I’ve noticed that whenever I have creative projects in process my life seems to be more orderly. And although the random “life challenges” surface, having the projects provide me an outlet where I can focus my thoughts and energy.
  I find that because I am focused on my creativity the other areas of my [...]

So I’m stuck at Seatac working for the next few days and as much as I would like to gripe about it, I won’t. I will be updating project13 later today. I love what I found for yesterday’s image and it’s fun noticing the “little things” too.
I was talking with some coworkers about this project yesterday and they [...]

Although Flip Tops provided me with the experience of getting a tshirt brand together, it did not teach me anything about the actual process of screenprinting.
Well, last week I did my first screenprinting trial and it turned out really great… I took  a couple of my images and screened them onto muslin fabric to learn the process. The [...]

Over the past few days the weather in the Puget Sound has been incredible. So this evening I decided to unplug my laptop,  sit outside and think about my day. I’m trying to follow Nathaniel Branden’s  ( and Karissa’s too) advice of thinking about the “good stuff” of my life and to also reflect on [...]

Ali and my little 4+ hour drive headed south down I5 was rich. There was enough to think and contemplate and act on in that conversation for a lifetime.
One thing we talked about is how I have come to realize that as an artist I have no specific “medium” that I focus on in terms of being [...]

There is nothing like meeting up with an old pal.
The kind of friend that inspires you, motivates you, brings out the best in you.
The best thing is that it’s not just me that she’s doing this for. Ali is inspiring people the world over and people would love to be able to spend just 10 [...]

In spite of having a chunk of time off this week I decided to “nest” a little bit and to give the wings a rest. It’s been a nice change of pace. And although I realize that I’m seriously hampering my average (for more specifics, see this previous post) I’m ok with it. Besides I’ve [...]

A couple of days ago, my SNL  Karissa blogged about her “good stuff” list. it was a simple post that reminded me of the great things that we often forget about. It was quite inspiring, because this morning I felt this burst of creativity and started jotting down notes, taking photos, and got together a [...]

Recently I was having a discussion with my friend Brianne-
Actually the discussion started a few weeks ago. We were talking about the virtues of retail therapy.
Retail therapy comes about in a variety of ways. Sometimes my therapy comes in the form of forking over dough for some adult bevarages, sometimes its for some new kicks. [...]

Because I travel so darned much I’ve started the crazy habit of converting chunks of time into flight segment durations.
For example: an 8 hour work shift is equal to a flight down to the bay area (2 hours), 4 hours playing, and a return flight back (another 2 hours).
So when I was going thru the [...]
