Hato, niwikana! Hello, my friends!
As I work on marketing my artwork and Online Studio, I am going to extend my break from the podcast for another week or so. I need to think about getting more earrings and paintings made, while also helping around the house and getting things fixed up.

[Opening & Intro Music]
Niyawe! Thank you for checking out the Shawnee Rising Podcast and tuning in to the last episode of season 2. This has been a pretty good season. A lot of things happened during this season and I only hope things keep getting better. I feel like I’m starting to get a hang of this podcast thing and I really hope that my podcast will continue to grow and get better. It was a slow start, but things are slowly starting to come together. I’ve been a pretty patient person most of my life, and this is just one more thing I need to allow to grow and take shape naturally, while feeding it organic and authentic content.

Hato, niwikana! Hello, my friends!
I just wanted to give you some news on some changes and a few small upgrades happening here at Shawnee Rising Studios.
To help support Shawnee Rising Studios, you can become a member of my Patreon with a monthly contribution starting at just $1 a month! You can upgrade or cancel at anytime. If you don’t want to pledge for a month and just want to support what I do, then you can buy me a coffee! Yep, head over to buymeacoffee.com/shawneerising and you can donate, or buy me a coffee, for as little as $2.
The more I upgrade my equipment and am able to buy art supplies, the better my content will get, and the more I can share with you as I journey to become a full-time creator!
So, if you’re ready:
Continue reading Changes and A Few Small Upgrades
One week in and I have received such awesome feedback and compliments on the shop and art pieces. I want to thank everybody for such kind words. There’s not a lot right now, but there’s more still to come!
Continue reading One Week Open and Looking to the Future!
The Shawnee Rising Studios online shop is now OPEN and ready for business!
Head over and check out original paintings and earrings, with even more items still to come! New items will be uploaded as soon as they’re finished and prepared. So check back regularly!
February 1st is coming up fast and I am looking forward to dropping some artwork into the Online Studio. I have six paintings that are ready to go and I’m in the process of making some earrings. I have some bracelets and a few more items ready to drop as well.
Also, in addition to canvas paintings, I will be creating my own paper and using it for various mediums: acrylic, water color, graphite, mixed media, and whatever else I can find to sling on it. I think making my own paper will make the piece that much more unique and personal. It also allows me to recycle old paper into something useful.
I’ll be recording my process of making my own paper in a future YouTube vlog, so keep a look out for the notification on the socials for when it drops.
I’ve mentioned it before, but if you want monthly shop discounts and want to see some exclusive content, like a behind the scenes look into my studio or what I’m working on, then become a patron, a subscribed member of my Patreon. Your monthly contributions help keep me doing what I love and they also help me upgrade my art supplies and equipment, which means higher quality content.
I currently have four tiers: $1, $5, $10, and $25. The higher tiers, 10 and 25 dollars, receive a free gift 3 months after they sign up and then every 3 months afterward, for a whole year! Just a way of saying thanks for the awesome support.
So, if you’re ready…
Become a Patron!If, for any reason, you can’t afford a monthly subscription to Patreon, there is another option. You can buy me a coffee…for real! Buy Me a Coffee is a simple, easy, and awesome way to support the creators you believe in by donations, or buying them a coffee!
On my page, you can donate, or buy me a coffee, for as little as $2, or however much you want. Also, if you don’t care to hassle with Patreon, you can become a monthly or annual subscriber on Buy Me a Coffee as well, but without all the perks that you get on Patreon. It’s simple and easy.
You can find the Buy Me a Coffee button at the bottom of the screen and support me without ever leaving my site! Just look for the coffee cup.
Or, you can click the button below and go straight to the website…
Any amount, no matter how small, is appreciated more than I could express!
My podcast is till running! I’ve recorded and published 7 episodes at the time of writing this, and this season will only have 10 episodes. I’m still new to this podcast thing, and definitely new to talking a lot, but everything is going good and I’m having a lot of fun doing podcasts.
So, just know that your contributions from Patreon and/or Buy Me a Coffee goes toward the Shawnee Rising Podcast as well. For the free version of PodBean, the podcast platform I am using, they only allow 5 hours of record time before I have to upgrade to a paid version.
I’m almost out of time…!
It’s not very much, but subscriptions start to add up when you’re running a website that require other subscriptions.
If you listen to my podcast, niyawe! thank you! If not, then that’s ok, too? But if you’re curious, go ahead and take a listen.
Let me know what you think!
Everything that I’m doing is out of my comfort zone. Patreon, Buy Me a Coffee, selling my artwork…it’s all actually really hard for me to do. I have a hard time asking for money, even when selling a piece of work. I understand that to make a profit and a living income I will have to ask uncomfortable prices for my work. But, I think if I can get higher quality equipment and supplies, I feel like that the content and creations will be worth the price, because I fight internally with believing that my work is even worth anything to anybody.
I know everyone struggles with this issue. I know it will always feel like my work isn’t good enough. I just want to thank those who have been sticking by me, believing in me, and supporting me. There are still a lot of things I have planned for my future, ideas I hope will become reality someday.
With the help and support from family, friends, and even strangers, I believe I will achieve those goals.
Salanoki Kenole. Niyawe!
In February, 2021, I will be posting all of my artwork into my online shop for my grand (re)opening.
Why February and not January? I keep finding more things that I need, like having boxes for shipping. Pretty important! I’m going to do it, no matter the circumstances. I’ve grown tired of waiting around. As long as I have the basic items necessary to ship packages, I’m going to do it this time!
So, in February, everything’s up for grabs!
Continue reading My Online Shop Grand Opening…Again!
Changes are happening all over the site, starting with the addition of my shop page with sub-menu links to my off-site shops like Threadless and Society6. The only products that have been added are my books, located on lulu.com, and will be all you see for the time being until I begin creating and posting works to the shop.
It’s happening, folks! Everything is finally coming together and my shop is beginning to take shape.

