Teeth are dumb and other funky things

Today is interview day!

I seriously haven't done an interview in about a year or so. I've been lucky leap frogging into one awesome freelance job to another and meeting fun good peeps along the way. Nevertheless I'm not going to get all sweaty and nervous about this. I'm actually feeling confident- not just in my experience for the position but in my life in general as an artist. The commissions are still coming in, there is work to do that people want me for. Opportunities are popping up at every corner. There is a LOT to do, who could ever be bored or lazy?
Not me! Not me I say!
Last night found me crawling around on giant wine barrels hanging my show at the Wine Therapist. I think it looks pretty darn good. It did make me wonder how Donkey Kong was able to throw those things because those barrels are pretty solid and heavy! Donkey Kong deserves more props for his strength. Hanging an art show was no easy feat either, luckily I had wonderful help and I'm looking forward to the art event which I made a little facebook invite for.

In other news, the tooth I spent so much money on because it had abcessed has decided to play dirty again. It has flared up painfully and had me shaking my fist at dentists who don't fix things right the first time...or second time....and drain your bank account. I can officially not afford to go to the dentist so I'm doing things all heathen style- garlic, tea compresses, otc pain meds and rinses. Today the swelling seems to have gone down. I was worried I would be interviewing with a big fat chipmunk cheek today, thank you tooth fairy for small favors.
Anyway- it feels WEIRD to have all my art gone from my house. AGH! WHITE WALLS! AGH! NO RECORDS!  Seems a good time to tidy everything up and start fresh and clean. Commissions are waiting and an opportunity to put some stuff in a local shop have my mind ready to gear up for new projects. But for now....what the heck does one wear to an interview?

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...
