Cat scratch fever and why did the animal cross the road?

Spend any inordinate amount of time on facebook and you'll see a lot of this....only it's in printed format on a computer screen. I wonder if this would be so prevalent in person with face to face confrontations?

I had this picture up as my profile picture for awhile because I really identify with that little guy who doesn't want to hang in that herd back there and is going to cross the street and do his own thing. Maybe hitchhike or go eat daisies in someones garden. Either way he is not down with a big group, clique, herd... and has his own thoughts about what suits him. I have never had good experiences with large groups that all think the same thing and think you should too. 
And when I log onto facebook first thing in the morning with my cup of coffee in hand I liken it to opening my front door to see how the day is, whats the weather, how are my friends? If I get run over immediately by a big ol' POLITICAL turd post (umm, repeatedly) I block you from my newsfeed. How about a good morning? You repeat political posters DO KNOW your "hobby" is posting on facebook to people who already subscribe to your idealogy or don't, right?  And the ones who don't... AREN'T going to be swayed. So the point is? Get a journal. Get a garden. Have something to show at the end of the day for your labors...a new tomato plant or a lasagna you baked. You probably like the fun of fighting so maybe a ROCK EM SOCK EM ROBOT set would be something to put on your list to Santa (PLEASE!!!).
 Just a thought!
On the flipside of that I can just not log in first thing in the A.M to become nauseated  before I've even had my Wheaties.

    I had an epiphany last night: Facebook is like dealing with EVERYONE you know....EVERY SINGLE DAY! While that's desirable with some people...others, not so much. :)

    I've de-herded myself a lot lately. In some respects....it feels good.

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...

The Age of Upgrade

BIG BATCH OF HAND PAINTED WAX FOR SAN FRANCISCO I wanted to do a  blog about the upgrade I'm doing and why. Because I am an artist and not a business person I have been lax on so many things I shouldn't have been and caused myself a lot of headaches. This was a year of growing pains for my business and days before my birthday I decided my new age of 39 would be one of grand changes. For starters...I'm typing this on an old Android phone. It's the only equipment I have. My old Mac finally gave up the ghost and I can no longer do any graphic designing in Photoshop or even save files. This will need to be upgraded, I need a computer. Let's talk about vinyl though...I started doing the vinyl about 6 years ago and they were pretty basic novice attempts at painting on vinyl. After many experiments, failures and tons of practice... I have brought them into their own. They started as $30 discs and climbed as I got better. I marked everything DOWN to $50 this year...
