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...

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...

The calm during the storm

Fist Pumps! Cool rainy weather has hit Dallas. Just in time for the opening of the State Fair of Texas and Oktoberfest...which I just happened to be at yesterday by happenstance. Oktoberfest that is, not the Fair. No, I did not have any bier. I did have a fun time walking around between biergartens and weiner dog races in the rain with good company though! I had to drop off my piece "FLOURISH" to a place in McKinney Tx called ORISONS who will be having a gallery walk in a few weeks. There were a lot of people down there for the festivities so they wanted the work to show off to all the traffic. It's been quite a week(end) and I just wanted to pop off a blog to say thanks to everyone who has been supporting by coming to the shows and making purchases and just high fiving me on facebook, etc. THANKS SO MUCH! I've been working my tail off in the studio- that's the part you don't see...but hopefully you can see it in my work when it's done. All the t...
