I updated the art for sale page, and added a ton of originals for sale at the other shop.

I’m sorting through all the prints now. I need to raise some money pretty desperately, since my car broke down…

I’ll be painting more this week. I have a few bigger crazed-animal pieces to finish up for a show I have in May. I’ll post those as they come along. Thanks again guys for checking out my stuff, and to everyone who’s gotten tattooed or bought some art lately, THANK YOU! I really appreciate the support!

recap of the sale and why.

Posted by resonanteye on 09/15/2012

I am getting ready to clear out my house and studio, and buy a camper van.

I’m going on a 6-week working trip, to make some needed money; then when I get back I plan to stay in the van until next year/next fall.

I have been broke a long time and have decided that rent is a fucking luxury, and it’s time to start trying to save money. I’ll be working my ass off and living pretty minimally for about a year at least.

Because I won’t have as much room, and because I desperately need money to buy and repair the van, I’m selling off everything I have almost. Not just my art and the things I was selling online, but everything. I’m closing my etsy shops and taking everything off my personal site’s selling pages.

So, for everything on etsy, I have a coupon code for 45% off. The coupon code is nomadlife. I’ll be closing the shops on the 19th.

My etsy shops:

http://resonanteyes.etsy.com - original paintings and art

http://paperanji.etsy.com - taxidermy, skulls, stones, and nature things

http://printeranji.etsy.com - prints

On my own site everything for sale is at http://resonanteye.net/buyit

if you see something there you want MAKE ME AN OFFER, even a low offer is welcome right now.

Then, I am selling all my shoes, VHS collection (mostly horror and weirdness), hats, costume things, and all my other collections (skulls and such) at my ebay

http://myworld.ebay.com/resonanteye1

please, please buy all my crap. if you want something but it’s too expensive just email me at resonanteye (at) gmail.com and make me an offer.

I need to get rid of as much stuff, and get together as much cash, as I possibly can this month.

Again, please boost/repost or share this, anyplace, every little bit helps.

I also have a wepay and a google checkout, if you hate paypal and want to use something else to buy with.

 

 

Anything that doesn’t sell? Is going right into a bonfire. So if you want it, get it now.

Yes, that includes all the artwork.

Summer in Oregon.

Posted by resonanteye on 07/17/2012

Hiking, camping, crawdadding, target shooting, and lichen/mushroom/edible plant gathering along the Alsea.

We’re off toward the coast now for another few days’ adventure.

insomnia.

Posted by resonanteye on 06/23/2012

When I was a kid, I stayed up all night and was exhausted every morning. I lay in bed, wide awake, waiting to sleep.

Now I don’t know for sure if it is a result of chemicals in my brain, anxiety from some trauma I have long forgotten, or just a natural state for me, but at night I am wide eyed and alert. I think clearly, I work better and harder, I thrive. When the sun comes up I begin to yawn, and I would, if I could, sleep always on a late-afternoon wake-up schedule.

I think there is some kind of name for this. I don’t know if it’s delayed sleep phases, or what. But, also, over time my sleep gets a tiny bit later, and later, and later. until I have come full circle and I wake up at 8 AM! I have tried every means to control this sleep mayhem and haven’t found a way yet.

Right now, I take ambien one night- lunesta the next- temazepam the next, then start over. I don’t want to get tolerant of my sleeping pills, I want them to keep working for me.

I guess the only reason I even try to make a day schedule or any normal one is that I like to be able to go to work and tattoo people! And I can’t wake up at 5pm and do much of that…

So I keep trying for a somewhat normal schedule. I’d love to go to sleep at three AM, wake up at noon. That’s nine whole hours. I usually get ten hours, but I could do with nine, right?

I mean, the hours I am awake I work, I do all the things anyone else would do in the daytime, in the morning.

If I could survive just selling non-tattoo artworks, I could stop fighting my sleep schedule, and maybe that would make a difference. But I don’t know for sure, I’ve never done that.

Well, here’s to all of you wide-eyed people under the stars. You’re not alone. If you have any advice, ideas, or experiences of your own with insomnia (especially lifelong insomnia) feel free to overload the comments below, I would love to hear about your sleep struggles.

It’ll be more fun than counting sheep, I promise.

the flu has decided to visit.

Posted by resonanteye on 04/04/2012

I’m beginning the flu.

(picture unrelated- it’s rocks I found at the coast the other day)

Mary is still here, she has been making me tea and she cleaned my kitchen (out of pity), which was sweet of her. She has also taken over all the lumberjack duties, and seems entranced with the process of chopping wood. (to the point of injuring herself by falling on an axe- nothing major, just a drop of blood.)

She runs a nonprofit, and is a world traveler. I will say that she certainly knows how to be a great guest, and has some brilliant plans, and goals. I like her idealism and I can’t wait to see her travels- you can find her site at http://www.nonquistadora.com/Nonquistadora/about.html

Right now she’s looking for sponsors for her long north/south trip through the americas. She’ll be on a motorbike, riding solo. She’s one of those genuine, kind, people that makes me feel like my nihilism and pessimistic view of the world should maybe lighten up a little. And her work is very worthwhile- you should take a peek at her page, her trip will be beginning very soon, so there will be some good updates there.

As for the flu, I’m taking every magical hippy vitamin I can find. And now I shall go chug some nyquil.

The site’s facelift should be done soon! I’m really excited to see what Phanie comes up with for my front page here.
