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...

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...
