Swimsuit Edition!

Welcome June! Welcome Summer! I see you tearing through my curtains with your fiery orange beams, trying to get me into my bikini and to the pool. This seemed a fairly innocent way to get people to read my blog....posting a sexy Brigitte Bardot in a bikini and entitling it "swimsuit edition". Got you here didn't it? Tsk Tsk you naughty readers! :)

Just wrapped up an art opening at RISING GALLERY on Friday and was so pleased to meet some new people and reconnect with some friends I hadn't seen in awhile. All the art was fantastic and it was nice to see the work in person. Every one of the Project 7 x 7 collaborations were auctioned off and went to new homes while raising money for Alley's House. I got excellent feedback on my work and newest pieces.

I also learned that if the Flaming Lips are in town almost 90% of your friends will probably be there. Remind me to not die and have a funeral while those dudes are in town. Wow! I am impressed with their rulership! I met a new friend who brought me a whole carload of vinyl records to paint on! Woohoo! I AM STOCKED!
My wonderful friend James Garrett  (Artbot 138) showed up and bid and won two pieces! Way to go art collector! I was then able to go see his collection the next day, he has the most impressive collection of R2D2's in all the land. Seriously. He also owns a couple of my pieces and I got to wave hi to them too
I was feeling a bit under the weather by Saturday evening, maybe just too much work, running around trying to get everything ready, working out hardcore and throwing stuff like bubblegum root beer and chocolate shakes in my tank. :-/  My body had a major meltdown and I could barely move with exhaustion and feverishness. Today I am feeling much better and have stocked up on whole foods, veggies, fruits and such.
Furries at AKON
I still need to upload the few photos I took at AKON- I was wanting to spend more time there this weekend but wasn't feeling so hot. I did manage to take an amazing photo of these guys though. And because you probably came here looking for swimsuits and possible little droids, I present you with a most awesome swimsuit:
Was I lying? WOW!
I unfortunately broke the bikini top on my bikini last year. (Don't ask, don't worry no kids got to see my buoys at the pool thank goodness!) So I'm now on the hunt for a new one. I have a nice retro bikini but it's not really for swimming in so much as it's a vintage poly material that is hot (sweaty not sexy). Looks great BY the pool and at fun Luaus though
ALOHA! See there was bikini payoff in the end! Have a fantastic start to the summer, SPF it up! I'll bring back more arty fun with my sunburn tomorrow!

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
