The final countdown! Dee do dee doo -dee dodeedahdoo!



The countdown is on - 6 days till the Fair and 5 days till setup!
My little stint at The Skyline Agency on Thursday was a good practice run in hauling inventory, set up and socializing. It also gave me insight into what I still need for my booth and to make things easier.

My space for the pop-up was small and all tabletop but I was able to get a lot of matted prints, framed prints and originals in one space along with my info and biz cards. The Fair will have gridwall so I can hang the paintings properly. 

Im thinking I may need to pop off more of these because one is on reserve ALREADY and one of the Big Texs has already been bought!

"Aerial cactus in Plumvision" sold to a collector!

Sold some pieces yesterday to some collector friends of mine! Much appreciated because...its almost rent time and I've been steadily sinking my funds into stuff for the FAIR 😮 so big thank you to my collectors for this end of month push!

"Abandonment 1" also sold to a collector friend!

I have a record commission to finish up then I can work on these brighties. I kinda already like where they are but I have to tinker with them because that is what I do with everything! 😜 
This week is going to be a little mad as I bustle to get my last pieces done for the Fair. I also have to do some major food prepping because as much as I love fair food- I cannot eat it every day. I'm still trying to drop pounds and get my blood pressure safely away from danger numbers. So Im about to clean out the fridge and go shopping and get to CHOPPING! 10am-7pm every day is no joke and I will not feel like cooking when I get home. I forsee lots of bento style boxes in my fridge/freezer and putting the crockpot to work for dinners. Menu planning-another thing on my to do list.

I had to revise my pricelist because someone who hates math forgot to factor in the percentage the Fair gets from my earnings. 😜 So a few bucks more than what was listed but not much and definitely still affordable. Oh gosh-so much to do but trying to remember this is my last period of rest before a really hard grind so-not killing myself and trying to have fun. ☺
Hope everyone has the best weekend!

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...

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...
