We’ve been having 18F mornings and 70F afternoons. All the constant going from cold to hot to cold wreaks havoc on my immune system. Then you take the NyQuil or DayQuil or any other sinus medicine and you feel like your head is floating and stuffed up. UGH! Anyway, that’s what I talked about on the show this week.
I have been receiving several messages lately telling me what I ought to do with my art. It got me thinking over the past few years of being online just how many people have offered me unsolicited, and at times seeming mean spirited, advice. You should know that even these e-mails center around the fact that I am free to do what I want in my journal. I usually listen to the advice then do what I want anyway.
Tragedy struck about 10 minutes into the show this week as Boy2 discovered a Japanese fishing float that my mother brought back from Hawaii 30 years ago. If you’re not familiar, these are glass balls made in Japan that break free from the fishing nets and float out to sea. Many of them float for dozens of years before washing ashore. He picked it up and tried to bounce it before anyone could get to him. It’s just stuff, though. We enjoyed it for a long time.
What a FUN night we had! The theme for the night was a clean slate, but that didn’t really have much bearing on the show. Girl2 painted alongside, Boy2 played with blocks and danced, My Beautiful, Young Bride gave us an update on the happenings in her class room and my mum rejoined us as producer. It was truly awesome!
Wanted to start the new year of videos with a clean slate. Mr. Clean and The Buddha share a common goal of clearing clutter!
Wringing out the old and Ringing in the New Year! This week’s art journal entry is done with acrylic paint and cut out collage. Remnants of the year gone include the bottle of rum, the tiger striped bra, “draw a cat” and “put a bird on it!” I was an AWESOME year. 2012 is already shaping up for awesomeness too. Look forward to seeing you in it.

The Artistic Biker Does Retro: After a long discussion of what exactly “Retro” means, I decided that Retro is a matter of perspective. To some, it’s bell bottoms and hippie clothes. To others, it’s huge, clunky cell phones. To me, it’s cassette tapes and izod shirts. And Kiss. And Prince. And Paisley. :)
Every penny donated will go to build Oasis Studios & Gallery, a community art center in rural Oklahoma. When you donate, I will write you a letter personally explaining exactly how your donation will be spent. Thank you VERY much!
You’ll notice things are a bit different this week. Since I somehow managed to lose several files last week, I thought this might be a fine time to implement some changes. BUT, I’m not finished deciding exactly what all changes I’m going to do. In the meantime, however, please take a look around at the links for the artists who’s works appeared on the show and the links to the visitors from the chat.
