Change Your Mind


After each big project I do a little cleaning of the studio. Everything gets put back in place and tidied so my brain can feel like it has a nice blank slate to work with. My place has never looked so nice! I'm going to blame jumping off Facebook for the life upgrade.
Oooh I have my brain back...and time...and focus to accomplish things again! I was a zombie for sooo long!
Because I've turned to instagram for my "expressing" I've got more art followers (but really who cares) and I'm back in the blogging game. I say "who cares" because I am OVER the social media popularity contest and have been for a loooong time. Its also one of the reasons Facebook sucks. But its great if new people like my work enough to want to follow it- that Im totally cool with.
But point of this blog was....oh yeah FOCUS AND GETTING IT DONE ✔
Turning my previously little "eh" stairwell into a little gallery.

I've been in my new place for a year and have been trying to get it in order so I can have an open studio and open for appointment. I have collectors that come by to pick up work often and I've been itching for it to look "right". I'm doing it! Yes I am! 🙌 
I also discovered that new wall spot in my dining room (second studio) so I can work on big unstretched pieces. Going bigger! Yes I am! 🙌 
Moral of the story- time is short. Jumping off Facespace has given me my time back, mental clarity, peace and a renewed focus to the real. 
Come join me out here sometime, maybe at my open studio? 🙌

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...

Everything in it's place

One of photographer Franks Lopez's vintage cameras Last week was a whirlwind of deadlines, bus trips and fun...all culminating in an art show on Saturday night and two glasses of celebratory wine for all my efforts. I had set a goal for three new vinyl works  to be done in about a week and actually made that happen (actually make that 4!). Normally 3 new vinyl pieces would be nothing for me to do in a week but I had challenged myself to work outside my realm of expertise and delve into the world of LED lights, epoxy, drills, bolts and other fascinating construction. The end result is that I can now push my vinyl creations further - the finished piece was well received! Sales were made and sales are pending and a whole new crowd has been exposed to my work. YAY!  I found myself modeling for local photographer Frank Lopez last week and was thrilled because I like his work very much. He was doing "tintypes" and I got to see the whole process in action as well as ex...

2026 Petty Edition

 I just missed blogging here. On Patreon it's always a focused point and hits people's mailboxes directly and I feel like I might be bothering them  This is more Dear Diary let me dump my brain out here.  It's 2026 and I am on point and focused on a goal. I'm a harpoon heading for my mark and I've already done the hard part of getting accepted into my goal- The Other Art Fair . If you know me you know I have put in the time, the hours, weeks, months and years. I've sacrificed everything and stripped away everything stoically to the barest essentials to be an artist.  Lost social scenes, Fair weather friends and missed out on experiences. Some of that is alright. Some of that is painful. I can definitely only keep friends who understand I am that weird friend you hardly see who is walking a monks path to my destination. I have a dream and purpose and lots of people do not. I am aware of my time here and my gift to use and some people think time is endless and...
