Meeting with a Gallery

"The Path of Intuition" acrylic/krylon on canvas 24" x 24" collection of Randy Parker

Just got the High Res in of the lucky painting "The Path of Intuition". I say it's lucky because good things have come about since this painting was born. One- I made a new friend! And the new friend collected this painting and another work (he has amazing taste apparently) and he was so kind hearted he let me borrow it back to enter into a competition that won me a much needed $500! So let's hear it for the lucky bat AND Mr. Randy Parker my kind hearted amigo! While I still have it this piece is going to a meeting with me today. I've been waiting for this meeting for awhile and am curious and excited to see how it will go. It's a meeting with an interested gallery- name undisclosed for now. I have a couple more galleries to look into before I commit to anything but I am on the hunt for the right fit and finally think my work is up to snuff and getting better every day. I'll post about the meeting after things happen. I'm hoping 2013 finds me tied up with the best people looking to help me get my work out there and succeed. For now the hard work is all on me, it's all me baby. 
Directly from the meeting my work has been requested to show at the Kessler Theater! It's right around the block from me so I'm thrilled at the easy trip. Plus Oak Cliff gets to check out one of it's own, born and bred. The totem will also be on view at the Kessler so if you haven't gotten a chance to see it yet-that's where it will be. I'll post about the show when it's hung, maybe there will be a little art party for it?
But I got sidetracked...the high res photo means...PRINT TIME! So expect nice bright prints of this one next. It's actually what I'm going to use my prize money on- making some prints and I ordered some supplies for my biz. More blank record boxes for shipping! I have to thank Sam Bortnick of Sam Bortnick Photography for shooting all my paintings thus far and making them super lovely for me. Things are well at Tigerbee Arts and I feel wanted, loved and collected. Who can complain?
Not me.
Not me.

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...
