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!

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...

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...

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...
