My show is in exactly one month. I’m feeling both extremely excited and extremely stressed out. I have bitten off a healthy mission to accomplish, combining my tattoo work, paining work, and fashion. In my recent sessions, I have been finding such a deep place within myself - a mindstate, a meditative place. Painting is turning out to be the safest place in the world for me right now, and I am fully pressing into this moment in my life.

I think what I’ve realized is that a window of opportunity has opened up for me in life, maybe one that always has been slightly cracked until now. I have a window to really push the dream through and make it a reality - the dream of being a world-renown artist. The dream of making meaningful art for the world to see, enjoy and ultimately moved by. For me, I’m looking at my solo show as my entry way into the world. I have such a feeling about it, that it’s going to really start my career and the next chapter of my life. It’s going to be my passport to the a new experience and a new perspective on this journey we call life.

The next month is going to be quite challenging. I have a lot to do and each moment of each day matters. I am now living with a subtle pressure that doesn’t ever turn off. One that bites at me when I wake up to get going and one that delays me from putting down the brush. I am creating with a sense of urgency right now… putting the phone away, getting off the internet, getting quiet with myself. Jumping fully into the process without distractions. I want each paint stroke and each small hard decision that goes into this experience to be felt by yall. I want everyone to be inspired and encouraged in their creativity, to receive the energy that is put forth.

I don’t have much more that I can say today other than I’m at work. And I am proud of myself for showing up to the weekly blog <3.
