Long drive.
Posted by resonanteye on 10/25/2012
Started from Spokane. Drove through slush- and I have a front-wheel drive volvo; the front tires are also bald, ready to be replaced. Despite a few slips and slides, we made it through the night driving, Idaho, and into Utah.
We stopped at a diner full of men in camo. The place had a caged mynah bird in the back, chattering away. The food was delicious.
Somewhere in northern Utah, in the early hours/late night, I was cruising at 75mph, relaxed into the flow of driving, when right in front of me loomed a gigantic elk buck and his lady friend. She was leading him across the street, single file. I had no time to brake, but luckily he was a car’s-width from her, so I threaded the needle between them, an inch from his nose on one side and her massive haunches on the other.
“HO THERE”, I shouted, as Hawkins flinched awake and stared at the elk next to the passenger window. “ELKS!”
Drove through the land of child brides and bible billboards, until finally we got into Arizona. We spent the night at the Cameron trading post motel, an amazing, clean, silent lodge about an hour from the Grand Canyon. They had frybread on the menu, so of course I ordered enough to fill a backpack and ate it all.
Spent the day at the Canyon. Now I’m in Phoenix.
More updates later.

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.

itinerary for tour, october 2012.
Posted by resonanteye on 08/29/2012
My tattooing road trip will be starting on the first weekend of october at Legacy Tattoo in Sacramento. I’ll be there for three days, and have time as of now for appointments. I’m booking up fast though, so email me soon if you want in!
From there, I will be going to Phoenix AZ, I will be there for about ten days. If you want tattooed while I’m in the desert, you still have a few weeks to set up time with me!
After that, I am still undecided. I hope to work in Louisiana at Nakatosh Tattoo, and may possibly be doing a stop in TX, on the way east.
In the last week of october/beginning of november I will be in PA; most likely I will be working in a shop there for a few days- email me for more info, or subscribe to the weekly newsletter for updates.
My trip back west will be across the midwest; I plan to attempt to stop in a few places on my way home, although I want to avoid the worst of the winter drive, so that may be touch-and-go.

landscape paintings.
Posted by resonanteye on 05/20/2012
original 11×14″ watercolor painting, framed. $100 includes shipping.
All are the originals; click the image to see them larger, or the text caption to buy!
I’ve framed all the watercolors with tonal back mats, in fairly simple dark wooden frames with glass.
All watercolors are on arches 140lb paper (some hotpress, some cold) and oils are unframed, on gallery-wrapped canvas.
Most of these are very recent, painted this spring.
All are painted from memory and photo reference I took, OR on site, en plein aire.
Some are local scenery, and some are moments from road trips and adventures.
Additional images of these landscapes are HERE,if you would like to see them in more detail.
I do not currently have prints of any landscapes available, sorry.
click through to see the rest of the paintings!
