Well hello new and old friends! Like many disgruntled artists out there, I’m on the search for a more sane and less horrible social media source. Is Tumblr going to make a comeback?  First of all, if you don’t know who I am, how dare you? Jk, I’m just a Californian painter that loves observing, learning and sharing. Sometimes (okay, a lot of) oversharing. If you’re less into what I have to say or who I am you might want to meander over to my Instagram account where I’ll keep things short and to the point.

This painting is a 9″x12″ oil painting on a YES! multimedia canvas. I only state that because it’s not the norm, and it was an interesting experience. You can see even in the photo that the paint sucked in all the paint, as this photo was taken a day after painting and the black looks matte and dry. I didn’t hate it, but not sure if I’m going to run and buy a bunch more.

Peonies are one of my favorite flowers, particularly this variety which starts out a bright purple/pink and fades out to a soft warm white. It sounds kind of morbid, but it really makes me think of life itself when I watch them transform from tiny buds packed tight with springy colorful petals to a weakened stem with softened ivory petals hanging down heavily. There’s beauty in all the stages, and we should slow down and appreciate them.

Lots of items that I only have one or two of left including the rosewood rings made with rosewood that I collected from the graveyard. This particular rose bush grows directly out of a grave making it extra special. - #momentomori #hebmagic #witchyjewelry #graveyardmagic #necromancy #poisonersapothecary https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci0X-93roiB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

A Tibetan skeleton dancer, 1925 - autochrome by Joseph F. Rock.⁣ ⁣ A 1928 issue of National Geographic told readers: “With huge cadaver masks, imitation tiger-skin skirts, and enormous claws, this performer and his seven similarly garbed companions strike terror to the hearts of spectators in the Old Dance. They are assistants of Showa the Deer, the messenger of Yama.” ⁣ The Met: Skeleton dances were often performed in public, as they allude to the impermanence of life and, by extension, of all things. This idea has always been central to Buddhist practice. In Tibet, a monk seeking a deeper understanding of transience sometimes meditated in charnel grounds. Upon the monk’s departure from the monastery, a chod skelton dance was done in secret monastic contexts to prepare the initiate. In both instances, the dance/musical performances were heightened by the actions of the performer and the dramatic costume, with the white bones of the skeleton standing out against the red (flesh) felt body. Such ceremonial dances were effective in conveying abstract and subtle aspects of the Buddhist philosophical tradition to a large audience. ⁣ #autochrome #photography #tibet #skeletons #costumes #religion #art #artist #1920s #portrait #culture #death #life #momentomori #calaveras #buddhism https://www.instagram.com/p/CflCzcKsGnQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This week marks the 1 year anniversary of when I, in a fit of anger, very unexpectedly drew my first cartoon. I'd never done anything like it before, but it was fun and expressive and I've got over a hundred now, a lot of them with these two characters, so I'm seeing where it takes me. I thought it would be fun to recreate my first one in the style I draw in now to mark the occasion. It was initially #iPad (using #adobefresco), and I did this on watercolor paper with #crowquil, #brushpen, and #inkwash, all analog. It's fun to see how it has changed. One day at the store I was pissed about the state of the world and this arrived in my brain. I thought about how so much of the dialogue emerging in the last few years was hateful, false, and destructive and thought "I wonder if they will lay on their deathbed and look back at what they did with the chances they had and how they will feel about what they did. Will some of them realize in their final moments they made the world a worse place for basically everyone on it before it's too late and they just fuckin die?"...and boom, a fully formed cartoon popped into my head. In case the messaging was too subtle I decided to call the guy "Momento Morrie". #momentomorrie #momentomori #cartoon #kurzclub https://instagr.am/p/CeJgJgpOpF6/

Un teschio in pietra di fronte ad una chiesa

Un teschio in pietra di fronte ad una chiesa. Mi stupisce sempre trovare questi simboli che sono alla fine tipici della simbologia cristiano cattolica. Questo teschio è la cima di una colonnina all'ingresso della chiesa di Santa Chiara d'Assisi a Matera, in Basilicata. Anche sull'altro lato ve n'è una uguale e, addirittura, anche il portone della chiesa ha dei teschi come decorazione. Vi ricordo che il teschio è il simbolo del memento mori (ricordati che devi morire), il concetto stesso di morte terrena. Sulla piccola stele c'è poi anche una clessidra altro simbolo cristiano che indica lo scorrere del tempo. Hai mai visto qualche statua raffugurante un teschio?  A stone skull in front of a church - Un crâne de pierre devant une église - Una calavera de piedra frente a una iglesia - Um crânio de pedra na frente de uma igreja - Ein Steinschädel vor einer Kirche - Đầu lâu bằng đá trước nhà thờ - 教堂前的石头骨 - 教会の前にある石の頭蓋骨 Read the full article

Blog #1 Letting a "dream" die.

