Upswing? Maybe?


I may possibly be on the upswing as far as this cold is concerned...at least I hope so. These things have been known to grab you back under and drag you into the murky depths just when you think you're safe. But heading into my studio today to work and just staying on top of symptoms...and zinc.
I've got two records to knock out and get sent off and need to go get the Buddha scanned so I can make prints. Being in bed miserable gave me lots of time to think about my long list of to-dos. I should have caught up on reading but fevers and sneezing and coughing don't make that very enjoyable.
One thing I did do was start the gargantuan task of pricing Print On Demand prints that I'll be offering soon and start loading those into the Shopify. I'm starting mainly with some digital art I've done.
"Trio" mixed media digital art print

Example of digital/ physical media art I've been playing with. Im hoping to offer a whole series of abstract digital prints this year on paper and canvas, etc. These started as a watercolor/ acrylic on paper in the studio and then gets digitally manipulated. It's fun to do on the side when I'm not painting on canvases. I need to be producing more in every aspect I can. 
I got a bite on my first proposal on the new work platform. I was surprised because the webinar made it seem like a long hard slog to get a return message. Beginners luck? We'll see if it turns into a project after all. 
Got my tickets to Idaho and first week of April I am THERE painting clouds on the ceiling! Super psyched- I get to see a mountain! In Dallas there is no such thing. So MUST GET BETTER cause theres lots to do! Have agood and healthy week my peeps!

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...

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...

Ride Your Ride Your Ride

my bike Tuco, named after the Ugly One in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Lifes little surprises never cease to amaze me. I'm not exactly sure how to tell this story but I will try. A few weeks ago my Mom says she was digging around in an old dresser and found this little funny package. The package was flat and made from beer boxes, cut and taped together and a little over 12" x 12" big. On it was my Dads handwriting stating what was inside. RECORDS! And not just any records but records I had wondered what had happened to because I knew my Dad really liked them....FATS DOMINO! He had taken care and written the names of the records for safe keeping. Now they are mine to cherish.  It was like a little gift from the other side...which sometimes doesn't feel very far away. In fact most days it feels like my Dad is still right here with me. With Fathers Day happening this weekend he has been on my mind more than usual.  So yesterday I was a little surprised to ge...
