Big new LAUNCH!

(Hammering out all the things that haunt me)
Up early having my morning brew and feeling pretty accomplished with this week so far. I managed the Herculean task of updating my WEBSITE...and I don't mean just refreshing some new photos...I mean a complete overhaul and rebranding. It was painful....
Theres a lot I had to cut to make my site CLEAN, CURRENT and easy to navigate.
That means not having everything I've ever painted clogging up the galleries but a nice smattering of the most recent and my best (albeit older) works.

  • Got everything linked in for anyone wanting to purchase art or prints and any of my art merch. 
  • Made an available art page with pricing (crucial) and had to read up on some DO'S and DON'TS for art websites. I think it's pretty clean and I love it A MILLION TIMES BETTER.

You can peep it here and can even give me feedback ☺
MY NEW SHINY WEBSITE CLICK CLICK

At some point Im doing a Wordpress site but for now Im happy with this. So with NEW BLOG LAYOUT and NEW WEBSITE I have successfully knocked out two major pains in the butt that have been haunting me. Next up: NEW BUSINESS CARDS
It never stops!
Speaking of new...I launched Kimonos last week! They are so cool- I'll be adding new designs and styles but this one with the egrets is so classic

You can find this pretty in my SHOPIFY.

In the thick of projects and starting to plan out the upcoming month and make a list of new things to knock out. When you work for yourself planning ahead is crucial- always have the next project lined up, the next thing ready to launch and new stuff in production.
As my wise friend once told me "treat your business like a business"- the simplicity of those words resound with me every day. If you only put about 20 minutes worth of work into your business that's the payout you'll receive. The more you put in- the more you'll receive. I have already seen the fruits of this philosophy at work.
Ok busy day in the studio for me- thanks for checking out my website and please give feedback- it helps me grow!

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...
