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!

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...