As I am writing this and gather my thoughts on this personal post. I am writing this on the table I had set up for myself months ago in mi hogar , in fact during the fall of 2022. This table was to help me figure to create a space for deep focus on my goals. I had taken the time to create something called the Vanitas project. It is a basic map to help me guide which goals I needed to complete first before doing the others. Set one is the foundation of the goals but also the most hardest. First set was to lose weight , improve on my artistic skills and Spanish comprehension. The goal of Project Vanitas is to to help keep mis metas in line and focus rather than jumping around confused. But there was a mistake on this project: It's personal. There is no professional deadline. 13 year old me would beg to differ-Why include XYZ if Crystal is the priority?

The origin of my goals can be traced back when I was younger. Lets refer this version of myself as Ally. Ally represents my inner child and the origins of the first goal when I was 12. Most of the goals set here have a foundation- to one day publish the story of Crystal my first ever OC. Ally loved her despite how flawed Crystal was. Crystal had 100+ powers, transformations, anime husbandos AKA a Mary Sue. She would envision many moments of putting Crystal in pain, tears or happiness whatever Ally liked. Up until she grabbed a pencil and paper. Ally went on a journey to draw just to turn her creation to life. 85% of the stuff she drew was of Crystal. Crystal was a soul and alive.

The Mary Sue had many revisions and so did Ally's style. Ally improved her anatomy her style and before she knew it she could draw hands. Ally's priorities were just to draw all the time and maintain straight A's which were a piace of cake, until she met boys aka relationshiippsss. There was Boy 1, the sweetheart. Boy 2, what was I thinking? Boy 3... boy number 3.

Drawing and Crystal became secondary. Her grades were still great. Despite the change in Ally's focus, her creativity stayed the same till boy #3. Hay caramba, Boy #3 met me back in 2018. But he never met Ally. Back in late 2017, I had shifted went to a trade school under a graphic design program. And in the first time in my life I felt like I knew were I had to navigate my life. I was gonna go to college and earn an associates degree in graphic design and eventually publish Crystal's story as a comic. The portfolio mattered more than the degree and I was at my panicle of creativity and art. Art was now something I was doing seriously and for fun. I gotten praise from my mentors and eventually got a scholarship for a local college. Ally was fully present at her graphic design program. She fully bloomed her portfolio in to an magnum opus, until she had her great, unfortunate fall.

Ally was present during the first 6-7 months with Boy # 3. After that, I don't know what to call myself during the remaining time frame. It was just a cycle of my self-neglection that was attributed from Boy #3. During that time I abandoned my core beliefs all for a selfish stupid boy. Thankfully the cycle breaks. Instead of telling myself lies, my core-truths kicked in and we started arguing. The tip of the iceberg broke by a text from him. Telling me that I could do so much more in life and that he was holding me back. I didn't believe that text until a month later. In that month included, he did what every melodramatic boy does in soap operas- " I AM SO SORRY I MISSED YOU BLAH BLAH BLAH."

I focused on myself with Panera and the gym. The only things I had along with my mother to support me. The break up was in the October of 2020, 1.5 years after I graduated and 6 months after the college I was going to attend shut down.

At this point I accepted that I had no direction in that moment of my life. This brought me to my current self. Spring of 21, middle of the pandemic, I spent 13 dollars on Bumble and found a bee. A bee that gave me the happiest 2 years of my life. Ally still wasn't present. The feeling I felt post-break up with Boy #3 was "forged Passion". I was trying to force myself to draw when Ally wasn't present and despised staring at a canvas for so long I didn't create anything . She represented my inner-child but she was also my muse. Which would explain the many times I had mini-life crisis and doubts of what I wanted to do long term during my current relationship. " I don't know what to do", "Should I learn a trade", etc etc. I was bouncing between careers. Ally as a muse died when I was a few months into my last relationship. On May 20th of this year I laid Ally to rest which was also the dream of pursuing a graphic design career.

I fell in love with the idea to move to Europe and hopefully attend college-not sure what I will pursue- there after my spouse finishes with his studies. So I thought about studying German. I didn't feel sad for changing my dream because I can't force myself to be an old version of me. Change was inevitable. Letting go of an idea I built upon more than half my time here alive was never a bad ending. It was much much needed after having doubts for 2 years of what the next stepping stone of my life would be. All that I know patience will allow me to embrace this next chapter of mine.

Project Vanitas needs some adjustments because the core is still the same. Crystal is still around, her story will continue to evolve and adjust as I do. One day she will be out and about either as a web comic or novel. That I do not know yet. I'll continue to improve my Spanish and exercise but not draw seriously; only as a hobby.

Requiesce in pace my muse.