I have never been good at keeping new years resolutions. For as long as I can remember making them, I’ve never followed through with one. Too many things happen in a year that change my plans and I end up going in a different direction or I just don’t do it.
But, as the holidays come to a close and a new year is just around the corner, I find myself thinking about the things I hope to accomplish in the year 2020. So, do I make resolutions?
I don’t think I will.

Hello, how are you doing?
Welcome back to Shawnee Rising Studios!
I’m still getting things set up for my grand opening in October, and I thought I would share a little more about who I am and what I’m looking to get out of my blog and online store.

The Shawnee Rising Studios online store is almost here, and I’m shooting for October for the grand opening.
Why am I waiting so long?

In recent months I’ve contemplated starting a vlog, or video blog, on YouTube. It’s something I’ve been interested in doing for a while, but my anxiety seems to always get the best of me. I can come up with a million ways why I shouldn’t do it or why it wouldn’t be beneficial to anyone, but I’ve made a promise to myself to face my fears and to do the things that I’ve been too afraid to do, and if I’m being honest, it scares the hell out of me.
Continue reading Video Blog??
Yep! That’s right. I’m a failure…
There are so many things I wanted to complete by the end of 2018 and I didn’t finish any of them!
Resolutions for 2018:
Always trying to update my Threadless shop with new products, so if you’re looking for some one-of-a-kind pillows, my shop is the place to go for some awesome designs.
I’m always adding to the shop, so keep checking back for brand new designs and products.
More pillow designs are in the process of being made, so check back often if you’re looking for something specific, or just let me know what you’re looking for and maybe I can help you find what you’re looking for.
Thank for stopping by, and head on over the contact page for any questions, comments, or just to say hello!

Hiteto! Hello!
I’ve been working on some new designs and artwork for a new shop that I’ve opened up on Threadless.com.
Some of the designs can be found on Society6 and Redbubble, but I am creating some artwork and designs that can only be found on threadless.
I hope you check it out and share it around. All designs are original. Hit me up on Facebook or through the contact page here on the blog and let me know what you think or if you have any questions and/or comments about anything.

For most parents, their kids are heading back to school.
But in about a week or so our little boy, Eli, will be heading off to school to attend his very first day.
We’re both excited and scared, wondering how he will do without us around and surrounded by new people.
We also worry about how he will develop and grow. If he will be able to learn as well as the other children.
So, I am looking into different home-based learning materials to be able to teach him some basic concepts and keep his mind stimulated. Continue reading Off To School!
When I think of the studio that I want the most, I see a lot of space.
I love space.
Big room. High ceilings. Even a loft to look out over my studio from while sipping on my $8 dollar La Moneda Reserva Malbec (you should try it)… Continue reading Artist Area: My Dream Studio

As an artist, I sit on my butt a lot and I usually don’t like moving from my chair, especially when I have ideas flowing.
But I have constant problems with lower back pain, and I know without a doubt that it’s caused from sitting on my butt all day long.
So, my wife and I have been looking for an easy diet and exercise program or book that would help get our lives on track to a healthier life, and there’s one book that helped tremendously. Continue reading Focusing on A Healthy Life
