March!

I am on the formal invite! Jumping up and down!

If you read my last sad post you might be thinking at this point I'm bipolar or something. Sad. Jumping up and Down. HA HA! Yeah, maybe....
It's a new month and I'm watching the calendar days shrink down and my future art shows getting closer. I now have a full 4 months until my show at WAAS and about 3 until Baylor. You might think that's PLENTY OF TIME for an artist to make paintings but I'd have to kick you in the shins because that's not true.
In order to pay rent and bills you have to sell works or go to work. This will take time away from you getting work done for your shows. So in a nutshell it's hustle time, time to dance around the bullets being shot at my feet and get that paintbrush moving a little faster. There's a prospective mural project I've been invited to work on which is $$ I NEED to keep my lights on and also a freelance graphic design gig is surfacing I should take as well. Hmmmm....I'm just gonna have to learn how to work on 4 hours of sleep and put myself into overdrive for awhile. But I'll chew on that when it comes. For now- wine and party time!
You're invited to LuminArte Gallery next Saturday March 9  from 7-9pm! I'll have new works on exhibit and am excited to be part of this international lineup! Wine and sangria tasting and also live music. These little outings will be the rare glimpses of your artist hermit friend most likely so come say hi!

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...

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...

The calm during the storm

Fist Pumps! Cool rainy weather has hit Dallas. Just in time for the opening of the State Fair of Texas and Oktoberfest...which I just happened to be at yesterday by happenstance. Oktoberfest that is, not the Fair. No, I did not have any bier. I did have a fun time walking around between biergartens and weiner dog races in the rain with good company though! I had to drop off my piece "FLOURISH" to a place in McKinney Tx called ORISONS who will be having a gallery walk in a few weeks. There were a lot of people down there for the festivities so they wanted the work to show off to all the traffic. It's been quite a week(end) and I just wanted to pop off a blog to say thanks to everyone who has been supporting by coming to the shows and making purchases and just high fiving me on facebook, etc. THANKS SO MUCH! I've been working my tail off in the studio- that's the part you don't see...but hopefully you can see it in my work when it's done. All the t...
