JB BLUNK RESIDENCY ~Day One









Couldn't believe the sunrise this morning...feels good to know I'll be in one spot for 2 months...can unpack and feel grounded again after over 2 years of gypsying around...found a photo last night of a man riding an Orca (my power animal), and hung it over my bed....read a book on the Olmecs before sleep, and now day one, meditation and master cleanse (day one of ten), arraigned the art studio and oil paint supplies, took notes from Dali's 50 Secrets of Magic Craftsmanship, and waited for Fedex to deliver some oils I needed before I got started (they never came), tripped out on a dried manta ray, got started instead on transforming some baseball catcher masks into props for future scenes in my film...all the bits and bobs seemed to magically come together into some America's Next Top Shaman (Hi Gus!) spirit masks...worked on a bunch of other props to hide GoPro cameras mounted on dancer bodies, and called it a day. Now that its night, I'm gonna take a short nap and then do the tutorial for Final Cut Pro so I can edit some of the films I've already shot...
