Plant yourself!

Well guess who is back in the studio again? Me. And my blog is still orange and green because Ive had no time to update yet. But I started a new painting and Im loving being back in the swing of things. You might recognize the pink cloud stuff from when I was working on pink clouds for my Idaho trip. The canvas kept staring at me with its pink clouds and I kept envisioning white birds set against that periwinkle blue.
I'm cranking on it some more today (that is just a detail shot btw its a 48" wide x 36" height canvas). This weekend is some serious nose to the grindstone work on paper leaves project for work.
Just wrapped up 3 of these layered wood pieces for a hotel project. I like the way they look and I got to design them from scratch and paint them... and they were a pain in the butt- but rewarding to see in the end. They totally remind me of my wood art project that I need to get back to.
(Tomato plant my friend gave me)
Enjoying slightly cooler temps today and marvelling at my plants looking so good right now. I'm a notorious plant serial killer- but somehow this cool tomato plant is thriving...as is my potato plant and my cactus, ivy and vine thing. I'm talking about plants because I got disconnected from MY art for awhile and they are all plant-centric Nature connected. My plants are reminding me where I need to be.
See? PLANTS! 
The Peony Power kicks are currently my top selling shoe design. I've heard that the asymmetrical design Im working with is super cool and I am pleased because- WHY BE MATCHY MATCHY ? Lets be different. Let's break all the rules! This one gives me serious garden vibes and I love the pink and green and really everything about these. I made the flowers BIG on the front piece to be BOLD. Bam! Peonies! In yo face! 
We are through with boring shoes and I plan on designing more Bucketfeet. If you don't have wallspace for art- you can wear it on your feet. 
Also looking into kimonos and socks. 
If I can get all these "passive income" print on demand shops working for me then I'll have more time to PAINT which is what I need to be doing. 
Tell your friends- show off your shoes 😉💗 
And as always THANKS BUNCHES!

Digital Vacation

  Have you looked around and discovered you have filled your life with bad habits? If you said NO- good for you, you might not be human! 😁  I was experiencing a major BLAH and it was all because of ME. What I spent time on, consumed, did and did not do. I also felt like the willpower I used to have in abundance was gone and I wondered if I would ever get it back.  First and foremost I had to look at my main bad habits. What was the very first thing I did every day. EVERY DAY! I reached for my phone, I social media blitzed my brain over two long cups of coffee every morning. I made sure to look at my MEMORIES like it was my job every day. Ruminating on the past and seeing everyone's angry opinions and celebrity/political posts and regurgitated memes ad nauseum....is actually not a very optimistic and healthy way for me to cruise into the day. Not only is this not good for my spirit it wasted almost two hours of every morning. 💀 That's precious time!  I'm weaning mys...

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 ...

Top 10 Reasons

  Have you seen Labyrinth? The scene where she finally realizes she had the power all along and that actually Gareth did not ...that's powerful stuff. My favorite part....aside from every scene with David Bowie prancing about in too tight leggings. 😁 My digital vacation got interrupted yesterday. I've still been checking my messages in Messenger because HI IM AN ART BUSINESS AND THAT DONT STOP. I was alerted that the scammer had hit up a mutual friend and because I was trying to be Art Spiderman I went swinging back online to see what was going on. Unfortunately the scammer got someone and I had to make another PSA about it to help my peeps understand what was going on. Barring that though... it's up to YOU to be SMART PROACTIVE RESEARCHING humanoids. I can't save you.  Also my brief pop into fakebook gave me enough fodder to want to keep my vacation going. Here's what I was met with on messenger and on my page upon landing:  1. People pushing politics/celebrities ...
