Day 10
Yesterday’s goals were not met because I opted to live life instead. I was able to reconnect with some family I hadn’t seen in too many years, see my 18 month old nephew walk across a room smiling (very new skill), and connect with some friends on Capitol Hill. It was a good day, pretty sure I didn’t drink enough water, my walk was only back and forth from my car, I did not stretch, and I did write the blog post but have yet to share it on Medium. I did fit in two 90 minute work blocks when I got back to the studio which were spent gluing water. Still want to glue some more water onto the big collage before adding the next layer of resin. Every time I wonder if I should just call it done, I glance over at the 12+ layered water collage I finished a few weeks ago and keep gluing. Can’t wait to see how my art evolves.
Leaving a trail of handcut water confetti everywhere I go...
My first 90 minute work block is usually spent making my first Instagram posts and starting the blog. The second block is typically posting the blog, adding the links, posting it on Medium, and sharing the post on all my social media sites. I usually have time in the second work block to tackle some of the many drafted Music, Travel, and Photography posts. If I actually completed everything I’ve started, I’ll get everywhere I want to go and beyond. I’ve been procrastinating the filming of the pilot because there is so much potential with the story, I don’t want it to suck. I must make it anyway because I’ll never get better if I don’t actually make videos. My plan is to bring the entire cardboard box apartment with all the props inside out into the city to shoot the video because that’s the kind of stuff I do.
No further responses from the auction houses but maybe they’re reading this now trying to research the individual who dare reach out to them directly. If so… hey guys, I’d really love to help the world be a better place with my art and you have it in your power to make it happen very quickly. Since I know you specialize in secondary art sales, I’ve sold the piece to my friend and bought it back again so it’s ready for auction. I’ll happily split the profits of my biggest 3D water collage with the ACLU when it sells for more than a million at your auction. With my half, I intend to help artists get out of struggle mode by investing in their creativity and paying them what they deserve to create art that will inspire others to work towards their dreams as well. Since I’m lucky enough to wake up in the morning and choose to do anything, I may as well try to help the most people possible in the shortest amount of time.

SONG OF THE DAY
Suff Daddy – “Pattern Select” After finally watching this video for the first time, I just added it to my list of Music Videos with Mercedes so today is going very well.
It’s also on my severely overplayed but always enjoyed Inner Spacecruise playlist.
DID YOU KNOW
Did you know I started @TheRingOfDOOM project as a stop motion video project? Technical difficulties and the figurine falling into the sand turned it into a photo project. I still have this original soft clay figurine (although it remains smooshed from sitting on it too many times) and also a large canvas photo of this photo from when my ring still had the rhinestone.
One of the first @TheRingOfDOOM dioramas.
