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.

Words!

  Hello! I haven't blogged since last year. Even writing the word "blog" felt foreign and weird! I have actually been writing stuff on my Patreon account so if you've missed the updates you can sign up for free over there. There is also an option to pay a few dollars a month to help support me as an artist and get "extra" content- in case you are of that mindset and either way- thank you for caring about the art adventures.  I have missed blogging actually. I guess I like to make words, string them together like a pretty necklace and let them live their own expressive life wrapped around me.  Times are different. Times are weird! But I guess you know that. And also times are the same and as old as time. Is it really more terrible than any other time or are we humans just more "connected" to the propaganda and daily bad trip in a way that is insane and unhealthy? Either way I do my best to keep my sanity and I don't believe about 98% of what I s...

Taming the monster

What started as me deciding to spend 30 minutes picking out clothes to donate from my closet .. Turned into about 2 hours of folding t shirts, jeans and deciding winter was far enough away that all sweaters and coats could be packed away. My closet was a walk-in diaster. My cat had lived in it all winter, knocked stuff down, slept on it, fuzzed up clothes and built forts. No lie.  I had been living in the same two pairs of jeans and 5 shirts off my bedroom floor (closet #2 😂). First things first, all the T shirts from OLD JOBS were the first to get put in donation pile. I don't need memories of "that place" and they were all too small, waaay too large or tan/beige/grey ..all the wrong unhappy colors that just say JOB when you look at them. Bye! So that happened yesterday. Major project that still needs work but for now it is peaceful enough to my brain to leave it alone. I have two large loads of laundry to do because my clothes look like...well like a cat has been sleep...

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...
