This is pretty much a snapshot of my weekend. I've been mad hustling on painting records for the Texas Theater show this upcoming Saturday and needing to leave a day in the week to create my affordable artworks so I can start that ball rolling. In case you missed the memo- these are the last records I'm doing for awhile as I need to focus on my fine art canvas work for my upcoming show at WAAS gallery and some other opportunities that are on the radar so...SOOOOO....if you want one of these I suggest you snatch it up because I won't be painting anymore for a while. Each one will be $60 flat with a small % going to the venue. I'l be DJing that night with my friend DJ Woodtronic and there will be a drag show along with a screening of HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH! Costumes encouraged! :) Fun night yes? YES!
Finishing commissions and then jumping into wonderful, wonderful canvas works and playing with installation ideas. So much awesome going on in my world and so many great people I've got helping me achieve such things. It's a lot of work but it's work I love. I just need to remember to step away from the easel sometime and breathe, see family and friends and...eat.
This morning I had a message in my Inbox from another gallery. Ooh! A hot gallery I had sent my stuff to a while back. Not sure what it means or what will come of it but I'll take it as a good sign I don't suck, I'm right up their alley and that I'm doing exactly what I need to be doing in life- PAINTING! After so many years of never hearing anything back from galleries and suddenly getting positive responses -it makes a girl a little dizzy happy dizzy. Finally I am starting to see all this hard work pay off. Keeping hopes grounded but still smiling anyway.
Have a great start to the week and expect AFFORDABLE ART this THURSDAY via my TIGERBEE ARTS PAGE!

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...

Taming the monster

What started as me deciding to spend 30 minutes picking out clothes to donate from my closet .. Turned into about 2 hours of folding t shirts, jeans and deciding winter was far enough away that all sweaters and coats could be packed away. My closet was a walk-in diaster. My cat had lived in it all winter, knocked stuff down, slept on it, fuzzed up clothes and built forts. No lie.  I had been living in the same two pairs of jeans and 5 shirts off my bedroom floor (closet #2 😂). First things first, all the T shirts from OLD JOBS were the first to get put in donation pile. I don't need memories of "that place" and they were all too small, waaay too large or tan/beige/grey ..all the wrong unhappy colors that just say JOB when you look at them. Bye! So that happened yesterday. Major project that still needs work but for now it is peaceful enough to my brain to leave it alone. I have two large loads of laundry to do because my clothes look like...well like a cat has been sleep...

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...
