Maturing is realizing rest isn’t wasted time.

I’ve been reminded of that one this week. 😂

I’m really good at the “I have 47 things to do, I’ll rest when they’re finished” approach to life.

Except the things are never finished.

Sometimes you choose to slow down.

And sometimes your body/the universe basically says, “Cool. I’ll make that decision for you.”

So this week’s creative accomplishment has been resting, recovering and trying not to feel guilty about everything I’m not getting done.

Turns out rest is part of doing the work too.

I’ll get back to making weird art soon. 🖤

I took a LOT of art classes.

Drawing. Painting. Color theory. Portraiture. Anatomy.

And technically… I use all of it. 😂

I just don’t remember anyone mentioning that someday I’d be painting giant glowing portraits of DJs on actual human beings under blacklights.

Yet here we are.

That’s one of my favorite things about having a creative life. You learn skills without always knowing where they’re going to take you.

Sometimes they take you somewhere completely different than you planned.

Apparently mine took me here. 🎨

And I’m pretty damn happy about it.

SOMETHING SWEET IS DROPPING THIS WEEKEND… 🍭👀

Shanndyland has a new toy.

It’s neon.
It’s weird.
It’s full of tiny surprises.
And its advice is questionable at best. 😂

Making its debut exclusively at the Candyland Pride Event THE FRUIT Come see me, get some paint, glitter and a rare fortune if you can handle it 🥰🎨🎨❤️

Come get your fortune…Consider it part gumball machine, part fortune teller, part tiny chaos dispenser.

When was the last time you did something for the first time?

For some of these guests, it was letting someone freestyle UV paint across their skin with no sketch, no predetermined design and no idea what they would look like when I finished.

Just a little trust, a lot of neon and whatever their energy told me to paint. Everyone’s paint is always unique, just like them.

The best part was watching them see themselves glowing for the first time. The smiles said everything.

Maybe your next favorite experience starts with saying yes to something you’ve never tried before. 🖤✨ Follow me… because I always bring the fun!!!

Ten years ago this month, I hadn’t even started body painting.

Then I had the opportunity to learn one-on-one from Cheryl Ann and apparently that opened a beautiful neon door. 😂

I had no idea that experience would eventually lead me to UV paint, blacklights, bodies as canvases, festivals, installations, collaborations, and some of my favorite creative experiences.

Maturing is realizing you haven’t even discovered some of the things you’re going to love yet.

We spend so much time worrying that we’re behind, running out of time, or that the best parts of our lives have already happened.

Meanwhile, something could be waiting around the corner that you don’t even know you love yet.

How amazing is that?

Thank you, Cheryl Ann for introducing me to a medium that completely changed where my creativity could go. 🖤🎨

5 years ago ….
I got to do what every graphic designer wants to do … I was hired to design a b**r label for Little brother Brewing for their Pride b**r. I accidentally found it being served during North Carolina Folk Festival b**r design already out and being served! It was yummy!!!! Thanks Little Brother Brewing for this wonderful opportunity and the yummy fruited gose.

This is my kind of Saturday night. 🖤⚡️ Thank

Blacklights on. Music loud. Paint glowing. People actually getting INTO it.

This is why I love creating for nightlife and adult events. It’s not just about getting painted. It becomes part of the night.

Come for the party. Become part of the art.

More of this, please. 🖤
