You'd find me painting on the daily, but past couple of days, I took a little time to establish balance. I've focused on business planning, clerical work, and self-preservation. Rockstar shit, ya know? Also known as, taking care of mental health. Running by the Hudson, cleaning the studio, spending quality time with my cat Velvet, and checking in with family members. Sometimes I just need a little down time to recharge for my next painting spirt. Haha, even though I'm saying down time, my daily routine also includes e-com listing, packing orders, shipping, and arranging custom orders Running my own business gives me the freedom to create my schedule, but there's an extreme diligence to be had.
But with that diligence, there is delinquency. Simple things, like smoking some grass + hanging at the record shop or grabbing a glass of tequila with a friend. And at the end of the day, there's an extreme sense of punk of how I run my life. I do my life for my pleasure. Time is the greatest currency, and I spend mine fucking wisely.
“I’m a street walkin' cheetah with a heart full of napalm” — lyrics from The Stooges aka Iggy Pop song, Search and Destroy. Always think of angel Jimmy Webb when I hear that line, as he taught the importance of that punk confidence mixed w/ cool kindness. It’s rad how people can influence you in the tiniest ways, but create such a lasting effect on your aura. Grateful for this vibe as I often need a reminder that it's bad ass to do your own thang, chicken wang.
