes.
TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEALTH UNINSURED PEOPLES!
Me and listerine are going to be BFF's from here on out. Wish me luck- dental parties are so not fun.
(TIP: Before a procedure make sure to tell the treating doctor you have NO INSURANCE...most places will deduct 20-30% off and do payment plans. Dont forgo treatment because of no insurance, it could make things worse in time if you dont get treated)

How I had the best art year

  This was the year I got rejection letters from every open call I applied to. Granted, it wasn't very many I applied to because I am very picky about what I sign up for AND I am also very jaded about these things of late.  However, this was my best art year to date and I kinda love that it was all rejection notices this year and I STILL HAD THE BEST ART YEAR EVER. Takeaway: Today's open calls are very "agenda based" and the jurors they choose to judge have their agendas. Some want more millennials and younger artists and shun the older artists, some want you to tackle race, gender identity, politics, feminist, pro this or that.... And my art does not. I'm going to stick by  my "Nature is more important than most bullshit" stance till I die because the very atom of life and Nature is more important in my eyes than most of the stuff humans do to feel more important than another group.  But I digress! I did not get into the velvet rope clubs and it was gre

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

Year of the Dragon

  First off, Happy New Year to my blog readers! Not sure if I actually have blog readers but if I do- I wish you well! We are coming up on the Chinese Lunar New Year and it's Year of the Dragon! I jumped into the year at a crazy pace and really need to pace myself for ALL THE THINGS I'm trying to accomplish. First off it was very important to me to launch a couple things and explore some other platforms. Those being: Tiktok, Patreon and YouTube I'll go on to say that I actually did not want to do any of these. I repeat DID NOT WANT TO DO THESE.  *Didn't think I was worthy for people to pay me on Patreon and also thought creating perks for people monthly was a lot of work. So far ...IT IS A LOT OF WORK....but I am new and growing from the ground up and that's how it is. Growing pains! I'm working to learn and streamline this so it goes hand in hand with... *YouTube channel! Who actually does not enjoy seeing my weird face and voice in a video? Hi. ME. I really di
