Want the scoop?

Occasional, fun-filled, informative newsletter from me to you.

Transparently, yours...

A quietly honest blog featuring thoughts, events, poetry and life spins in life of yours truly. If you ever wondered what it was like to be neurodivergent, 44 and just starting out (again) - find out here.

The road? Definitely long.
The people? Amazing.
The love? Deep.
The thrill? Intense.

Make art.
Everything else is just nonsense.

Noise in the channel.
Unnecessary.
Polluting.

Make art so you can breathe.
Not just for you,
For us all.

Booth setup = accomplished.
Today's art fair was a success in my book. New friends, interested faces, sales, spoons and cutlery as a supporting star of my tiny little booth at Britanac.
I will see you there next weekend too so if you are in the mood for some oddities, drop by and look me up.

Shop is now stocked with some colourful rings - I call them Freedom Rings. Made out of polymer clay with my *super* secret method and coated with epoxy. Just in time for spring.

Ducan je sad pun sarenih prstencica - zovem ih Prstenovi Slobode. Napravljeni od polimerne gline mojom *super* tajnom metldom I premazani epoxijem. Taman na vrijeme za proljece.

My long time desire...to run. There is soft freedom in moving fast and light (though to be honest I move slow and heavy - it's only my day 3). Returning to me is the dream where I chase butterflies on a green, floral meadow and I am so light that I'm almost flying.

Smiley rings are now on the website: mayarasic.com
.
They make a great company for: the first date, separation dinner (and all dates in between), weddings, work occasions, first day at work, last day of work (and all days in between), baby showers, all birthday occasions. Basically, do not wear at funerals and you'll be fine.

You’re an average artist - he said. You think too highly of yourself. Words pierced sharply through my heart.
You do understand this sentence will push me into a black hole - I asked. You do realise it will take hours, if not days, to feel good again.
I put the phone down. Sat, rolled a cigarette. Wrote a poem describing the depth of my misery. Then a thought helped me: Who is the authority on what makes good art? Who is in charge of opinions? Do you decide? No.
I went to pee then. An intense feeling rose inside of me: I want to paint. But, I want to explore, I want to do bad art. No rules. Just me, the canvas and the color. Whatever it brings.
This auto portrait is the first painting I am ever putting to sale. Attaching a dollar, euro price tag to it. Claiming bad art as life. Because it makes me feel good. Because it makes me feel free. Expansive. Alive. Hopeful that life makes sense. That the battles we go through in the end reach a point where we put them into one medal that we wear on our chest, claiming: I survived. I thrived. I learned. I’m alive. After that, I entered the process I now call: Bad art. I even made a slogan: Bad art for good people. I thanked, in the end, in my heart, in the deep core, for the words I was given. They made me expand. I would also like to extend gratitude to my Angels who guarded me through feeling the liberation in the critique. Thank you.

You want poetry
But no distress
A depth
Without the mess
A vivid mind
But full of light
A rich inside
Without a fight
It doesn't go
Hand in hand
It doesn't add
That kind of math
That I can grow
Without the doubt
The dark nights
That kill the soul
I've come to learn
They make me glow
I don't shy away
From battles won
Exclusively
With soul and mind
So when I sit
At a lighter throne
Than what so far
You've come to know
Don't say my truth was
Easily shared
In sharing I feel
Another pain
Goodbye good soldier
A battle lost
Yet we have barely
Crossed our swords
I guess it's true
What they say
Only One can
Win this game
No grudge
No judgement
Just a verse
In the end
You lost a girl

Right now I feel the joy of just being alive. All is well when we are well, right?
In a candle lit apartment, at 2 am, over night coffee, I'm pondering all the good things, all the good people, all the ideas, projects, dreams and desires.
In case you haven't seen, here are some of my faves from the shop!
Last pic is me wearing said merch. 😀
