Published! Work Week Forecast...

 I'm a calendar girl....Miss June to be exact! And I got to keep my clothes on!
2013 Fine Art in Dallas engagement calendar by CITYARTCAL

It's been an eventful month! Just closed up ART CON 8 on Saturday after DJing Cirque de la Musique at GALLERY AT MIDTOWN where I snagged my copies of the 2013 FINE ART IN DALLAS engagement calendar. What it is:
an engagement calendar featuring a TON of local artists work printed in full color beautyousness along with a little bit about the artist and how to contact them. An asset for the serious art afficionado who wants to do more than sip wine at a local art opening...the BUYERS of art! I'm super psyched to be included and extend my many thanks to CITYARTCAL and Andrea Davis for making it happen. It was because I was in this book that Orisons Fine Art in McKinney contacted me about showing with them. You just never know how one opportunity will lead to another.
Art Con 8 was fun and bustling, it was interesting to see what was being bid on and for how much. Seems like people really like portraits in this town. Interesting, interesting. My piece went for $150 and was snagged by an amigo (Diablo Texas!) so I'm glad it's getting a good home and fetched some charity money while still leaving some beer money in Mr. Diablos bank account.

Since I've been rolling full throttle with social engagements and tons of deadlines I'm thrilled that I got to delete all the stuff to do, be at -from my TO DO LIST. It's looking nice and bare -the way I like it sometimes. : D It means I can work on my stuff at long last!
Got some commissions to work on and a couple of vinyl pieces for this Fridays showing at Tyler Street Salons grand opening party. I'm also picking up my Munny (vinyl toy) so I can get cracking on the Show Me The Munny show coming up next month. Tomorrow I meet with an interested gallery and if this little secret thing I got wind of on Friday actually happens- I'll reveal what that is. 
Heres a little shot of this blank vinyl toy I got at Micheals for about $4. Im experimenting on my first vinyl toy and applying sculpey. It's a tricky little thing and I'm just using this guy as a sounding board before I start on my real MUNNY. 
backside, he's shaking his butt at you!

Yeah seems a good photo to leave off with! HA HA!

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...
