The Path of Attraction... and things becoming REALZ

"The Path of Attraction" acrylic/krylon on canvas 24" x 24"

My newest piece was finally revealed last night at Kettle Art Gallery in Deep Ellum. This along with my two NATURE GRAFF pieces and some small 12" x 12"s and that should give people a taste of what I'm up to right now. The show was great and I got to show with a few of my peeps like Brian Hamm and Micheal Broussard. Both talented local artists you should check their work out. The show will be up this month so trek down and see it!

Today I get my works back from Kessler and try to figure out where to put the musical totem again. I spent the past 3 days revamping my studio. SERIOUSLY. 3 DAYS!!! It's not a very big room but man oh man was it a MESS! I couldn't even work on anything until I had it sorted out because my brain wouldn't wrap itself around anything in that clutter. So I'm pleased to say ITS DONE! My studio is fresh and organized!

Don't tell my cats I added a PLANT when they weren't looking! Tiny painting by BlueSkySunburn

Books + Spray Paint+ CDs +Bear on Wood by Nix Johnson

Loved this New Year card my sis sent me, Munny Box+ shipping supplies+ fancy pussycats+mushroom lights

where every day starts! my band got to open for Fugazi back in the day so that print is one of my prized posessions, reminder I'm a bass player, I'm a bass player......

OMG what is that? That weird organizational tool called a Calendar (thanks sis!) is going to be implemented this year! Hell yeah it's all fancy CUPCAKES! Balance that sweet fat stuff with my running number to remind me to get my butt out there and RUN! Other artists in my studio get some love: Robert Hold Photography, ARTBOT138 and Diablo Texas.

Organizized! Canvases stacked, glues and adhesives put in one spot and cd crates got turned into stacking mini shelves to hold all my little tools of the trade.

A discontinued heater serves a new purpose, my plant and brush holder, unicorn harborer and displayer of my Dads quote...."ENJOY THE LIFE"

Thanks for taking a little trip through my studio!

So now if you have a calendar pull out your red pen because I finally have a date on my big summer show!!! JULY 11-AUG 9, 2013 the details need to be fleshed out but expect all new work from me at a wonderful gallery here in Dallas called WAAS GALLERY

I have about 6 months to make a lot of awesome and I'm going to be super busy getting this all together. How exciting! Theres other amazing stuff happening as well but I'll wait till I see green lights before I start blabbing but it involves my work flying out of Big D and to another major city but hush hush keep it down now and all that jazz.

Have a great Friday!

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...

It's the little things...

I will eventually get back to posting about art 😂 but I lost my first pound with just 3 days of dedicating myself to Metabolic Renewal...and this is me playing fast and loose because A. I did not buy their shakes I'm doing my own. So I don't really know their caloric/nutrition value vs mine. B. Getting 10,000 steps a day on my pedometer.... doesn't happen. That's almost two hours of walking a day. I get 8,000 or 9,000 before the Texas heat or work calls it off. C. Haven't followed any of the meal recipes. I've been winging it with good sense. I will get closer to their instructions in time ( like maybe next week) since I paid for it. My body is SORE AF. It's totally getting put through the paces and I'm lucky there are modifications for pudgy newbies like me. But 1st lb down is a good feeling because seeing the scale move down is what I'm after. I'm pretty proud of myself for yesterday in general..did my workout, a walking session THEN WENT ...
