Don't Waste Your Life

"Rejected Seed #3"
The week wasn't a total wash and I celebrate every little victory right now. Sold this little piece to a dear friend and fellow artist Elva Robinson. It's one of the last little abstracts in this style I had left.

Artist: Elva Robinson

Elva does vivid digital art among other things and I have one of her Vida scarves and wear it almost exclusively- I love it that much ☺ Please check her art out at https://robinsongart.com/

I'm so grateful for my supportive artist community that helps one of their own. Being injured and not able to work at peak capacity and speed- makes for a hard month. I've been so thankful for every little sale from my Shopify.
I also had a kimono order from another dear friend ❤

Print on Demand can be a lifesaver. It frees me up to continue making my art while my fans and customers can order what they like on products that are useful to them- and still support me.

So Im still in LIGHT ACTION MODE and working from bed- I can walk and stand and do therapy and all that good stuff. I just have to be super careful right now about my movements. Even just trying to get out of bed quickly or the wrong way creates a problem.

I am super thankful that my work right now is mainly digital and Im able to do it from the comfort of my bed.

Life could be worse. ☺

Day 2 of Facebook hiatus- trying to change habits and thinking. Some things and situations just do not need to concern me...and I felt myself thinking about them, checking on them and dwelling.

Not my concern. It's easy to get sucked into other peoples stuff when you're a bit of an empath, helper. You may over-care and not receive the same care or thought which can lead to resentful feelings. I'm really done with resentful feelings and will care respectively from a distance while letting it be.

I've been delving back into my "zen" and meditation. This really resounded with me. "Don't waste your life"

I think we spend a lot of time in our heads,wasting life...stuck on things that don't need us anymore,replaying things for no reason and creating scenarios that never happened. So it's a good reminder as I head into new habits- Don't waste your life

And with that-away we go!

Enjoy the weekend and if youre looking for art,artgoods and a way to help your hurt friend my Shopify has a lot of options 🌞

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...
