You get a bag, and you get a bag, and you also get a bag! A PANdemIC BAG that is!


PANdemIC BAGS / PANIC BAGS by Artist Adra Janean Fenstermaker #AJFEN



[FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE]

Creative Artist Adra Janean Fenstermaker (AJFEN) sends 14 people in the mail original and functional pieces of art during the pandemic to bring not only awareness to May being mental health month, but also to help those who may need it. The  name painted on the front, PANdemIC (or PANIC) BAG, is a reminder that panic happens, here's a bag for you to help cope, just knowing that a bag is there is a great reminder that this panic will pass. For those suffering with anxiety, something as simple as a bag can help those feeling the effects of the 2020 Pandemic. AJFEN says that she is interested in doing another batch of these bags in the future, people interested in sending one to someone else may contact the artist via her official website www.AdraJanean.com. Senders are asked to leave the name and mailing address of who they would like added to the wait list for the next small batch of PANdemIC / PANIC BAGS.

SO! YOU RECEIVED A BAG! 


CONGRATULATIONS! 
You are ONE of FOURTEEN.
NEW TIER ON PATREON!!!

That means you are a PATRON or you commented at @AdraJanean on FACEBOOK to be eligible. Now that you have received one, you can tell me someone's address you want to get too, and I will add them to the wait list for friends and family!

These PANIC BAGS where all hand made, and no, I didn't have ANY PRINTER ink, and since it is a pandemic, I am working on using things that I have around me before buying new (except for those LED hoops I've been waiting for - but that's for "work" so that is okay, lol) which is why I am glad you found your way HERE, because I was kind of scared you would be lost without me and instructions. I did leave a number to call though, lol.

1-800-927-ADRA. 
Leave a message, a rant, a story, a poem, a cry, whatever you need if the bag doesn't help.

DIRECTIONS: Open bag, take Mixed Media Sketch and Instructions, look inside bottom of bag. Read. Insert nose and mouth into bag. squeeze sides of bag with hand(s) near the word BAG at top *see notation SQUEEZE, proceed to breath in, breath out, breath in, breath out, breath in, breath out, breath in, breath out, over and over and over until the world lifts.

Each bag contains - instructions, 100% original mixed media sketch to keep as is or finish coloring (pen, nail polish).

- Hand Made by Adra Janean
- 100% Original and One Of A Kind.











EACH bag contains a SKETCH ready for YOU to color/paint or leave as is - I chose to use nail polish with this series. All mailers where randomly sent, so I am sorry if you don't like yours, there's probably a better one in your future (or trade with someone else, this series is made to be altered and shared) - either way DON'T THROW IT OUT! Re-home, send back, etc. but honest, I would hold onto those because, oh baby, you never know when it might be worth something to someone (make sure to give me 10% of whatever you get for it please, lol). 

NEW TIER ON PATREON!!!







"EACH bag contains an original sketch ready for YOU to color/paint or leave as is...

2020 is going a little differently for me than I had planned...



I am probably not the only person who's first few months into the year didn't go as planned though, so I am not going to stress too much. Deep breath. I am thankful I was able to get in both my Solo Art Show in February as well as the collaborative Art Show before things really started going downhill for our social interactions. That being said! After much reflection, I am keeping with the theme of 2020 I set for myself - which is POSSIBILITIES & ACCOUNTABILITY! 


I am OPEN to POSSIBILITIES.
I have no one else to blame for my lack of successes - I am ACCOUNTABLE for my ACCOMPLISHMENTS and ACHIEVEMENTS as well as my FAILURES.



This year, I am getting more specific in what I want and where I want to go - and what I want to be doing while I am going "there". 






You and I can go TOGETHER! 




This is the year, that I am taking my MUTTPUPPY PRODUCTIONS up a notch - I am going to sit down with each part of my production and really see where it leads. I have been working on a non-profit lately to fill my day, donating my time and skills, and in that, I am realizing that I really miss having a platform to create content on, do standup interviews on camera as well as in print, I like having places to connect people, things to create. 



I do still update the WAKE UP TAHOE Twitter and some of their other accounts of course, that hasn't changed - I take care of lots of other content, building things, etc, as well as places like here at this blog! 

Here are some of the places I will be refocusing my 2020 efforts: 

DIFFERENT ADVENTURES - Idaho + other locations - following COVID restrictions
BODY BY ADRA - Reconnect business to new local
GINGER GIRLS - Flip Series to Indie
MUTTPUPPY'S PUTTING ON MY BIG GIRL PANTIES - 
ADRA JANEAN - re-branding
FEATURE FILM - Script to Distribution
AJFEN - Visual Art and merch line
NON-PROFIT - Media and PR Production, Video Content/Interviews

This will cover creating on many different platforms. I am not going to link everything here, if something perks your interest, please use the search bar on the left, which should like to social sites, articles, videos, etc.

My Life In Roller Skates

My name is Adra Janean Fenstermaker, but to some, I'm just called "Pain" - shortened from my roller derby name, Window Pain #47. 

BECOME A PATRON!




I have skated for film and television, as a bouting skater for the Lake Tahoe Derby Dames, performed at the Wiltern Theater, Hollywood Palladium and LA Pride in Los Angeles California. 


SEX.SOUND.SILENCE as RAINBOW
TAHOE DERBY DAMES as WINDOW PAIN #47
ESTO ES GUERRA as WINDOW PAIN # 47
BLACK TAR ROAD as WINDOW PAIN #47

I've rolled my way through casinos in Vegas, Reno and Tahoe - yes, I have the pics to prove it.


I am a firm believer that roller skates wouldn't be complete without hula hoops...




I cut my editing teeth on roller skate videos I used to post to skate blogs, little edits like these samples below.

 
BECOME A PATRON!



FACT: I've been known to ask "Can I wear my skates" to filmmakers, because I want to fill up my IMDb page with as many WINDOW PAIN #47 credits as humanly possible in my lifetime.
