Millennial Broke Vacation

Basically Millennials myself included can’t afford a vacation most likely without being semi homeless for a portion of it. So here are a few upgrades that will make you imagine you are at the Chateau Marmont in Hollywood. Basically it’s all about the beach / park / apartment patio fort you create yourself. I know it’s not magically going to teleport you to the Bahamas however it will recharge…

I have spent a rainy weekend painting sunshine. It rarely rains here in Southern California so the weather was both a treat and an excuse to get creative. I really like how the jungle path turned out because it reminds me of the release you get on your way to a bright beach, before you lay out your towel and relax by the sea. These are available now on my Etsy shop and would make an excellent Mother’s Day gift. Hey flowers are lovely but they die almost instantaneously. So perhaps some for the wall are a better reminder of how appreciative you are of your mom, mama mum, or mammy.

I started an Etsy page after dragging my feet forever. Finally got up enough energy to make this one happen. If you aren’t afraid of color give it a visit. https://www.etsy.com/shop/VividWalls

Getting rid of the “red tape” is something said a lot these days. But should we go back to a time where you knew the river was polluted when it…

I have always been inspired by Bohemian artwork which started originally in Prague and made it’s way to France and has had many rebirths in art.

With some of the threats to the environment I feel a push to incorporate nature into what I do.

Why I give a shit about the Environment in America. The Colors, the beauty and our identity. So maybe we shouldn't have the leader of the EPA be a guy who really doesn't care weather his decisions affect this beautiful landscape. It's worth fighting for. So speak up if you can.

Trying to stay positive. Working with my feels. :(
