Dress: Abi Ferrin   Model : Jessica Giles   Art on Dress: Me

Just finished a charity project that was quite a challenge! I hand painted a designer dress by Abi Ferrin  that will go up for auction next month at the Art From The Heart event benefitting Dallas Challenge, which helps kids stay off drugs and stay in school. A worthy cause and one I hold close to my heart as both my brothers have fallen victim to drug addiction, I'm sad to say.
Although painting on the dress was tough I think it came out well for my first try. Thanks to my lovely niece Jessica for modeling it for me, I hope whoever wins the dress bid loves it!
I'm still moonlighting as a muralist by day, working on a giant car mural with artist Duke Horn

This thing is so big it won't fit in one shot! 

At some point soon I'll have to switch gears and focus on my own painting though, I have two shows to get ready for and need to bring my A game.
There's also an upcoming event I'm part of but I will wait till it's public news before I broadcast it. Let's just say... Things are super busy in my beehive!
I'm doing a preorder giveaway right now on my Tigerbee Arts Facebook page. Preorder a tote bag before Sunday at midnight and be entered into a raffle for some free stuff! 
What's great about preordering is you are guaranteed a special edition tote. The first run of bunny totes feature the bunnies on front and back. The next production will only feature them on the front so if you want the special first run... Preorder!
OK, I need coffee and breakfast now. Happy Saturday, don't forget to preorder!

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...

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...

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...
