The Path of.....

"The Path of Patience" acrylic/krylon on 24" x 24" gallery wrapped canvas

Well I did it! I finished the piece just in time to deliver it for it's big debut on Saturday! You see... I had the problem of having all my work locked into different venues when I was asked to show at Gallery at Midtown. Not one to let opportunity slip through my fingers AND always up for a challenge I rolled up my sleeves, accepted the mission and worked my tail off. I'm seeing a pattern here....it all involves working my tail off.
Here is a detail shot of some of the grasshoppers which I used as a symbol of patience in this piece.
A lot of this series has come to me in dreams, such as the fruit and in the previous work...the white glowing snails. I've been studying the symbolism of these things and it's been pretty interesting. A friend suggested I make prints of this whole series and I like the idea. It will be a slow process as I'm broke but little by little the prints will get made. Everything has to be professionally shot and then printed. Aye dinero.....how I hate thee and your obstacles.
Now this piece is done I will immediately start the next one while the momentum is hot and because I obviously need to just keep working my tail off until this body of work is complete. A gallery wants to see my work and that means I need work to show them so busy, busy, hustle, bustle and buzz buzz for me. Oh and in case you don't keep up with me on facebook, here is all what happened yesterday:

If you click that link you'll see my Doodle Bugs were featured for the 3 x 3 writeup at the Observer blog. You might even notice they were credited to someone named Patricia Rodgers. That made me laugh. And then hot on the heels of that came this:

So two Doodle Bug sightings in one day! Famous little bugs! I still have no idea whether or not they sold or are still available.
Then this happened:
I was collected by Godzilla, a BIG collector. I'm big in Japan. I'm kind of a big deal.
(Thanks to Mark Aaron Sharon for the wonderful laughs yesterday)

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...

It's the little things...

I will eventually get back to posting about art 😂 but I lost my first pound with just 3 days of dedicating myself to Metabolic Renewal...and this is me playing fast and loose because A. I did not buy their shakes I'm doing my own. So I don't really know their caloric/nutrition value vs mine. B. Getting 10,000 steps a day on my pedometer.... doesn't happen. That's almost two hours of walking a day. I get 8,000 or 9,000 before the Texas heat or work calls it off. C. Haven't followed any of the meal recipes. I've been winging it with good sense. I will get closer to their instructions in time ( like maybe next week) since I paid for it. My body is SORE AF. It's totally getting put through the paces and I'm lucky there are modifications for pudgy newbies like me. But 1st lb down is a good feeling because seeing the scale move down is what I'm after. I'm pretty proud of myself for yesterday in general..did my workout, a walking session THEN WENT ...

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...
