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...

Taming the monster

What started as me deciding to spend 30 minutes picking out clothes to donate from my closet .. Turned into about 2 hours of folding t shirts, jeans and deciding winter was far enough away that all sweaters and coats could be packed away. My closet was a walk-in diaster. My cat had lived in it all winter, knocked stuff down, slept on it, fuzzed up clothes and built forts. No lie.  I had been living in the same two pairs of jeans and 5 shirts off my bedroom floor (closet #2 😂). First things first, all the T shirts from OLD JOBS were the first to get put in donation pile. I don't need memories of "that place" and they were all too small, waaay too large or tan/beige/grey ..all the wrong unhappy colors that just say JOB when you look at them. Bye! So that happened yesterday. Major project that still needs work but for now it is peaceful enough to my brain to leave it alone. I have two large loads of laundry to do because my clothes look like...well like a cat has been sleep...

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...
