A Tour of My Studio. :]

Alriiight. 
I finally have things organized and set up to start production on my newest Series of paintings. 
I want to get a few done before school get's back in full swing. (Don't wanna think about it.)
So, here we go:

Welcome! 
We are in the garage, by the bottom of my stairs of which I've claimed some space.
Please disregard the painting in the back ground... It was a part of a series done in Color Theory and I'm outta canvases so I'm painting over it very soon.



As you can see, i have some type of shelving with all of my solvents, paper towels, jars, paints, etc.
To the left of the wine rack turned studio shelving is my BRAND NEW SPACE HEATER!
It lives in my room but does a FANTASTIC job in this area as well.
I can't imagine painting downstairs right now without it. 
Thanks, Jessi!




 ALL IS TRUTH!
lol
rolls of tape,
lamp, 
"Life can be too too."

In fact, i love it, and will get more.
Chrystal found it for me at a shop in Boston Ave. :]






Gray scale... 
I'm going to work in Grisaille for the time being.






Jessi got me some new pins...
"Before therapy i was a raging asshole, But I'm comfortable with that now."

&
"I WISH I WAS HOME IN BED."










Book Shelf.
Buddha.
Skulls.





 Table where less toxic activities occur.
Acrylic.
Collages.
Inks.


Some over saturation happened.






This is the back of the bar in my room.
Piles of paintings.
Piles of prints.
My note wall.






This is my coffee pot. 
My new stackable coffee mugs. :] 
And a good ole' dust buster.






I hope you so thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
I feel so much better to have things where i want them.
:::sigh of relief:::

Who knows.

Budget-friendly Reading.

I downloaded Kindle for PC.
There are plenty of free books to choose from.
Here's a look at my free library:


Currently 47% through Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
I never read it as a child...
So...
There's always time to catch up on your readings....

Dust of Orion Nebula

“Rape culture is telling girls and women to be careful about what you wear, how you wear it, how you carry yourself, where you walk, when you walk there, with whom you walk, whom you trust, what you do, where you do it, with whom you do it, what you drink, how much you drink, whether you make eye contact, if you’re alone, if you’re with a stranger, if you’re in a group, if you’re in a group of strangers, if it’s dark, if the area is unfamiliar, if you’re carrying something, how you carry it, what kind of shoes you’re wearing in case you have to run, what kind of purse you carry, what jewelry you wear, what time it is, what street it is, what environment it is, how many people you sleep with, what kind of people you sleep with, who your friends are, to whom you give your number, who’s around when the delivery guy comes, to get an apartment where you can see who’s at the door before they can see you, to check before you open the door to the delivery guy, to own a dog or a dog-sound-making machine, to get a roommate, to take self-defense, to always be alert always pay attention always watch your back always be aware of your surroundings and never let your guard down for a moment lest you be sexually assaulted and if you are and didn’t follow all the rules it’s your fault.”
The llama price range can vary from $200 to $1000-plus for males and $400 to $3500-plus for females.













If you missed the Lunar Eclipse like I did...

because of the COMPLETE cloud coverage:

Lunar Eclipse Tonight.

There's No Place Like Home.

Today, one year ago, we were scrambling to get in here, our new house. After three quick months of almost nightly hard work, we got out of that damn FEMA trailer just in time for aythen to celebrate his first Christmas in a home. It's taken time to get it to where it is now, more complete every day, but it does feel like home. Happy "move in" anniversary to us! :)
Chrystal and Aaron:
You two are some of the most motivated and dedicated people I have ever known.
You work hard without bitching; never making excuses or cursing your bad luck--instead you make things what you see in your mind and you guys nurture that idea until it comes into being.
In short, I just want to send out this message to you through the void that is the vast internet and let you know that you're a true inspiration.
Anything worth doing in this life will be at your expense.
You can't just wish something into being. You have to make it happen--more often than not, all by your lonesome.
I'm proud of you both.
:]

Michael is in the hospital.
He had surgery on his infected lymph node.
I took him for a walk.
He was loopy and it was funny.
LOL.

Example of gravitational lensing. Credits to NASA and ESA.

The brighter, more yellow galaxies represent one of the largest known galaxy clusters, and are located in the foreground of this picture. Collectively their gravity is so strong that it bends the light of all the galaxies behind them, and produces the wide-angle lens effect.
