Crunch time or What the Hell.....

Samichlaus and Schmutzli-  Swiss Christmas characters

Because I've been sick since the day after Thanksgiving (still coughing, seriously wtf?) and I'm behind on a few commissions (which I'm rocking out today and tomorrow)....I have neglected all signs of the season. I don't have a tree up. I don't have a wreath up. No sign of Christmas has appeared AT ALL in my house. Because my Doctor has decided this month was the month to drain my wallet... any gifts or such things are not gonna happen. I am barely going to eek out the rent and hopefully bills. I hope to have enough to buy a lone ham to share with my Mom and brothers. It's like that. Ah well, it's nothing new. I'm not into the shopping frenzy this holiday has become anyway. But I would like to send some cards out to my friends and family so I better get crackin'. I kinda want to take this time to CLEAN and PURGE my house of unwanted junk before the new year. I have decided this holiday was just going to be simple. Dinner with the family and if I get a chance to put the tree up then AWESOME. If I don't, who says I have to get it up before Dec 25? 
Maybe I can celebrate it whenever I want?
At any rate it's a busy week for me painting and organizing and trying to make some cash. If you were wanting to grab a piece from me from the dwindling stash I have left, my work is at a few places right now and you'll be helping ME and the venue out.
KETTLE ART GALLERY (2 pieces available I believe, both priced at $90. 50% goes to me, 50% to Kettle)
NEIGHBORHOOD (my larger pieces are here with a 50/50 split)
KESSLER THEATER (Totem is here along with a few pieces )
TYLER STREET SALON (Twiggy records! $60 each all proceeds to ME <3)
Hope everyone is enjoying the simple things in life, like breathing, family, health....remember what it's about and thanks for keeping up with my art rollercoaster!

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...
