Muraling in the freezing cold, but hey, it's still muraling!

Oh yes, It was a cold one today, the coldest so far! At 5:30 when we were all done for the day, I thought I had some sort of frost bite on my toes, being they were frozen and I couldnt even feel them! I rode my bike home, thought I'd get my blood flowing in the process, but nooooo, My toes didn't thaw for like an HR!!!
Otherwise, I have had some excellent help lately, mostly from fellow artists! Therefore this means they know what they are doing and do it well! I have to give a shout out to Rafael, an old friend from SFAI, Alexa Frasier Herron, also a buddy from SFAI, and up and coming film maker, check out her film collective Scary Cow, Dan Stromberg http://chilibean.biz/, and Paul Jimenez from San Pancho Art Collective. These people are so hard core that they painted with me all day, even in the 40 degree weather! I love the feeling of community I am getting lately!
Speaking of community, San Pancho Art Collective had its first ever fundraiser! Not sure how much we raised but it was so much fun! I was raffle girl, I tried to speak on stage but my voice didn't carry like Socratese! Our MC for da night and SPAC member, Persia on stage was on fire! Her voice carried us thru the raffle with ease and clarity!!! We raffled off all kinds of goodies, like origional art from nining Muir, and a live painting made right there in front of everyone by Eli Lippert from Precite Eyes Murals!!! It was a hit BTW!!! Every one wanted that piece! It was crazy!! I recommend next time we do this event, YOU SHOULD GO!!! We even did it up with free BBQ!!
Anyhow, Its been busy busy round here!! Come check out da mural at gouph and eddy, ya gotta check it out thru a chain link fence but it's lookin good, only have 2 panels left to start on, out of nine! I'm so proud of all us SF artists makin it happen!! I lost my camera, hopefully I will be able to start posting photos again, Santa are you listening!!! Ha! OK thanks for reading, have a great couple days until I can post again!!!

new blog, lets see if i actually use it

and if people actually read it.

I am an artist, and came here to find a blog i wanted to read and ended up doing this. I also did something today i have rarely ever done before, i jogged around the block. What an exciting day...I hope to be able to jog for 4 miles every day like my friend Bob.

But I wish for a lot of things, like working full time on my paintings and general artist lifestyle, going to openings, having my own, running a successful gallery, maybe helping people in the midst, like bringing art to schools that have cut out art in their curriculum to save money, booooo! But for now i am curating at Pure Beauty Salon on Haight st. for the new monthly Haight st. art walk. Also working at a museum, and reception at the above named salon. This month is an artist named Gina Contreras. She is a printmaker from SFAI, the college I graduated from. Her work is very professional and clean, heartfelt, delicate. Sort of like her personality, quiet, but full of detail and content. Her work has a wall paper pattern aestetic, with lovely and humerouse depictions of the elderly holding hands, or walking on the beach, in pastel or muted color.
Come check it out on friday may 29th, 1560 haight st, haight at clayton, 6-9pm. The Haight St art walk has the stores doing sales and discounts for that night only, some free gifts and of course art, there are even bands!!!!!!!!!!!!
