Testing testing!


I don't remember how to blog. It took me awhile to even remember where my blog was and how to access it but...here it is. Please ignore all the About Me section...that needs to be updated from a lifetime ago...so why a blog?
I deactivated my main Facebook page. My business page is still up (Tigerbee Arts) and I remote update it so the art fun lives on and anyone interested in following/collecting can still contact me there.
I don't know how often I'll blog here but I did want to let everyone know:
1. I didn't delete you. I deactivated my account for a bit.
2. I also deactivated Messenger but you can message me via Tigerbee Arts facebook or email me: djtigerbee@electriclollipop.com
3. Miss all my stupid updates? Lies! But Im on instagram and when I warm up to the crowd there I might get funny again. So, Im two people on instagram...the real silly me complete with cats and grievances with tiny pizzas is @djtigerbee
The very professional me with her hair in a librarian bun and showing only her artwork and not one plate of food is @galleryrodriguez
So Im still online...I just took myself off the toxic minefield of Facebook.
I found myself enthralled with people going through divorces and throwing poop on each others lawns. I found myself in a black veil daily mourning strangers pets and family members. (Not being funny- this stuff depressed me DAILY). I found myself reading long Jerry Springer like threads where local girls were jumping on other local girls and I would check in to see who said what.... is that entertainment?
Add into it the politics that never took a break and the meme regurgitation that never stopped and I was feeling like somehow I was living at my lowest level= not really living. When I got the feeling I could no longer express myself I decided a break was in order. A break of indefinite time. So without fanfare I clicked my way into deactivation land. And here I am. Life after Facebook. As a steady Facebook addict since it first started (haikoo zoo and scrabulous anyone?) I'm surprised that I don't feel the need to log in. I dont miss the drama of people I dont know. Useless detritus doesn't float in my headspace and memes aren't drilled into my grey matter making me feel dumb.
I've taken to reading books, studying meditation, working out, finding real life things to do (free tai chi and Quigong classes next week!) and PAINTING even more than I did! Productivity is up, spirits are up, my brain is thanking me for using it again, my spirit is glad it left everyones therapy sessions because it needs its own therapy and it's nice to not feel there is an audience watching and reacting. Im reprogramming myself as a real human again. Years in screen land with all its misunderstandings and disconnectedness can really mess you up.
This weekend is all painting and Pow Wows 🌞🎨 grab life.....it runs pretty quick.

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...

It's the little things...

I will eventually get back to posting about art 😂 but I lost my first pound with just 3 days of dedicating myself to Metabolic Renewal...and this is me playing fast and loose because A. I did not buy their shakes I'm doing my own. So I don't really know their caloric/nutrition value vs mine. B. Getting 10,000 steps a day on my pedometer.... doesn't happen. That's almost two hours of walking a day. I get 8,000 or 9,000 before the Texas heat or work calls it off. C. Haven't followed any of the meal recipes. I've been winging it with good sense. I will get closer to their instructions in time ( like maybe next week) since I paid for it. My body is SORE AF. It's totally getting put through the paces and I'm lucky there are modifications for pudgy newbies like me. But 1st lb down is a good feeling because seeing the scale move down is what I'm after. I'm pretty proud of myself for yesterday in general..did my workout, a walking session THEN WENT ...

The New Way

Had a wonderful time at the Artists Showcase and Home Tour on Thursday. It was a great reminder of the new "Im worth it" path I've taken. I really feel like the artists were well taken care of and promoted and enjoyed the event very much. Here was my little curated space: All the artists got their own little spaces to create and show in this AMAZING house. I had lots of great windows and light in my space. Even though my endometriosis pains were popping in intermittently- I stood and smiled and chatted with visitors and fellow artists. These three were my largest pieces there and looked great on the spacious walls.   These look great together- I hope whoever eventually buys them is able to get both of them. Its a fun horizontal/vertical juxtaposition. The food was IMPECCABLE...the cake makers made these elegant cakeballs in various flavors and used each of the artists works to decorate the tops. I have arrived! My art is edible! Ther...
