everyday you wait is a day you won’t get back.

reveal yourself. what makes you different?

the world is full of people and corporations who claim to be authentic, creative, game-changing, innovative, inspiring, and paradigm-shifting. sounds great, but that’s not good enough for me. i want to be with/work with/collect the work of someone who shows fall-down, crazy stupid love for their work. i want to be surrounded by people who are alluring, beguiling, blazing, bursting, epic, frenzied, ravenous, and volcanic. i want passion to erupt.

join me.

have you ever let yourself go?

i have…and it feels fantastic.

art is not about making something pretty. it’s about letting go and seeing what surfaces.

wanna let go?

bring along a group of friends, it can be scary by yourself.

standard set up is 90 minute (or so)

you’ll paint on 16 x 20 or equal canvas – use my supplies, paints, brushes, super secret materials and more.

bring your own fuel whatever that may be.

dress like johnny depp, but try to smell like elizabeth taylor. i”ll provide the julia child aprons.

wanna jump?

i did. still do.

not necessarily way high out of a plane.

i want to leap and feel my stomach drop and experience my knees wobbling like grandmothers jello, popping out of her copper colored molds.  i have a desire to send notice to my exhilaration nerves that i’m still alive.

parachute is a one day workshop for makers.

you will leave with a pack full of…

strategies to prepare for the winds that will blow you back and forth.
guides and specific resources on how to sell you crap before you hit the ground.
tips on when to pull the emergency cord and when to just let it go.
lessons on how to take that glorious selfie without a wind blown look.

i’ve got some.

somewhere. unless i need them.

i need jumper cables from time to time.

my battery runs low.  i leave the lights on all night.  i chill waiting for the next sporting event in the parking lot – a little too long.

i need them to jumpstart by brain.  my arms.  my hands.  my feet.

i can’t be running 24-7 and start right up on command all the time!

my brain is tired.  my frontal lobe is confused, perhaps jumbled or maybe just totally empty.

as a maker and creative energy junkie, i need jumper cables to take some juice from another source and surge it over to me. sometimes red bull just doesn’t cut it.

that what “jumper cables” is all about.

jumper cables is a one day jump start for your creative team.

a six hour cram sesh to stretch creative team members to remember why you started

june 15 – june 19, 2015

9:00 am – noon

art show with kids work june 19

we draw.  we paint. we photograph. we try + fail + try + succeed.

i’m not a magician.

but i play one in the studio. i have several tricks up my sleeve.  the difference between me and david copperfield?  claudia shiffer won’t return my phone calls + i willingly share my secrets.

are you artcurious?

spend the day with me.  bring a note book. dress to mess + i will impress.

i promise to share what i know.  what works and what doesn’t when it comes to materials, supplies, techniques, how to and where to.

crowded coffee shop. dirty kitchen table. low riding couch.  where do you work just to avoid the desk space that reminds you of a recent episode of hoarders?

would you be obsessed with starting new conquests if that space was as crisp + inspiring as what you see in magazines or your own instagram feed, instead.

sign up for my set yo’ space challenge and get five days of easy like sunday morning  challenges to assist in setting up an escape station that you will be fall down, crazy stupid in love with.

join some of the most popular and inspirational designers and bloggers around.  we will bring you tips and tricks to create an environment capable of volcanic eruptions of energy and frenzied moments of accomplishment while at the same time be calming to the soul.

you can do this + the price tag of zero dollars means you can afford it too.

the challenge begins april 27.

see you in your inbox.
