Full Moon in Aries Art Update + Oct. Cat GIVEAWAY!

Since it is the Full Moon in Aries and Aries just LOVES to start something new I'm super excited to tell you about a new project I'm working on so that you can be in the loop from the beginning and perhaps even get inspired to try it out for yourself.

A shamanic classmate of mine invited me to join Patreon recently to help her and her partner get their new fantasy inspired graphic novel off the ground. Patreon is an ongoing crowd-sourced funding platform that allows supporters or Patrons to donate anywhere from $1 and up monthly in exchange for awesome goodies such as: digital downloads, tutorials, q & a sessions, original art, prints, private calls, online group sessions or hangouts, glimpses behind the scene, input opportunities, studio visits, etc. - the sky's the limit. This kind of ongoing support allows the creator to fund their project(s) and expand upon it based upon pre-determined outcomes and goals.

So, this past weekend as I was pulling some oracle cards I determined that Patreon could very well work for a new zine (illustrated book) subscription service I'm working on featuring monthly collections of my art and writing. The first issue would be titled "If Your Spirit Animal Could Speak" (Subtitle: "Plus Charms To Help Find Them"). If you're interested, KEWL - email me! At this stage I'm just gaging interest levels.

Here are the latest originals from the Spirit Animal Series which are for sale in my shop or by clicking the images below.

Libra New Moon 2016

I'm always hesitant to get too personal online although I know it's the trend as it does suck folks in in a sort of soap opera way but that is just not me! I fear navel gazing and boring you with the intricacies of my own personal life and heck, it's MY personal life...nuff said.

I will share what the essence of Libra means for me though. It means the ability to adapt to any situation with grace and charm. It means having a sleeping bag and tent always at the ready in the trunk of the car in case of a good camping opportunity. It means making a party wherever you are instead of whining. So, in that spirit I introduce you to this month's New Moon oracle card from my upcoming Lefty Oracle Deck plus her/his accompanying affirmation and story-poem that will also appear in the guidebook for the deck.

To Dither or not to dither, that is the question

‘To dither or not to dither, 
that is the question.’ 
Or is it? 

Perhaps it’s the answer? 
Caught in the space in between -
the space where poetry grows
and fairies go - 
is where this question lies. 

Perhaps it’s a question
only my higher power can divine? 
Perhaps it’s not meant to be answered? 

Perhaps I shall just sit
and twiddle my thumbs
and dance my dance and call it a night. 

Perhaps in doing so
I am fulfilling my destiny after all.

Affirmation: I am fully present in the moment trusting fully that the way forward will become clear in the perfect time and perfect way.

To Dither is available as a print in my Shop.

My Lefty Oracle Deck Art Opening at Riverside Art Museum

Click here for tons of fun photos from the opening where I had folks pick a card from the deck and then come up with a pose inspired by the card...couples collaborated to come up with a small re-enactment of what the card meant to them and performed it in my booth as I snapped a pic. Folks also practiced drawing with their non dominant hand in the wee guidebook I provided.
