joke.

This month is a wash and a joke... I did so much better with not eating meat. I could run 1000 miles before I could give up this stuff, it is in EVERYTHING! Maraschino cherries... the freaking vitamin I take, it is everywhere.  I did my best and avoided some of it, but when it's in the salad dressing, salsa, ketchup, bread, etc... there is only so much one man can do. Onward and upward, taking suggestions for next month.

Sugar free August

High Fructose Corn Syrup... Gonna do without it. I enjoy reading labels and asking the wait staff silly questions they can't answer. The last few months have been one giant stress ball so I don't need to add something to my life, so I'll take something out. No candy, ugh. I have several art projects out and I will post them when I finish, looks like last month will spill over into this month.

is it august yet.

I lack the motivation to do anything; nevertheless, I am doing a few silly things. The free art fairy is making his last few stops with his silly art buss, so you better get on board. I have been drawing a lot and have ideas for a few big things but my time is consumed and it's to freakin hot. Here are a couple pics of things happening as well as the bounty from my almond tree... majestic. Deer and raccoons ate all my other fruit. sneaky.

maybe

So I have been working, (on art) a little. Working with my friend Lauren on a sculpture and a small painting for a charity auction. I am also designing a few murals for a pediatrician friend. (pics soon) Plans for a low edition print too, if you would like one let me know.

 

art... slow but going.

I am working, when I'm not in the air or on the road or actually working-working. Life gets in the way and is confusing.

1,2,3,4 what do i have this for.

Ok! Not much to report on - I kinda dropped the ball on logging about this month (it was a hectic month). I believe this one was a stretch for me... running 100 miles, not eating meat... all child's play. I like the idea of organization and some things I do are organized but I don't know if I am wired to do it. I get sidetracked. Let's take my iphone, for example. I wanted to "organize it", you know - take all the Leroy B's and Bobs and Stephanopolis' and give them first and last names and assign emails and put pictures with them. Ha. I get 2 numbers in and I think "Hey, I should call Andy Anderson!" (I don't know an Andy Anderson.) The same goes for getting my studio in order... I go down today to work on that (a disaster, by the way) and I start by cleaning out the air-conditioned part (of course) and then I step out on the front porch and start cleaning it down on my hands and knees, pulling weeds and moving gross stuff. Then I notice the ground is wet... huh, that's odd. I move the gravel and more water... next thing I know, I'm covered in mud and am stuck fixing pipes for three hours. The same thing will happen when I do actually get in my studio. I will stop and admire every little piece of metal and wood and screw and tool I touch. I got the OCD. (obsessively compulsively disorganized)

ugh.

I planted a bunch of trees... that was a good one. I still owe a couple of people trees. The fall is a better time to plant trees though, so maybe I will do it again. I will be keeping a shovel in my truck and will keep up the guerrilla forestation (I have been sneaking trees into places I think they should be). School is over this week so my time will be freed up... somewhat. (2 new building projects, ha)

So May... this one is going to have to be an easy one, too. I have lots of traveling and the aforementioned building projects to contend with. May will be about organization. Organizing... my time, my phone, my computers, my studio, my house... my life. Tips are welcome.
