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!

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...
