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...

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...

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...
