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.

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...
