Wings!

So many little updates and changes to post about!
First I want to say that the Project 7x7 show has been pushed back a little so please pull out the ol' calendar again and mark JUNE 1 as the new event -this will allow the show to be up a little longer for everyone to see the work. I hope you can make it out! All the artists work are so diverse and it will be exciting to see the completed collaborative pieces in person. Project 7x7 are running little spotlight features on each artist and I'm up right now, check out : Project 7x7 FEATURED ARTIST
In other news, I'm going to get a little taste of what it was like to be a kid again. SUMMER VACATION! At least a month of it. I'm finishing up a project at work and after next week I'll have some free time to work on building up my own arsenal of paintings to start aiming at galleries and competitions. A little much needed downtime from the ladder is welcome right now. I also have high hopes of cleaning this damn house and ....hanging  around outside in my backyard...a little pleasure I have missed! Downtime while freelancing is the nature of the business so luckily I have saved up a little cash to weather me through. Its no exotic vacation but it will feel excellent to work on my paintings :)
I will definitely have to do some day hiking and exploring in this gorgeous weather. If you're itching to get your drawing bug scratched I suggest you head over to Dr. Sketchy's tomorrow at La Grange for the May Comic Book Pin Up Session featuring Taffeta Darling. I have provided the tunes that will be wafting through the air. Check out the event here: https://www.facebook.com/events/364352266935767/
 A beautiful weekend ahead and I hear sushi is in my forecast...have a great weekend amigos!

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...

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...

Ride Your Ride Your Ride

my bike Tuco, named after the Ugly One in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Lifes little surprises never cease to amaze me. I'm not exactly sure how to tell this story but I will try. A few weeks ago my Mom says she was digging around in an old dresser and found this little funny package. The package was flat and made from beer boxes, cut and taped together and a little over 12" x 12" big. On it was my Dads handwriting stating what was inside. RECORDS! And not just any records but records I had wondered what had happened to because I knew my Dad really liked them....FATS DOMINO! He had taken care and written the names of the records for safe keeping. Now they are mine to cherish.  It was like a little gift from the other side...which sometimes doesn't feel very far away. In fact most days it feels like my Dad is still right here with me. With Fathers Day happening this weekend he has been on my mind more than usual.  So yesterday I was a little surprised to ge...
