Hit Random and Win Win Situations!

What do Bjork and I have in common besides being tiny? (she's 5' 4")

We're both all magazine worthy thats what! I'm sure anyone that reads this blog is on my facebook page so I won't get all Miss USA on ya.
But the big news yesterday was that I AM IN! In the Origin Magazines September issue that is...and not ME but my ART which is super exciting to an artist...to have your work seen outside of your city? It's a great feeling! Origin Magazine is a national Art+Conscious Lifestyle magazine that is sold at Whole Foods all over the nation. 
The World of Traceable Ghosts
This is the piece that won us into the magazine! I'm super psyched to see it PRINTED in beautiful color! The official announcement goes out today but I was notified yesterday and wanted to share the good news. I could not have done it without EVERY single one of you that voted, shared,campaigned and supported me. I felt like I was annoying every one and I probably was (sorry!) but I had to do everything in my power to try and try hard. As an artist with NO GALLERY REPRESENTATION it is really hard to open doors and sometimes you just have to knock, knock, knock, peek in windows and do some kicking. No one else is going to do that for me. Unfortunately artists have to be their own "salespeople" sometimes and it's not always the way we prefer to be....but necessary to survival.
But I digress, winning is more fun with others....
After the contest was pretty much over I declared a little contest of my own to thank the people who voted for me. Every single one of you is AWESOME! I declared a random number drawing of two people (Ive made it 3 cause I like that number) from the votes. The winners will be getting a SIGNED PRINT of this painting. I'm getting it professionally shot next week and can print soon after. The winners will receive the prints by July 31st. And without further ado....the winners....
(random number generator from random.org  by clicking the LIKES on my piece I was seeing a list of everyone who clicked by patiently counting from top to bottom that was everyones assigned number spot)
NUMBER 41..........Keith Renard
NUMBER 231..........Walt Brown
NUMBER 7..........April Dixon Tardy
I wish I could give signed prints to all 238 of you! I do keep a thoughtful list in my brain and the people who were really gunning, reposting, sharing and rallying will most likely be getting something special as well. I can't thank everyone ENOUGH! I feel so blessed and full of gratitude for my friends, family and support network. YOU WON THIS! I am thankful for YOU!
*special thanks to Jennifer Berger for breaking the news to Oak Cliff that their little native is going National! Check the SCOOP!

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...

It's the little things...

I will eventually get back to posting about art 😂 but I lost my first pound with just 3 days of dedicating myself to Metabolic Renewal...and this is me playing fast and loose because A. I did not buy their shakes I'm doing my own. So I don't really know their caloric/nutrition value vs mine. B. Getting 10,000 steps a day on my pedometer.... doesn't happen. That's almost two hours of walking a day. I get 8,000 or 9,000 before the Texas heat or work calls it off. C. Haven't followed any of the meal recipes. I've been winging it with good sense. I will get closer to their instructions in time ( like maybe next week) since I paid for it. My body is SORE AF. It's totally getting put through the paces and I'm lucky there are modifications for pudgy newbies like me. But 1st lb down is a good feeling because seeing the scale move down is what I'm after. I'm pretty proud of myself for yesterday in general..did my workout, a walking session THEN WENT ...

The calm during the storm

Fist Pumps! Cool rainy weather has hit Dallas. Just in time for the opening of the State Fair of Texas and Oktoberfest...which I just happened to be at yesterday by happenstance. Oktoberfest that is, not the Fair. No, I did not have any bier. I did have a fun time walking around between biergartens and weiner dog races in the rain with good company though! I had to drop off my piece "FLOURISH" to a place in McKinney Tx called ORISONS who will be having a gallery walk in a few weeks. There were a lot of people down there for the festivities so they wanted the work to show off to all the traffic. It's been quite a week(end) and I just wanted to pop off a blog to say thanks to everyone who has been supporting by coming to the shows and making purchases and just high fiving me on facebook, etc. THANKS SO MUCH! I've been working my tail off in the studio- that's the part you don't see...but hopefully you can see it in my work when it's done. All the t...
