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!

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...
