Happy Valley

So Jaclyn and I have been wanting to move to the woods for a couple of months now, and the perfect place landed in our laps...
HAPPY VALLEY!
Happy it be! It's about 12 minutes deep from the 17 in thick forest jungle ISH complete with ready to eat garden, kiwi and avocado trees! There's easy hiking to a nearby winery and super chill people on the property!
The main room is hexagon shape which means the bathroom and kitchen are huge.
Its mostly run on propane, and the floor heats up from the bottom- like those butt warmers in cars BUT FOR YOUR FEET! There's a woodfire stove for the cozy factor and the bedrooms are at least 20' x 25'!
So, along the tree house right outside in the works we will be guest ready! Sure it's in the Santa Cruz mountains, but we're told the meth labs are over in Boulder Creek. As long as everyone's fine that I choose to shower and shave, I think we'll all get along fine...
We're just waiting on the final ok... then we are open for creative goodness!

Artist Quarters

Pics from last night's performance at Artist Quarters.
Thanks to canvas Dan Eisinger, the folks putting on Artist Quarters and all the inspiring artist and musicians!

The idea I had was to do 7 of these to represent the days of creation. But, with only two days to plan my new idea, I decided to keep it simple and do one:









"Let There Be Light"
Acrylic on Human
Approximately 6'
=)

After the initial "ooo a tribal man" and "what the..." I got a lot of "that is the COOLEST thing I have ever seen" and "I love watching you paint"...

Yeah I took a risk doing this at Westgate (I'm not really sure WHY, but I guess it's unusual), but hopefully more people will be encouraged to jump out of those boxes...

Where has all the art gone?

I am making a seperate blog now for different art projects i attempt.
You can find them HERE. Here's a teaser...
Good old Bob Dylan (my first attempted celebrity)...

It's not a great blog yet and I'm hoping to get a website of sorts up soon... but in the meantime, its something.
