Smile Smile Smile

Packing up the brushes later because it's going to be one of those weekends....

Here's a brief rundown of why I will be run down come Sunday evening. It starts like now and let me preface by saying I woke up at 3:30 am and tried to get back to sleep until 5am when I decided it wasn't happening and got up.
  • 5:30 am- COFFEE (its going to be a two cupper)
  • shower, breakfast, round up paints and supplies and promo material for my work day at Art Con warehouse
  • work on totem until it's time to go work at Art Con warehouse
  • work at Art Con warehouse (4-5 hours is what I'm expecting)
  • back home to stretch my back out for 30 minutes and then pop back up and work on totem
  • dinner
  • work on totem, finish totem before I can....
  • SLEEP (for a few hours)
  • up early on Sunday to scrabble some stuff together for my booth, repack my paints and supplies so I can work in my booth and not lose time
  • get to Bishop Arts at 10am to install my totem, set up booth
  • work in my booth all day on Sunday
COLLAPSE
I plan on not doing a damn thing on Monday. I won't be going out for like a week. I need my bed and no paintbrushes in my hand for like one day.
But through it all I am going to smile and breathe and breathe and smile. I got myself into all this after all. I just wish my back hadn't clicked out- it's really the only reason I'm kind of grumpy. That and waking up at 3:30 am. :/ GRR!

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...

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...

Digital Vacation

  Have you looked around and discovered you have filled your life with bad habits? If you said NO- good for you, you might not be human! 😁  I was experiencing a major BLAH and it was all because of ME. What I spent time on, consumed, did and did not do. I also felt like the willpower I used to have in abundance was gone and I wondered if I would ever get it back.  First and foremost I had to look at my main bad habits. What was the very first thing I did every day. EVERY DAY! I reached for my phone, I social media blitzed my brain over two long cups of coffee every morning. I made sure to look at my MEMORIES like it was my job every day. Ruminating on the past and seeing everyone's angry opinions and celebrity/political posts and regurgitated memes ad nauseum....is actually not a very optimistic and healthy way for me to cruise into the day. Not only is this not good for my spirit it wasted almost two hours of every morning. 💀 That's precious time!  I'm weaning mys...
