Delivery Day, Deadlines, Etc

yeah, yeah, yeah.....i'm super busy. what's new?

I have to remember to keep gas in my tank so I can keep on going today. Way too much to do but hopefully FOCUSING will get me to my goals. Yesterdays plans were a bit derailed by an impromptu beauty day. I had signed up to be a hair model at the salon my friend works at and thought I was getting a cut and out the door to work again but it turned out I was lavished with the works! Color and cut AND a manicure by my favoritest manicurist, Lydia Johns! In a nutshell I feel like a brand new girl again, even if I didn't get much done in the painting department.
It happens. And no way am I passing up an opportunity to get spiffy on the cheap/free!
New hair cut and color! Lovely new manicure by Lydia Johns! Color: Charisma by Zoya

Dropped of the Harajuku vinyl art to Lydia and with the completion of ONE more her walls will look pretty sweet! Today is the drop date for the Bowie show. As of right now I have 2 finished and one waiting on the worktable to be painted. Can I do it?! Can I also cram in a graphic design project thats due tomorrow before I have to go trekking today? I'm gonna try to be Wonder Woman!
Turned in my bio and art to ORIGIN magazine today and it's starting to become more of a reality. I'm super excited to see my painting printed! I've been getting lots of great feedback on the new Bowie records and finished bolting and adding hanging attachments to the light up piece last night. Today I set the lights and find it a comfortable way to travel with me. Blah blah blah...all the stuff I'm writing about I should be doing. Like....now.
Have a great day, see you when I land and next week...more art plunging talk to keep you on track!

(Love the idea of a non toxic manicure? A mango scrub for your feet and a very affordable mani/pedi? Please visit Lydia's page and support small business! Plus she's super sweet!)

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...
