Wings!

So many little updates and changes to post about!
First I want to say that the Project 7x7 show has been pushed back a little so please pull out the ol' calendar again and mark JUNE 1 as the new event -this will allow the show to be up a little longer for everyone to see the work. I hope you can make it out! All the artists work are so diverse and it will be exciting to see the completed collaborative pieces in person. Project 7x7 are running little spotlight features on each artist and I'm up right now, check out : Project 7x7 FEATURED ARTIST
In other news, I'm going to get a little taste of what it was like to be a kid again. SUMMER VACATION! At least a month of it. I'm finishing up a project at work and after next week I'll have some free time to work on building up my own arsenal of paintings to start aiming at galleries and competitions. A little much needed downtime from the ladder is welcome right now. I also have high hopes of cleaning this damn house and ....hanging  around outside in my backyard...a little pleasure I have missed! Downtime while freelancing is the nature of the business so luckily I have saved up a little cash to weather me through. Its no exotic vacation but it will feel excellent to work on my paintings :)
I will definitely have to do some day hiking and exploring in this gorgeous weather. If you're itching to get your drawing bug scratched I suggest you head over to Dr. Sketchy's tomorrow at La Grange for the May Comic Book Pin Up Session featuring Taffeta Darling. I have provided the tunes that will be wafting through the air. Check out the event here: https://www.facebook.com/events/364352266935767/
 A beautiful weekend ahead and I hear sushi is in my forecast...have a great weekend amigos!

So what's the Scenario?

Street Artist 'My Dog Sighs' Paints Faces on Cans Found Littered on the Street I found this interesting art on Pinterest and thought it would be a good example for a proposed scenario.....indulge me if you will.... The scenario is this....this street artist paints on cans. Pretty cool right? Pretty neat! He's probably not the only one who paints on cans in the world but he most likely is the only one in his little neck of the woods and art circle. Ok, let's pretend I invite this CAN painter to be in this big group show we do annually at my gallery. (This is pretend land, I dont have a gallery but roll with me...)  Ok, he is a hit, everyone thinks his can faces are awesome and he's considered pretty unique for doing this medium in our little art circle. Ok fast forward into the future....it's a year later and it's time for our big annual show...here's the scenario....we don't invite the CAN artist to come show again BUT we do hand out a can ...

The Age of Upgrade

BIG BATCH OF HAND PAINTED WAX FOR SAN FRANCISCO I wanted to do a  blog about the upgrade I'm doing and why. Because I am an artist and not a business person I have been lax on so many things I shouldn't have been and caused myself a lot of headaches. This was a year of growing pains for my business and days before my birthday I decided my new age of 39 would be one of grand changes. For starters...I'm typing this on an old Android phone. It's the only equipment I have. My old Mac finally gave up the ghost and I can no longer do any graphic designing in Photoshop or even save files. This will need to be upgraded, I need a computer. Let's talk about vinyl though...I started doing the vinyl about 6 years ago and they were pretty basic novice attempts at painting on vinyl. After many experiments, failures and tons of practice... I have brought them into their own. They started as $30 discs and climbed as I got better. I marked everything DOWN to $50 this year...

Digital Vacation

  Have you looked around and discovered you have filled your life with bad habits? If you said NO- good for you, you might not be human! 😁  I was experiencing a major BLAH and it was all because of ME. What I spent time on, consumed, did and did not do. I also felt like the willpower I used to have in abundance was gone and I wondered if I would ever get it back.  First and foremost I had to look at my main bad habits. What was the very first thing I did every day. EVERY DAY! I reached for my phone, I social media blitzed my brain over two long cups of coffee every morning. I made sure to look at my MEMORIES like it was my job every day. Ruminating on the past and seeing everyone's angry opinions and celebrity/political posts and regurgitated memes ad nauseum....is actually not a very optimistic and healthy way for me to cruise into the day. Not only is this not good for my spirit it wasted almost two hours of every morning. 💀 That's precious time!  I'm weaning mys...
