Weekend Warrior

A ZOOMED IN CLOSEUP of a new painted record...SHHHH!

A friend of mine has been giving me hell about showing all my pieces online before the show so the rest will be zipped up tight and you'll have to come to the show to see them.  I think these would make fun prints so I'm going to try and shoot them as best as I can and see if I can have some made at some point. It would be really cool to turn them into little coasters or faux wine labels.
Oh the ideas in my head are endless!
This is Saturday- what some of you call the weekend but what I call...Saturday, another day to paint. I'm going to try to fit some fun into the weekend somewhere though. I need the exercise. I've been in my studio just about non stop- although I did hit up the Vinyl Thoughts toy show on Thursday evening to see some friends cool creations. Here are a  few shots

The Etch a Sketch Dr. Doom and Viewfinder Cyclops were made by Artbot 138, I think you've heard me give him props here before. Also my friend Ghetto Axe had some pieces in the show but my phone was running out of juice and I didn't get a shot. Check out his fb page!
Yesterday I got my acceptance letter into the 3 x 3 show! I'm psyched to see all the tiny creations and show my little doodle bugs. I hope you can make it out to the show if you're in the area
I know you can't read that tiny print but it pretty much says this is a super badass little show of little works and you should come see it. HA! Here's the facebook event invite!
Ok seriously, so much to do and it all involves paint, paintbrushes, water, flicking water off brushes, sitting hunched over in spine tingling positions for long hours with my tongue sticking out and other such fun so away I go....have a great "weekend"!

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...
