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!

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...

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...

Everything in it's place

One of photographer Franks Lopez's vintage cameras Last week was a whirlwind of deadlines, bus trips and fun...all culminating in an art show on Saturday night and two glasses of celebratory wine for all my efforts. I had set a goal for three new vinyl works  to be done in about a week and actually made that happen (actually make that 4!). Normally 3 new vinyl pieces would be nothing for me to do in a week but I had challenged myself to work outside my realm of expertise and delve into the world of LED lights, epoxy, drills, bolts and other fascinating construction. The end result is that I can now push my vinyl creations further - the finished piece was well received! Sales were made and sales are pending and a whole new crowd has been exposed to my work. YAY!  I found myself modeling for local photographer Frank Lopez last week and was thrilled because I like his work very much. He was doing "tintypes" and I got to see the whole process in action as well as ex...
