Weekend Warrior

A ZOOMED IN CLOSEUP of a new painted record...SHHHH!

A friend of mine has been giving me hell about showing all my pieces online before the show so the rest will be zipped up tight and you'll have to come to the show to see them.  I think these would make fun prints so I'm going to try and shoot them as best as I can and see if I can have some made at some point. It would be really cool to turn them into little coasters or faux wine labels.
Oh the ideas in my head are endless!
This is Saturday- what some of you call the weekend but what I call...Saturday, another day to paint. I'm going to try to fit some fun into the weekend somewhere though. I need the exercise. I've been in my studio just about non stop- although I did hit up the Vinyl Thoughts toy show on Thursday evening to see some friends cool creations. Here are a  few shots

The Etch a Sketch Dr. Doom and Viewfinder Cyclops were made by Artbot 138, I think you've heard me give him props here before. Also my friend Ghetto Axe had some pieces in the show but my phone was running out of juice and I didn't get a shot. Check out his fb page!
Yesterday I got my acceptance letter into the 3 x 3 show! I'm psyched to see all the tiny creations and show my little doodle bugs. I hope you can make it out to the show if you're in the area
I know you can't read that tiny print but it pretty much says this is a super badass little show of little works and you should come see it. HA! Here's the facebook event invite!
Ok seriously, so much to do and it all involves paint, paintbrushes, water, flicking water off brushes, sitting hunched over in spine tingling positions for long hours with my tongue sticking out and other such fun so away I go....have a great "weekend"!

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
