A Day In The Life


(commissioned pieces <3 just finished!)
Just finished up some commissions and am about to start on another. Just in case you were wondering ...my day starts pretty early. Before 7am even....sometimes before 6am. Checking emails, responding, doing any promo stuff that needs doing, blogging to keep you guys interested in my art goings on, etc. Then it's shower, breakfast and hitting the ground running...usually with a paintbrush or spray can. Today the sink is full of dishes, the floors are a mess and there's nothing to eat so I'm having to land on planet Earth and clean up the home base before starting work on commissions and shipping some records out. The crock pot is going to be my BFF and we're going to make a roast while I work.
Lots on the radar but it's all fun, DJing tomorrow night at Gallery at Midtown, Art Con on Saturday, 3 different venues wanting my stuff and a gallery meeting next week. BUSY. But like I said, fun.
The studio is all organized and I'm ready to jump into the holiday season. I'm going to try my hand at a vinyl toy show- never worked on the little things so it should be a fun challenge. Also my friends Lydia and Sara have opened a new salon in Oak Cliff called Tyler Street Salon and are hosting a grand opening on Nov 16th featuring DJ Josh Hammertimez, some light bites and drinks and... ART! I'll be showing some vinyl alongside artist Diablo Texas...who by the way has some really cool new shirts fresh off the screen! Check it! Almost every artist I know right now is super busy with projects, it's an exciting part of the year where there is lots to do and see. Ok, this roast isn't going to cook itself and these records aren't going to drive themselves to the post office either. Here I go leaping into the freshly raked leaves!
SWOOSH!

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...

Addicted

  Well it's official. I am addicted. Luckily to nothing horrible. It was bound to happen. I'm addicted to the morning walk...the endorphins...the serotonin...the "me" time....the solitude....the music pumping in my ears...the nature I see and feeling like I control my day.  I'm usually up before the sun and getting as much mileage as my body allows. Sometimes it's more than others but it's always good. I'm going to add in more sprints here and there as "burst" exercises are better for me than long running sessions.  Yes, even on the weekends I'm out doing it. There is no sleeping in and admittedly I woke up at 2:30am and started having my morning coffee in preparation... Even though I will wait till much later to go out. That's how I know it's an addiction.  Currently on Week 6 and haven't missed a workout or even postponed it. I showed up for myself and made myself a priority every morning. I am proud of that and so much LESS...

Everything in it's place

One of photographer Franks Lopez's vintage cameras Last week was a whirlwind of deadlines, bus trips and fun...all culminating in an art show on Saturday night and two glasses of celebratory wine for all my efforts. I had set a goal for three new vinyl works  to be done in about a week and actually made that happen (actually make that 4!). Normally 3 new vinyl pieces would be nothing for me to do in a week but I had challenged myself to work outside my realm of expertise and delve into the world of LED lights, epoxy, drills, bolts and other fascinating construction. The end result is that I can now push my vinyl creations further - the finished piece was well received! Sales were made and sales are pending and a whole new crowd has been exposed to my work. YAY!  I found myself modeling for local photographer Frank Lopez last week and was thrilled because I like his work very much. He was doing "tintypes" and I got to see the whole process in action as well as ex...
