Order from Chaos


I put my bad mood to productive use yesterday and did something I've been needing to do for a year... Started unpacking my closet. I literally moved in here- threw a bunch of garbage bags filled with clothes, shoes, scarves and purses into a nice little walk in closet and never looked back. For a whole year. I was either either sick, busy with work or tired....it never got dealt with, never a priority. I was fine to wear the same pair of jeans, 3 pairs of holey threadbare jeggings and a handful of rock shirts for a year. A pile on the floor and a little laundry basket was my closet. So lame!
Super fab SPACE MOD two piece- dress and coat I unpacked!

Im totally in appreciate and use what you have mode. And I have a WALK IN CLOSET...its small but mine! So Im doing my darnedest to purge pounds of clothes that don't serve me and make this space functional. Anything that isn't working for me this year- gets fixed or booted. And that will extend to all aspects of my life. Order from chaos. I have control of this. Its also been metaphorically- a thorn in my side. Anytime I had to do something for someone else that I really didn't have time to do...I thought "I haven't even dealt with my OWN life yet but now I gotta go deal with that". Now I can deal with my own life and slide that thinking right off the table. Hopefully by the end of today that closet will be in working order. Then will be the dresser...then hooking up my turntables. I haven't enjoyed my vinyl records for a whole year. Since Im signed here for another year (lease-wise) I guess I can get comfy.
Looking forward to 2019 being a more settled year for everyone and me not wearing clothes from the floor. 😄
I love end of the year clean out. Having space and actually using the things you have are a Christmas present in itself. This all speaks to the fact that I've been putting myself second to everyone and everything in life and that's got to change. Got to get happy so I can put the happy out there. Its recharge and reconnect time.
Celebrating the holidays by purging and releasing instead of consuming and adding more chaos. Wishing everyone a great holiday out there!

How I had the best art year

  This was the year I got rejection letters from every open call I applied to. Granted, it wasn't very many I applied to because I am very picky about what I sign up for AND I am also very jaded about these things of late.  However, this was my best art year to date and I kinda love that it was all rejection notices this year and I STILL HAD THE BEST ART YEAR EVER. Takeaway: Today's open calls are very "agenda based" and the jurors they choose to judge have their agendas. Some want more millennials and younger artists and shun the older artists, some want you to tackle race, gender identity, politics, feminist, pro this or that.... And my art does not. I'm going to stick by  my "Nature is more important than most bullshit" stance till I die because the very atom of life and Nature is more important in my eyes than most of the stuff humans do to feel more important than another group.  But I digress! I did not get into the velvet rope clubs and it was gre

So what's the Scenario?

Street Artist 'My Dog Sighs' Paints Faces on Cans Found Littered on the Street I found this interesting art on Pinterest and thought it would be a good example for a proposed scenario.....indulge me if you will.... The scenario is this....this street artist paints on cans. Pretty cool right? Pretty neat! He's probably not the only one who paints on cans in the world but he most likely is the only one in his little neck of the woods and art circle. Ok, let's pretend I invite this CAN painter to be in this big group show we do annually at my gallery. (This is pretend land, I dont have a gallery but roll with me...)  Ok, he is a hit, everyone thinks his can faces are awesome and he's considered pretty unique for doing this medium in our little art circle. Ok fast forward into the future....it's a year later and it's time for our big annual show...here's the scenario....we don't invite the CAN artist to come show again BUT we do hand out a can

Year of the Dragon

  First off, Happy New Year to my blog readers! Not sure if I actually have blog readers but if I do- I wish you well! We are coming up on the Chinese Lunar New Year and it's Year of the Dragon! I jumped into the year at a crazy pace and really need to pace myself for ALL THE THINGS I'm trying to accomplish. First off it was very important to me to launch a couple things and explore some other platforms. Those being: Tiktok, Patreon and YouTube I'll go on to say that I actually did not want to do any of these. I repeat DID NOT WANT TO DO THESE.  *Didn't think I was worthy for people to pay me on Patreon and also thought creating perks for people monthly was a lot of work. So far ...IT IS A LOT OF WORK....but I am new and growing from the ground up and that's how it is. Growing pains! I'm working to learn and streamline this so it goes hand in hand with... *YouTube channel! Who actually does not enjoy seeing my weird face and voice in a video? Hi. ME. I really di
