Up Down Turn Around Please Don't Let Me Hit The Ground

"Path of Nurturing" has just been SOLD AND COLLECTED

Wonderful and smart people are taking me up on my sweet offer to do PAYMENT PLANS so you can collect art. Just sold this large canvas to a collector who will have three of my pieces now and her home is beautiful, this painting will love it's new home! : )
This blog was almost entitled YEAR OF THE SNAKE SSSSSSSUCKSSSSSSS but it sounded really negative and I have nothing against little snakes. They can't help it if my world is being turned upside down and inside out in every which way possible. Some of the stuff I can't go into as it's a delicate matter but let's just say where I am is about to physically change soon and I can elaborate more when things settle however they get settled. I will say it is an absolute shock and kick to the balls if I had any. That being said I've had time to reflect on the weird disappointing actions of another and decided....that's life and that's humans for ya. Change is the one constant in this world and I'm definitely getting a spoonful of that shoved in my mouth. C'est la vie as the French say. Do they say that? I have no idea.
But onward to the positive stuff, I am refusing to let another persons negative actions make me lose focus in a crucial point in time for me. CRUNCH TIME for the gallery showing at WAAS. I have mere weeks to get everything done and a few more canvases to go. Just polished off some work on a dyptych piece that is a collaboration between me and an artist about town who is making waves. Pretty thrilled with how it's coming together and will be debuting this joint work at WAAS Gallery next month. This thing measures a sweet 8 feet by 4 feet! So fun working large again!
All the pieces have been under wraps and I'm shooting for at least 15 works in the show so it's busy time in the hive with no wiggle room for fun right now. 
Last week was insane with me getting a huge wake up call - my darling little firstborn kitty Bell Cat (aka Troll Cat) almost died and had to be rushed to emergency hospital where the vet shook his head at us and said "this is probably not going to turn out well". Well, being the little magical beast she is- a true little warrior- she pulled through and is now back to her rightful position running the house. She has diabetes though and learning to care for her properly has been confusing, scary and exhausting. Giving a cat injections is stressful. :(
Needless to say this has all been very expensive for the girl without much of an income who is dealing with her own health ailments. So selling that painting above has been a true blessing. Have I caught you up on the craziness that is my life? I think so. Hopefully in the next blog I can spill more interesting secrets for you to snicker at over your morning coffee. Until then- appreciate what you have!

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...
