Studio Lock Down!

"Roly, Poly, Rolled"  3" x 3" (3) acrylic, krylon on canvas

I have somehow lost track of time. I have a deadline to have new works completed on the 17th but had some commissions pop up that needed to be done so I could pay rent. I also had an opportunity to try and enter into a show called 3 x 3 and heard about it practically the day before deadline day and whipped up this creation (above) to see if it would be fruitful. Add into the mix a little personal time mourning the loss of my friend and trying to visit with friends to assuage the pain and my time is quickly ticking away to get new work done. Today I finish the last commission and get down to serious business...new works for the show. Nothing will get in my way! All commissions on hold till after the 17th! Please! Being busy in my studio will help immensely with dealing with this recent loss. I also have the opportunity to get my work published into a catalog so I'm going to squeeze that into the week as well- aside from that I'm not going out anywhere, no fun, no outings, no dj gigs, no nothing except STUDIO. PAINTING. STUDIO. PAINTING. 
The September issue of Origin magazine did NOT have my art feature in it and I'm trying to figure out what happened, maybe it got bumped to next month? I'll keep you posted.
Went out and got some more canvas yesterday so I think I'm stocked for the rest of 2012, a few more 24" x 24"s and a giant 30" x 40" and my body of work will be looking pretty healthy.
Ok, time to get crackin' on the busiest week ever. Hope the week brings much productivity and smiles. Please. I need them.

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...

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...

Everything in it's place

One of photographer Franks Lopez's vintage cameras Last week was a whirlwind of deadlines, bus trips and fun...all culminating in an art show on Saturday night and two glasses of celebratory wine for all my efforts. I had set a goal for three new vinyl works  to be done in about a week and actually made that happen (actually make that 4!). Normally 3 new vinyl pieces would be nothing for me to do in a week but I had challenged myself to work outside my realm of expertise and delve into the world of LED lights, epoxy, drills, bolts and other fascinating construction. The end result is that I can now push my vinyl creations further - the finished piece was well received! Sales were made and sales are pending and a whole new crowd has been exposed to my work. YAY!  I found myself modeling for local photographer Frank Lopez last week and was thrilled because I like his work very much. He was doing "tintypes" and I got to see the whole process in action as well as ex...
