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!

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...
