Hello Friends.
Summer is in FULL SWING at the Siepert house, but I wanted to check in to say hi and let you know I’m still here - HA! Dana is working full-time at a local salon and I’m working from home managing social media accounts, doing some graphics design, podcasting, etc. I haven’t had much time to write (my days are pretty much non-stop from the moment Jordan’s eyes open at 6:30 😵💫 until bedtime - she’s on Summer Break!), but I have been squeezing in some painting here and there.
Here’s something I recently made. My favorite band is Green Day (they are coming to the South in August, by the way, and YES - Dana and I got tickets … I CANNOT WAIT) and their lead singer/guitarist is Billie Joe Armstrong. Here’s a picture I made of him singing the lyrics to one of my favorite songs, “HOLIDAY”. I want to put something like this on a larger canvas at some point and so I was doing some experimenting with this one.
Also working on a couple of commission paintings that are birthday gifts for some friends AND still drawing everyday as I continue to try and reconnect with my inner child who loved ALL THINGS art. Art used to bring me so much joy as a kid and after finally re-engaging it at 42 years … the joy is coming back.
Have you checked out the Art Studio, by the way? Lots of new stuff popping up there every month and new ideas brewing for the Fall - check it out and stay tuned!
And the podcast is also rolling along. We crossed episode 300 last month and are doing some Pride-themed episodes this month, and then for July and August we’ll move to bi-weekly releases as a little “Summer Break” before going back to weekly episodes in September. I’ve also decided to clear my recording schedule for July and August so I can have a little less on my plate with Jordan being off of school and also give myself some space as I continue to grieve, to reconnect with my inner child, and … to breathe.
Anyways.
I hope y’all are well. Thanks for hanging in there with me. Any plans for this Summer? Share in the comments or reply to this email to let me know.
Much love.

I'm a fan. Love that the little Glenn Seipert is excelling at the artwork.
