The more I realize how distracted people have become the more determined I am to give them a reason to look up. 

Going Downtown

I'm heading downtown to create and sale art outside of Powell's Bookstore. People watch. Etc. 

Come say hello, pick up a piece, if you're in the area. 

Tonite at 8pm I'm going to sing a song or two at the Waypost on N Williams.   

I really enjoy that open mic. Awesome vibes all around.  

Next streetcar stop is mine.

I May Not lways know what I'm Doing butI'mdoing it

I got the .com back up. Mty bank account went negative and I had to sell some art and do some working in the kitchen but it's back up now. The bank account and the .com that is. 

I've slacked on sharing via blog. My friend Christian encourages me to share more. I'm trying friends. 

Magic moments happen so quick. 

I met a fellow named Chris Ledgering a few days ago. He was wearing a sweet denim vest and has a fro like next gen Jimi Hendrix and that's no exaggeration. 

I could go on and on that conversations but not yet. 

Pierce The Veil is play8ing overhead at the local bar and it makes me smile. 

I'm making more music friends. I gotta get back on the stage more routinely. 

I have a "live art Jam' coming up in August. More on that soon.

I gotta get lost in this song. 

More Sonly.

Indian Henry


I went back to Indian Henry this weekend, one of the most sacred places I've stepped foot.

The second picture is the view from the top of the rock in the first picture.  

it rained a lot, but I didn't care too much. It was nice to be out away from phone reception for a while and amongst good people I don't see very often.

Awakely

Here lately

focusing 

on broader reasonings

breathing out

as important as reaching up

working isn't doing

dues over doings

yes and yes

Last week was a busy, productive week.

I sold eight sleepwalking moments. Half on my own and half via PDXChange on Mississippi Ave.

My friends Dani and Travis had a going away party Saturday night. 

Reconnected with a lot of people I haven't seen in a while. 

and more and more and more. 

There was a full moon last night. 

I saw a really wild car accident happen right in front of me. Fortunately I was far enough away it didn't involve me. 

I was offered another part time job, too. only 2 days a week, but it would put a few more hundred in my possession a week and that could go a long way these days. 

I just finished eating a quesadilla with carnitas. very yummy and about to pack up the laptop and go make my house and room clean. First of 3 days off from my day job.

So get home base settled today and then tomorrow and can follow through with emailing all the people I need to about other potential art happenings, update .com, etc. 

Oh  yes! I forgot. I named and framed a couple of my Sleepwalking Moments. It's not until they get a frame that I name them something other than "Sleepwalking Moments SW____".

Named and Framed two and they are now in the dressing rooms at Wonder Ballroom. 

Alright my attention span is drifting. I need to go for a wander then clean my house up. 

Be free fellow earthlings.

Shuttle

I didn't sleep well last nite. I spent a majority of the night, pre 1am, reading "Mists of Avalon". 

I've got a lot of pages to cover and got distracted there for a little over a week, but now I'm back at it. ​

The more I read, the harder I find it to stop reading.  ​

Weather is rainy to sunny, rainy to sunny, the last two days. ​

I picked up a few extra work shifts this week so my internal clock is a little wobbly.  That's okay though. So it goes. ​

I have an exciting art opportunity in the happening, but I will wait to share that when it comes to fruition. ​

Instinct > Influence 

Breathe and see with eyes unclouded. ​

Long Time / No Post

A lot of dreams that feel like reality lately.

 

The only consistency is the one I admire greatly. She's always there. Strange to myself because I've never dreamt of someone I care about before she floated into my reality. 

There's been hints of war, too. At home in Portland, and discussion from a far. 

I don't claim to know what it all means, but it seems worth rambling.  

I forget the rest of the details until they seem to happen in real life.  

to be continued...

New Book

Thank you Scot for the new book. Before last night I had only read excerpt from this book on the interweb.

I do confess Tim Burton along' s drawings are a huge inspiration on my own. He and Suess as I mentioned a few blog posts before. ​

That is all for now. Thanks again Scot. ​

Dr Suess

I just realized it's Dr Suess's birthday, he's definitely a huge inspiration in my art.

Thanks Pop Pop for making sure I knew about that magic. 

Side Thought.. Thinking about my current state of mind versus a year ago.  

Grateful for the present.
