Friday is relevant to my interests

"Mad for Merlot" acrylic/krylon on vinyl record $65 for VINO and VINYL at Wine Therapist 9/28

Happy Friday everyone! I'm in the thick of painting records so I'm going to make this short....oh yeah I have a graphic design deadline today too. YIKES! Monday is the deadline to turn in all my artwork for Wine Therapist. YIKES! Tuesday I have a job interview....wait hold the presses, that's right I said job interview. What's funny is how when I post I'm interviewing for a job everyone cheers and high fives and I appreciate that, I really do. But don't you know I'm doing the best job in the world right now painting my heart out and offering my skills up for everyones use? Unfortunately the world doesn't value that as highly as it should. It's not like it was back in Michelangelos day... where if you had artistic skills you were highly sought after and regarded. Artists really are thought of as slackers these days. People WANT you to be working somewhere. Kind of amazing but I digress...so yes, an interview that I only applied for because it was relevant to my interests

I'm sure my friends are just high fiving the prospect of me having more money, right? RIGHT!

I'll post more about the job if I get it, I totally have the mindset that if it's meant to be so be it and if not so be it as well. I am 2 years in to working for myself, just me and my little paintbrushes doing our thing. However I'm also just about out of cash. The job would be part time which is necessary for me to continue working on my art AND it is in the art field which is awesome. So we'll see what happens! In the meantime, work, work, work on paintings and going where your heart takes you.

HAPPY FRIDAY!

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...
