"Entanglement"

I'm up early getting ready for another doctors appointment. Thought I'd drop a quickie blog and catch up with everything. My sickie time came but luckily it didn't get so bad this time. I was all packed to go to the hospital but so far everything is staying down in my stomach where I put it. I have been having to take hydrocodone to keep the pain in check though- this sucks to me, it's hard to work and be productive when you feel kinda dizzy and out of it.
Nonetheless I did manage to finish THAT painting up there before I got ill. Started a new painting yesterday and will just keep moving forward. Time is ticking- soon it will be time for my art opening at Baylor Health Sciences Library on May 31!
Yesterday I got more injections for a job I'm going to be doing at Dallas Childrens Medical Center. I'm working on a mural with a friend and it will all have to be done at night so I'll have to switch my whole sleeping schedule and be a night owl. Doesn't that sound fun kids? Harumph- the things freelance artists have to do to put bacon on the table. I've had four immunizations just to make sure the wall I'm painting doesn't catch measles or mumps from me! HA!
I have so many paintings to create that I do not have time for not feeling well so positive thinking and pushing through it, hopefully whatever monster is inside me is either shrinking or dying or at least going away. And that's what's up with me. Painting, pain pills and getting poked.
Have a nice week everyone!

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...

The Age of Upgrade

BIG BATCH OF HAND PAINTED WAX FOR SAN FRANCISCO I wanted to do a  blog about the upgrade I'm doing and why. Because I am an artist and not a business person I have been lax on so many things I shouldn't have been and caused myself a lot of headaches. This was a year of growing pains for my business and days before my birthday I decided my new age of 39 would be one of grand changes. For starters...I'm typing this on an old Android phone. It's the only equipment I have. My old Mac finally gave up the ghost and I can no longer do any graphic designing in Photoshop or even save files. This will need to be upgraded, I need a computer. Let's talk about vinyl though...I started doing the vinyl about 6 years ago and they were pretty basic novice attempts at painting on vinyl. After many experiments, failures and tons of practice... I have brought them into their own. They started as $30 discs and climbed as I got better. I marked everything DOWN to $50 this year...
