Painting a day fundraiser::Starts TODAY! $35/+ship

Hi team,
Mississippi Rising 9" x 12' : Buying this painting will send love to me and the 'Ol Mississippi

I've chosen today to start my painting a day fundraiser for my upcoming record: Radixxx. I'll be painting one painting a day for 25 days (maybe 2 sets of this) with the hopes of getting enough scratch together to record the album in a way that is professional and hot. If you know my music, you know my last effort was recorded by me, in my kitchen, with me playing all the instruments. While this was an amazing experience for me; in the end it was not as tight musically as I would want today. That was 2 years ago and I've grown into another Dagger. I'm not a one-woman band any longer and my live shows incorporate visuals, the band, singers, props and dancers. It's a lot of work but it's a multi-layered performance experience that me and the performers can be proud of.

Please consider buying one of these paintings and supporting musicians and being a part of it all.

In Honor of Foot Patrol's music and Hung; A little recording I with TJ on 5-23-09 talking about his foot fetish and it's early development

In honor of Foot Patrol's Hung and TJ being on the front of the Austin Chronicle last week ((sorry I'm late...but I just saw it Wed!)) I'm posting an old .mp3 I recorded of TJ Wade talking about his foot fetish and it's early developments. Like Hung I worked with TJ at the Texas School for the Blind and Visually impaired for many years. (in fact when I named my blog "music mania" it was after the long running karaoke on Wed nights at TSB. Many of us musicians, we jammed along with the students if they wanted. When TJ refers to "RI's" that would be me and Hung and others like us that took care on the dorms after school. Love to Hung and his crew! People that also worked at TSB litter their band.

I got in. It's my first public city of Austin exhibit. Art runs wild over there; over 150 works were selected for a year long showing at The People's Gallery. My 6' woodcut entitled "Bird Maid" ~view directly above~was selected and sits on the first floor over by the snack bar. Go see her! Digital Print below. http://www.ci.austin.tx.us/cityhall/gallery.htm

Past Prints, all vary in size, all wood cuts. The newest, "eyes without a face" has just finished drying in my studio.

ASH Bash - Fundraiser for the Austin State Hospital

ooh guess what?? Another art show. another music show. another community event I'm happy to be involved in. This time it's ASH Bash - a party and art auction for the Austin State Hospital. I've given a painting (the digital version posted above) and it's up for auction. Here is the web site http://ashbash.org/. As a side note: did you know that the campus of the Austin State Hospital is a historical landmark? It's downright beautiful but creepy There are historic trails to walk and a really old school building and church on campus, too. It's open to the public so if you're in Austin it's worth a visit. Check out the ASH Bash-- Art by Professional artists as well as inmates/clients of ASH

That last blog title was for THIS post::: Show for HAAM at the ND

I am a community gal. I don't always "make the scene" as they say, and I'm not a hipster. I'm a hip gal that happens to be obsessed with art and healing which is why these events are so enjoyable to me. The ND is at 501 Studios, it's a huge venue, and the sound there is really great.

Please come join me!!! I go on at 4:30 pm.
