Killing June

"Fin and Feather"

Just finished this piece for the COLORIMETRY show at WAAS GALLERY. I have another large canvas to complete then I'm focusing on some small affordables and that will be the last push because....it's almost time! EEK! There's been some great PR on the event so far and I'm waiting for my stress to kick in. Right now I'm in strangely calm zone....for someone who isn't done with her work and has chaos falling in all around her, this is weird. Maybe this is zen? Maybe I have discovered there's nothing I can do any faster or magically and this is what it is and am okay with that? Or maybe I'm in for a delayed freak out any day now? I guess we'll see!
Today I'm ordering printed fabric and starting on the large canvas but since the secrets out on facebook I wanted to post it here too. The collaboration I have been talking about is with renowned graffiti artist SONER and we will be debuting it at the COLORIMTERY show. If you're not familiar with SONER he has some work at the Dallas Contemporary thru August, go check it out! He's also left his mark all over the nation and I was super psyched to get the chance to work with him on canvas.

The other artist I'm exhibiting with is Neil Matthiessen. His work ranges from printed digital pieces to vinyl installations. I'm excited to see this show put together and am feeling really good about this show
I, of course, have some other little nice surprises to show -like what fashion designer am I working with on what amazing little project? So many things you'll have to come to the show and see firsthand! Ok, gotta run and get some painting done. Have a great week!

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...
