Finally conquered that darn switchback at Starr Pass thanks to the patience of my buddies, @rustypedal and @goodolenam, after a dozen attempts. What you can't see is the cliff drop I was riding toward on the rock. Brip brap dang! (at Starr Pass, Tucson)
Today didn't suck. Did my first @transitcycles bottle drop on the Sun Circle Loop (hint hint) and took the Salsa Timberjack demo bike on a date to the trails. It rode quite nice and I might be in ❤️.
I don't have a photo from today's demonstration but here's my little ode to pussy positivity and to the equality/health/safety/acceptance of sex workers, queers, gender non-conformists, LGBTQIAs, youth, elders, witches, trans* folx, people of color and indigenous people. Thank you for your wisdom, your work, your brilliance, your resistance--you inspire. Get heard; rise up.
Writing by Zoe Leonard in 1992--"I want a president." Still so relevant. Stay strong, safe and wise, friends. Respect existence or accept resistance.
Need to frame this little nugget. 13 x 3.75 inches.
Here's to looking forward and embracing the right kind of change and the right to action. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. ~ Martin Luther Ling Jr
Prickly pear portal. Drawing on salvaged wood.
Tested a couple trails at Robles yesterday on my Ogre and claimed a booty full of prickly pear spines which was more hilarious than painful. So many changes are happening in my life and I feel as off balance as I did on my bike. Questioning all my decisions both on the dirt and in life. Nothing bad just the uncertainty of what's to come, but I'm looking forward to gaining momentum this year with my art, new job and rolling around more in 2017.
Had my eyeballs checked today for their health and a new glasses prescription (3 years overdue), and here's the photo. . Not stoked about the high cost of the glasses, though. Is it shitty to cancel the order the following day and order elsewhere?
Still can't believe these two blooming sagauro cuties didnt get scooped up last weekend. They're now available in my etsy shop (link in bio). ♡ Feed the bats, the insects & the bees
Delivered this cutie to some dear friends the other day. It looks so great in their colorful casita. ♡♡
#tbt to this treacherous moment amongst loose rock and a narrow trail. Glad we didn't fall! ;)
Sleepy desert. Sleepy life.
Delivered these two paintings today to the sweetest lady and couldn't be happier to have them housed with other beautiful local southwestern art. Thanks to everyone who made it out this weekend and to everyone who supports me making art! . Metal frames made @rustypedal. Now I need to make more art!
Feeling honored to have my work up at the @tinandteak opening tonight. Here's a sneak peak of my work with my incredibly talented partner @rustypedal! . More rad makers and shakers with jewelry and clothing by @worstwestern @c.seizo and @luca_ryann_ ... and of course @tinandteak will have their impeccable selection of vintage jewelry and furniture available. . Today and tomorrow, 12-6pm. 204 W Grant Rd Suite 120, Tucson Az. I hope to see y'all there!
Just a teaser for tomorrow night at the @tinandteak Grand Opening. Excited to have these tiny ones on display and ready for new homes.
