This is pretty much a snapshot of my weekend. I've been mad hustling on painting records for the Texas Theater show this upcoming Saturday and needing to leave a day in the week to create my affordable artworks so I can start that ball rolling. In case you missed the memo- these are the last records I'm doing for awhile as I need to focus on my fine art canvas work for my upcoming show at WAAS gallery and some other opportunities that are on the radar so...SOOOOO....if you want one of these I suggest you snatch it up because I won't be painting anymore for a while. Each one will be $60 flat with a small % going to the venue. I'l be DJing that night with my friend DJ Woodtronic and there will be a drag show along with a screening of HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH! Costumes encouraged! :) Fun night yes? YES!
Finishing commissions and then jumping into wonderful, wonderful canvas works and playing with installation ideas. So much awesome going on in my world and so many great people I've got helping me achieve such things. It's a lot of work but it's work I love. I just need to remember to step away from the easel sometime and breathe, see family and friends and...eat.
This morning I had a message in my Inbox from another gallery. Ooh! A hot gallery I had sent my stuff to a while back. Not sure what it means or what will come of it but I'll take it as a good sign I don't suck, I'm right up their alley and that I'm doing exactly what I need to be doing in life- PAINTING! After so many years of never hearing anything back from galleries and suddenly getting positive responses -it makes a girl a little dizzy happy dizzy. Finally I am starting to see all this hard work pay off. Keeping hopes grounded but still smiling anyway.
Have a great start to the week and expect AFFORDABLE ART this THURSDAY via my TIGERBEE ARTS PAGE!

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...

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...
