New month, new resolve!

New month and the calendar is popping! Some interesting things have come onto my radar- but since things aren't finalized I'm just going to have to be vague for now. I'm starting to get noticed and found... and fully believe that my mantra of "where you put your efforts is where you'll see your gains" is starting to pay off.

(As for that photo up there-Look how amazing these prints came out! Totally love how vibrant and lush this paper is!)

I've gotten derailed from my small originals project because of WORK, COMMISSIONS and LIFE. So when I say- collect these while they are there- I mean it... There's almost no time to squeeze those in.

Just finished this up for a client who commissioned it for a friend's gift. The sweet orange boy is a dearly departed friend who needed to be memorialized with my brush. Since the recipients have my frog print framed and hanging- I thought it a nice touch to paint this in similar style and scheme to match. It's been awhile since I've done a pet portrait- so fun to get to paint fur again.

Dreaming of when I can get back to my stuff but still have work on my plate to finish. But here are some dates if you wanna see me out and about in the not too distant...

March 26- The Dubliner (I'll be djing alongside Ron Riot for a fun afternoon of punk, reggae, mod, britpop and more! 3-7pm)

April 8- Orr Reed more details TBA (I will be there hawking wood goods, art, prints, etc- super fun market you should not miss!)

Other dates posted soon, we are entering market season and art fair season and BUSY is the word!

See you here or there and will update about my exciting news as it comes through the pipe! 🌞

Addicted

Well it's official. I am addicted. Luckily to nothing horrible. It was bound to happen. I'm addicted to the morning walk...the endorphins...the serotonin...the "me" time....the solitude....the music pumping in my ears...the nature I see and feeling like I control my day. I'm usually up before the sun and getting as much mileage as my body allows. Sometimes it's more than others but it's always good. I'm going to add in more sprints here and there as "burst" exercises are better for me than long running sessions. Yes, even on the weekends I'm out doing it. There is no sleeping in and admittedly I woke up at 2:30am and started having my morning coffee in preparation... Even though I will wait till much later to go out. That's how I know it's an addiction. Currently on Week 6 and haven't missed a workout or even postponed it. I showed up for myself and made myself a priority every morning. I am proud of that and so much LESS...

Shoot for the Stars!

Shoot for the Stars! Latest painted record featuring Han Solo AVAILABLE ($50) Theres a beautiful rain falling this Friday morning, it's a quiet steady and soft rain. The complete opposite of how it started....loud thunder cracking, waking me up from sleepyland and making my computers blink. Now it's just a little drip drip and quietude. Rain makes primering a no go since I primer outside. I am looking for the perfect large box to spray in, this will ease a lot of trouble with tree detritus landing on a barely sprayed record and wreaking havoc. My house was busy yesterday with order drop off and order pickup and then a graphic design job I was waiting to hear about popped up so I'm officially BUSY for the next two weeks at least. Wrapping up record orders and the graphic work and I'm happy to be busy and working from home. This record featured above is up for grabs until someone grabs it. I won't have time for new vinyl for awhile so get it while it's t...

Ride Your Ride Your Ride

my bike Tuco, named after the Ugly One in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Lifes little surprises never cease to amaze me. I'm not exactly sure how to tell this story but I will try. A few weeks ago my Mom says she was digging around in an old dresser and found this little funny package. The package was flat and made from beer boxes, cut and taped together and a little over 12" x 12" big. On it was my Dads handwriting stating what was inside. RECORDS! And not just any records but records I had wondered what had happened to because I knew my Dad really liked them....FATS DOMINO! He had taken care and written the names of the records for safe keeping. Now they are mine to cherish. It was like a little gift from the other side...which sometimes doesn't feel very far away. In fact most days it feels like my Dad is still right here with me. With Fathers Day happening this weekend he has been on my mind more than usual. So yesterday I was a little surprised to ge...
