Studio Lock Down!

"Roly, Poly, Rolled"  3" x 3" (3) acrylic, krylon on canvas

I have somehow lost track of time. I have a deadline to have new works completed on the 17th but had some commissions pop up that needed to be done so I could pay rent. I also had an opportunity to try and enter into a show called 3 x 3 and heard about it practically the day before deadline day and whipped up this creation (above) to see if it would be fruitful. Add into the mix a little personal time mourning the loss of my friend and trying to visit with friends to assuage the pain and my time is quickly ticking away to get new work done. Today I finish the last commission and get down to serious business...new works for the show. Nothing will get in my way! All commissions on hold till after the 17th! Please! Being busy in my studio will help immensely with dealing with this recent loss. I also have the opportunity to get my work published into a catalog so I'm going to squeeze that into the week as well- aside from that I'm not going out anywhere, no fun, no outings, no dj gigs, no nothing except STUDIO. PAINTING. STUDIO. PAINTING. 
The September issue of Origin magazine did NOT have my art feature in it and I'm trying to figure out what happened, maybe it got bumped to next month? I'll keep you posted.
Went out and got some more canvas yesterday so I think I'm stocked for the rest of 2012, a few more 24" x 24"s and a giant 30" x 40" and my body of work will be looking pretty healthy.
Ok, time to get crackin' on the busiest week ever. Hope the week brings much productivity and smiles. Please. I need them.

Jim Rockford was keeping me broke

Ah Rockford files, a comfortable and silly way to unwind after work. Yes, I am completely aware that I've turned into my Dad and watching Dad shows totally cements that theory. I had to start looking at the handsome James Garner in a new light though... He was a rich and famous star in his time and every evening spent curled up watching Rockford Files was an evening a painting wasn't getting worked on. No painting, no art show material. No painting, no galleries. No painting, no money. Would James Garner be watching TV every evening in a tired drowsy ball and not getting stuff done? Probably not.  So I pulled myself away from TV land in the evenings and devoted at least a little time in the mornings as well. Even if it's just ten minutes. Even if you are just filling in all the blacks, blues or whatever... It is progress. Something is better than nothing. I'm proud to say this little habit tweak has totally kicked my butt into gear and I'm producing at a rate I'

How I had the best art year

  This was the year I got rejection letters from every open call I applied to. Granted, it wasn't very many I applied to because I am very picky about what I sign up for AND I am also very jaded about these things of late.  However, this was my best art year to date and I kinda love that it was all rejection notices this year and I STILL HAD THE BEST ART YEAR EVER. Takeaway: Today's open calls are very "agenda based" and the jurors they choose to judge have their agendas. Some want more millennials and younger artists and shun the older artists, some want you to tackle race, gender identity, politics, feminist, pro this or that.... And my art does not. I'm going to stick by  my "Nature is more important than most bullshit" stance till I die because the very atom of life and Nature is more important in my eyes than most of the stuff humans do to feel more important than another group.  But I digress! I did not get into the velvet rope clubs and it was gre

The Backstory- cliff notes edition

  Skip navigation  little backstory I was totally working for myself as an artist and you know what? It was HARD! Harder than hard and harder than any job ever. But it was the most rewarding experience and I learned so much about so many things and I want to share that knowledge with you guys... My VIP art club. I didn't get a fair shake from the very beginning of my art career. I suffered a back injury at my "muggle" job which required a lot of physical therapy to get over and which I will have with me forever now. It was actually the impetus for me to quit my job and start being an artist! So I turned my bad luck into fuel for my fire. I saved 5k (painstakingly while enduring all the BS at a terrible job) and then I made the leap. I was so excited and optimistic about working for myself! I had sold little pieces here and there and was sure it was only upwards from there. 2 weeks into my freedom- my Dad died unexpectedly. What came next was indescribable DEPRESSION and a
