The New Year


Finished the year with a good walk in the sun and spotted ...these gorgeous mushrooms! I hadn't seen any in months. They made me so happy and reminded me of how much fun I had this year just stopping everything to look for them. Looking at the small things and finding delight.
I thought I would be asleep at midnight but woke up from a great nap just in time to toast in the New Year with my honey.
Although we have champagne and wine in the house we opted for some ginger beer to ring it in. Its a mix of laziness and amazing wisdom. No one likes to go into the New Year feeling like crap and I've successfully avoided hangovers all year so why go out like that? I'll save the bottle for my studio opening or small gathering of friends. Sharing is caring. I've become very responsible in my old age. 😛😂

Yesterday I hung up my happy bright panda piece. He will greet you on entering and exiting my house. He feels like good vibes and makes the place fun. HAVE FUN will be one of my mantras this year. Yes, I said mantras. Light some incense and get groovy.
Today is the first day of the New Year- which happens every day if you let it. I'm feeling like pouring abundance into the house and cooking up food for the week. Jalapeño cheese cornbread is going to happen as well as some traditional black eyed peas.
Then its studio time- getting things ready to ship tomorrow and working on some record art.
And READING- I didn't make any resolutions this year but set my intentions to READ more and direct my energy to more creative projects and music, etc.
Hoping everyone is in a good place right now and may your 2019 be all you desire it to be!

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...

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...

Shoot for the Stars!

Shoot for the Stars! Latest painted record featuring Han Solo AVAILABLE ($50) Theres a beautiful rain falling this Friday morning, it's a quiet steady and soft rain. The complete opposite of how it started....loud thunder cracking, waking me up from sleepyland and making my computers blink. Now it's just a little drip drip and quietude. Rain makes primering a no go since I primer outside. I am looking for the perfect large box to spray in, this will ease a lot of trouble with tree detritus landing on a barely sprayed record and wreaking havoc. My house was busy yesterday with order drop off and order pickup and then a graphic design job I was waiting to hear about popped up so I'm officially BUSY for the next two weeks at  least. Wrapping up record orders and the graphic work and I'm happy to be busy and working from home. This record featured above is up for grabs until someone grabs it. I won't have time for new vinyl for awhile so get it while it's t...
