The Path of Attraction... and things becoming REALZ

"The Path of Attraction" acrylic/krylon on canvas 24" x 24"

My newest piece was finally revealed last night at Kettle Art Gallery in Deep Ellum. This along with my two NATURE GRAFF pieces and some small 12" x 12"s and that should give people a taste of what I'm up to right now. The show was great and I got to show with a few of my peeps like Brian Hamm and Micheal Broussard. Both talented local artists you should check their work out. The show will be up this month so trek down and see it!

Today I get my works back from Kessler and try to figure out where to put the musical totem again. I spent the past 3 days revamping my studio. SERIOUSLY. 3 DAYS!!! It's not a very big room but man oh man was it a MESS! I couldn't even work on anything until I had it sorted out because my brain wouldn't wrap itself around anything in that clutter. So I'm pleased to say ITS DONE! My studio is fresh and organized!

Don't tell my cats I added a PLANT when they weren't looking! Tiny painting by BlueSkySunburn

Books + Spray Paint+ CDs +Bear on Wood by Nix Johnson

Loved this New Year card my sis sent me, Munny Box+ shipping supplies+ fancy pussycats+mushroom lights

where every day starts! my band got to open for Fugazi back in the day so that print is one of my prized posessions, reminder I'm a bass player, I'm a bass player......

OMG what is that? That weird organizational tool called a Calendar (thanks sis!) is going to be implemented this year! Hell yeah it's all fancy CUPCAKES! Balance that sweet fat stuff with my running number to remind me to get my butt out there and RUN! Other artists in my studio get some love: Robert Hold Photography, ARTBOT138 and Diablo Texas.

Organizized! Canvases stacked, glues and adhesives put in one spot and cd crates got turned into stacking mini shelves to hold all my little tools of the trade.

A discontinued heater serves a new purpose, my plant and brush holder, unicorn harborer and displayer of my Dads quote...."ENJOY THE LIFE"

Thanks for taking a little trip through my studio!

So now if you have a calendar pull out your red pen because I finally have a date on my big summer show!!! JULY 11-AUG 9, 2013 the details need to be fleshed out but expect all new work from me at a wonderful gallery here in Dallas called WAAS GALLERY

I have about 6 months to make a lot of awesome and I'm going to be super busy getting this all together. How exciting! Theres other amazing stuff happening as well but I'll wait till I see green lights before I start blabbing but it involves my work flying out of Big D and to another major city but hush hush keep it down now and all that jazz.

Have a great Friday!

The New Way

Had a wonderful time at the Artists Showcase and Home Tour on Thursday. It was a great reminder of the new "Im worth it" path I've taken. I really feel like the artists were well taken care of and promoted and enjoyed the event very much. Here was my little curated space: All the artists got their own little spaces to create and show in this AMAZING house. I had lots of great windows and light in my space. Even though my endometriosis pains were popping in intermittently- I stood and smiled and chatted with visitors and fellow artists. These three were my largest pieces there and looked great on the spacious walls. These look great together- I hope whoever eventually buys them is able to get both of them. Its a fun horizontal/vertical juxtaposition. The food was IMPECCABLE...the cake makers made these elegant cakeballs in various flavors and used each of the artists works to decorate the tops. I have arrived! My art is edible! Ther...

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 ...

One thing leads to another

Sometimes it just takes one little action to get things rolling in the right direction. For me the action was ordering a giant roll of bubble wrap I didn't even have space for and when it arrived I had to figure out where it would live because my cats were already trying to hug it with their teeth and sharp little claws. Also, why bubble wrap? What for? I'm a big believer in taking some sort of action, big or small to make yourself move in a certain direction. I also believe in productive manifesting and the bubble wrap symbolized shipping. Shipping art out. Shipping lots of art out. Shipping out so much art I was justified in living with a big roll of bubble wrap for awhile! So step one: order the bubble wrap and step two was the fun task of... Making a place for it to live. So manifesting was already happening and I decided I needed a designated area for shipping supplies and hell.. My printer needed a proper home too. I had a very messy shelf with an old printer on ...
