The Old Ways...


I think I jumped off Facebook on the 3rd...it's somehow now the 14th. Time has kinda been zooming this month! Yesterday I got some prints matted up to ship out, transplanted some baby tomatoes (fingers crossed, these are my first tomato plants I started) and did some much needed chilling. Godzilla marathon was on, how could I resist?
Today will be more chilling in the AC with my cat tribe, finishing up a few projects and I think I'll learn a new recipe today. There's always tons to do and now I have time to do it. It really does feel like I left a terrible relationship when I left Facebook and now I'm standing in the sun with the wind blowing my hair and I'm spinning and laughing and...ok not quite like that but kinda. I recommend if you are feeling overwhelmed and just need a break. 🥰❤️ 
My sister sends me the cutest mail! I can't wait to try my hand at felting that cute hamuchan (hamster)🐹. My mom and I have talked about starting a garden at her house, she has a yard and it will be fun since I hardly see her.
More fun mail this week...my friend Elisabeth from Facebook sent me her published book that is about to go into second publishing. How fantastic I'm reading it today!

She wrote and published it based on Inuit folk tales. I've noticed friends are taking time to connect with me in the"old ways" and I love it. Snail mail or actual letters on Facebook instead of "reacts" and "saw your video/post and didn't say anything." Lurker culture! But I have tons of friends and family on Facebook so I haven't completely kicked it. Ok, off to enjoy my Sunday. Hope you are enjoying yours 🌞

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 ...

Year of the Dragon

  First off, Happy New Year to my blog readers! Not sure if I actually have blog readers but if I do- I wish you well! We are coming up on the Chinese Lunar New Year and it's Year of the Dragon! I jumped into the year at a crazy pace and really need to pace myself for ALL THE THINGS I'm trying to accomplish. First off it was very important to me to launch a couple things and explore some other platforms. Those being: Tiktok, Patreon and YouTube I'll go on to say that I actually did not want to do any of these. I repeat DID NOT WANT TO DO THESE.  *Didn't think I was worthy for people to pay me on Patreon and also thought creating perks for people monthly was a lot of work. So far ...IT IS A LOT OF WORK....but I am new and growing from the ground up and that's how it is. Growing pains! I'm working to learn and streamline this so it goes hand in hand with... *YouTube channel! Who actually does not enjoy seeing my weird face and voice in a video? Hi. ME. I really di...

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...
