You Do You

                   Prints Prints Prints!

Its been a fairly good week taking care of business. Cyber Monday sale went great and prints and small originals were collected.
Got my Mom just about moved in to her new place and a fridge was given to her- YAY! Some negativity got interjected into my world but a friend took me for out for tacos- so balance is restored in my Universe. No one knows the shit I've been through and struggle with daily so negativity just can't be put in my mixing bowl. It can't. I just throw that ish right outta the bowl. Nope.
This was one of the most trying months Ive ever had to deal with and I don't have the energy for anyone else's bad vibes.
But back to the good- raised a lil something for Direct Relief on Giving Tuesday. Something is better than nothing. ❤ Got a nice tip for my prints- woohoo! And help from a friend which is always much needed.
Got my rent covered another month thanks to everyone buying from my Shopify shop. Now I can settle in to knocking out projects and trying to carve some breathing room for myself. December is just about here and its already rushy-rushy in my studio.
Thanks to everyone who has been supportive through my crisis month. ❤
As we head into a stressful month remember...we are all HUMAN doing the best that we can in the ways that we can. We are not perfect and sometimes things don't go the way we plan. There is a lot of unseen, unknown "stuff" going on in people's lives that don't get shown on Facebook. So have some empathy, compassion and no judgement on what information you "think" you have about someone else's life.
❤ In peace and good spirit.

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...
