Calm in the middle of a storm

 

Just a shortie blog to update... This piece is almost complete! I'm nearing the end of it and need to shoot it, go get it scanned and ready for prints and send photos to gallery for inventory. But first I need to finish it 😂 

Today it's back to worky work. I had to do a freelance job yesterday and wasn't able to paint much and now back to work and won't be able to paint much. There's never enough time.

I've missed one workout and am having to redo my schedule this week to slide it in but I'm back to it today. My body needed me to rest and chill as it took care of some things and I needed less Cortisol in my body so I let it rest, sleep, skip a workout and took two days off walking. Now it's back to salads and the grind. Respect Rest, it's actually more beneficial than the workout sometimes. 

Super busy in the beehive with work and art and minding my life. Facebook took my Notes feature away so all my blogging will be here. Yes, I even tried to get into Notes on my laptop and it was a no go. Just further proof FB has slid even further  down the hill in being useful for me. It's current usefulness seems to be if you're really bored and want to read about people yelling at their TV screen as they watch seemingly painful things and try to decipher what the f they are talking about and why they don't turn it off and go do something productive. But that's just me. Currently so over the stupidity of Facebook I can barely stand it. So yeah..no NOTES and glad about it because I don't need to create more content for that crap platform.

Downloading all my current content and wiping it out would be ideal.

Ready for a busy day. Definitely ready for meditation. There's a hurricane on the periphery and I'm feeling like I need to be the calm in the middle of a storm today.

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...
