Check in

Hola Galeras,

This week I plan to do a lot of things.

• Plan the book out

• shoot and edit videos

• work on Patreon extras

I think mostly I’m in my own head about starting to finish the book. I’m still not sure what has stopped me from just putting it out.

I’m getting back into stationary this year and I get most of my stuff from these guys. https://bungu.store/.

Journeys have given my a freedom in my mind to free up some space for important things.

Q and a

Do lazy days make you feel rested or unproductive?

Hola Galeras,

I think about this so much. I’m super productive but I do burn out too. It’s natural. I read a lot all the time. So much self help and fictional books. I think it helps my mind expand. I feel like being constantly thinking is better than being constantly doing. It’s a war nonetheless. I’m as I say “always making”. So I get very depressed when I take time off but I know it’s easy to get brain fog when I over do it. The rule is for every painting I finish I take a day off. That could mean video games, books, walks, taking photos and watching movies with Alec and the cats. It’s hard but necessary.

I’ve broken too often to not take breaks.

Painter and tom show

Hola Galeras,

The live shows are back again. Tom and I had a few moments to share.

Enjoy

We got this.

Weekend roundup

Hola galeras,

Busy bees buzzing in the darkness.

I made a keychain if you haven’t heard.

Also still trying to find a stopping point with this.

A check in

My son and I are thinking , I have not checked in with y’all in a long time.

So hola galeras,

I am tired. I am tired but in a good way , I hope. My creative mind is burning bright but not so much it might burn out. That is a fear of mine still. That I’m on the end of my candle in the darkness. The sleeping world calls to me these days and sometimes I hate it. My wounds strip me of my energy. What wounds? The ones left from bleeding and bruising. I’m deeply annoyed a lot but I blame it on my diabetes. It puts me in a bad mood sometimes for no reason. I’m trying to meditate more, which is to say I should start meditating again.

I dream about my future sometimes. I see my future home and my studio. So two homes. A lot of kermet green tile. I see lots of fuzzy rugs. So much music. And the cats are there with me and Alec is jamming out.

A perfect dream home.

Im ok but working on it.

Weekend recap

Hola Galeras,

I’ve been busy painting. Here are a few shorts to watch.

Worked on some book club readings

It has been a wild week but I got my car back. So that is great. My last rain ride of the week gave me a present of an empty car.

I think even with the car I might take the train a few days a week. Just feels good.

Be kind to yourselves Galeras.

Ps

I did a new film roll too.
