Turbo Frankie...

2/3/2021

 
I spent all day cleaning and at night drew myself dancing with a broom, like Turbo in the movie Breakin’.

Alum Rock Park...

12/4/2020

 
About a month ago I set a goal to hike every open trail at Alum Rock Park before the end of the year. Today I thought I was going to finish but then realized I missed a couple short trails that both cross Penitencia Creek. (circled on the map below) There’s water running down the creek so I’m not going to cross it. Instead I’m going to walk both sets trails from each side of the creek and be done with it. Next I’ll finish hiking the Boccardo Loop Trail, part of the Santa Clara County Open Space Authority, which I hiked for the first time today and absolutely loved.

Lights & To-Do's...

11/12/2020

 
Besides watching some YouTube videos on how to light an artist workspace I got nothing artsy fartsy or businessy to report today. I did check off a few things from my To-Do list which was nice.

Fix It Frankie...

7/18/2020

 
Today I replaced the old front door knob and deadbolt at home then went to Home Depot to make key copies. Then I went to Costco and bought a new car cover canopy for my dad to replace his old one. When I got home I cleaned the shower head and fixed the shutoff valve that was seized shut. Later I then got to work vectorizing some designs in Adobe Illustrator for a project I'm working on. It was a very productive day. Up next is patching & painting holes in the drywall and helping my dad assemble the canopy after taking part the old one.

tomorrow...

6/16/2020

 
I didn't anything artsy today. I'm still tired from the event I DJ'd on Saturday. I just did laundry and went out to buy groceries & supplies. Tomorrow I'll try and fix all the little fuck ups I made while inking my recent drawings: Brains/Guts, Hearts & Stars, and Eyes & Mouths. I got my bottle of Pro White ready to go. I hope it matches the paper. How shitty is the name? Especially right now. I love the red P logo tho! Simple, clean & chonky

I Did Nothing Artsy today...

5/19/2020

 
Just went thru emails, updated my calendar, made a couple phone calls, worked out at home, walked for a few miles, and rented Jojo Rabbit. Tomorrow I go back to work on this sumumabitch.

Paint Kill 2020...

4/26/2020

 
Today I went thru tubs full of old acrylic craft paints and spray paint to see which ones are still good and throw away the bad ones. If the acrylics were clumpy/boogery or almost empty I threw the paint at a wooden panel and canvas. I then used the wet canvases to test the spray paint. In the end I scraped off a bunch of paint from the center of the canvas and scribed an X into the wood panel. Both were looking really nasty but kinda cool. I might let them dry and keep them as-is or I'll use them to test my bucket paints next.

2019 Spending

12/22/2019

 
I'm going through all my credit card transactions from 2019 and making sure I log which ones where for personal use and which ones were business expenses. I've covered 7 months of transactions so far.  I hate seeing how much money I've wasted on fast food and interest fees. I gotta be better about those things. I need to eat at home more (also good for my health) and make more money to pay off my credit card debt. Those are two good resolutions for 2020. I've also decided it's time to open a business credit card. Going thru all these transactions and figuring out which ones were personal and which ones were business takes way too much time. 

Oil Change & Tire Rotation

12/17/2019

 
I changed the oil in my car today and rotated the tires. When I went to drain the oil I found that the metal plate covering the drain plug & filter was bent. If it ain't one thing, it's another. The plastic it was bolted on too, part of it had been pulled off the metal frame as well. I can probably clip the plastic back to the frame if I find replacement clips and then bend the metal plate back into place. Wish me luck. 

Old Stuff & Updates

12/13/2019

 
I've been cleaning house these last few days. Knocking out some to-dos, clearing out email and deleting old shit. Today I came across the flyer for my first, and only, solo art show. (October 1st, 2011 at 8:00 PM,) an animated gif I made from a drawing (Plantimal,) and a crappy picture of the Hoverboard prop I made for my Marty Mcfly Halloween costume many-many moons ago (that's where Frankie Mcfly came from)

And in other news:
  • The date for my next scheduled art show is Friday, May 1, 2020
  • I've added a Contact page & form to this website

Sunday, sunday, Sunday!

10/6/2019

 
Shit I gotta do today:
  • Sleep. It's almost 5:00 AM and I'm running on 4 hours of sleep from the night before.
  • Finish my drawing for Inktober Day 5. I've only done the pencil sketch so far.
  • Draw something for Inktober Day 6
  • Wash, dry & put away laundry
  • De-prep all my vendor gear that I used on Friday
  • Count & fold my t-shirts and update my online store's inventory.
  • Figure out my budget for reprinting shirts.
  • Clean my desk
  • Work on, and hopefully finish, my first Inktober zine.
  • Hopefully knock out a few other things that have been on my to-do list for a while.

The to-do list

9/26/2019

 
I crossed these things off my to-do list today:
  • Read & sent out work emails. These are for upcoming events I'm DJing 
  • Went thru personal emails and unsubscribed from a bunch of mailing lists.
  • Cleaned my desk. I threw away and put away a lot of shit.
  • I updated my to-do list. 
  • Created a doc to log all my cash & credit card sales at events this year.
  • Spent a long time looking for all the info needed to fill in that doc. I had the numbers written on a bunch of different notes. I even had to go thru my recycling bin looking for notes.
  • Made plans to go out for dinner tomorrow with my cousin Reyna. She assisted Arely and I at the Jazz Festival last month.
  • Paid my car registration and renewed my Costco card online. 
  • I went to cook the chicken & veggies I bought last week but the chicken went bad so I just cooked the veggies.
  • Spent an hour or two stretching & lifting weights. I watched the first half of the movie Turbo Kid while I was stretching.
  • Went to gym and got the treadmill for an hour. I ran 30 and walked 30. It's been almost a month since the last time I ran.
  • Uploaded a couple posts to my Insta @frankiemcfly
  • Now here I am posting my daily blog entry before bed. I think this is blog post #27
