Sleepyhead Mix

This mixtape was created specifically for my very favorite sleepyhead ... the one & only Mr. Ryan Hora.

you can delve into it right HERE.

First and foremost, I'd like to wish a very happy and wonderful birthday to RYAN ... my amazing and brilliantly talented man!!! Yesterday was his big day and today I'm driving down to Montgomery to bring him his cake and presents so we can celebrate in style!!!

I picked out a few special videos out just for him ...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RYAN!!!

and one more "video gift" for my Ryan ... a brand new animated Bjork treat!!!

In homefront news, I've spent the week working on

A. some shelf-type commissions for Mr. Brian Teasley:

and

B. a slew of paintings for the upcoming ArtWalk ... I work on everything at the same type and here you can see that I've spent this week adding the images:

Every time I go into the art room to work, my beautiful cat, Charley always sooner or later joins me to "help" ... haha ... See how diligently she's keeping that pile of collage stuff warm!

In Ryan news, I made a trip last Wednesday to go visit him in Montgomery and it was quite an experience ... I'd never been to his place before and I sort of felt like a tourist the whole time! haha ...

Speaking of beautiful cats, here's Ryan's own Nico, looking very radiant indeed:

We went on many an adventure, taking pictures and stuff ... this one particular abandoned apartment complex was a gold mine ... a ton of the photos way down at the bottom (at the end of this blog) are from this place:

treasure!

big money!

priceless art!

While adventuring, we chanced upon this cool newish thriftstore that actually had clothes for 25 cents! Across the street from it we discovered a backyard chock-full of cats ... Ryan counted them and there were 13 (that we could see) ... witness:

so I'm ultra-excited about going back to Ryan's (today, in fact!) ... expect more Montgomery (and birthday celebration) photos next week!!!

Shelly Jacobs posted this on facebook via Matthew Layne ... I don't know if this is an actual term, but I like calling it "creative activism" and there should be more of it going on these days! Here, here! :
