Your Name In Lights....er, Vinyl!

The title wall at the Baylor Health Sciences Library for my show "ORGANUM"

Hey neat, I've never had my name in vinyl before! Yesterday was all about hanging the show at Baylor, the walls looked bigger than I remembered and I wondered if I had enough work but it all came together nicely. Some of the students and faculty in the library were already complimenting the work while I was still putting it up. YAY! The room needed some color and I was happy to help with my artwork.
If anyone is interested in purchasing the artwork- here's how it works: You can ask me the night of the show and we'll arrange payment or you can ask the front desk for a price on the piece you like. There isn't any prices on display but I guarantee everything is very affordable. Buying on the spot secures the piece for you but the piece must hang for the duration of the show until August 31st. This is a great time to collect because the pieces don't have the additional percentage tacked on that galleries charge. I even especially made some small pieces for those wanting to collect a piece of my work. 
Pretty excited that the show is up and I'm looking around my studio and seeing EXACTLY what I have for the WAAS Gallery show and what all needs to be done still. I had some pretty exciting news come down the pipe this week- I was chosen as one of 20 artists who will be creating a custom canvas cooler for Red Bull. The event is a competition where 2 people will be chosen to go to Art Basel Miami to sell and exhibit. I can't tell you how very prestigious winning this event would be- a real career changer- as Art Basel Miami is just about the hottest art fair in the industry and making connections and exposure would surely come from this. EXCITING and I'm so honored I at least get a crack at it. Besides that I'm steady on my own exciting path of turning some of my paintings into textiles. Too many people to count have told me my stuff would look great on this or that and now I'm making it a reality. Super excited to see my art in new incarnations!
WAAS Gallery is my big priority right now and a little secret project has me collaborating with a very impressive artist making waves right now...but that's gotta stay hush hush until our paint powers come together. SHHHHHH!
All my new works have NOT been posted to facebook so they should be all fresh and new for WAAS. I need to totally clean my studio today, the cats have been at it again. I'm also taking the door handles off my IKEA wardrobe so I can have a makeshift "wall" to hang a big piece of unstretched canvas for a large piece I'm wanting to do. You use what ya got and wall space I don't have right now. On that note- lots to do so hopefully catch you tomorrow night at the art opening:

*** The Library asks guests to enter through the 3500 Gaston entrance to the hospital, you'll see an information desk on your right and if you continue right through the corridor you'll see a sign directing you to the library. : )

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 ...

Always Be Prepared

Tree Bark found in my front yard after the rains My handy dandy cupcake calendar says there are about 3 more weeks left in January. That means 3 more weeks to make a stack of GLAM records appear for the Texas Theater show and finish up some commissions. There's also a little word floating around that I might get called on to work on a 4 week mural project that will involve working at night. That could get crazy but I can hang. The important thing is to be prepared by knocking out all my work as it comes in. As soon as Januarys batch of orders are done I will have to do some time management to make sure I'm on track for my art show this July. It sounds like a long way off but it's really NOT when you're pulling together a whole new body of work....and planning an installation idea. Yes. I am stepping into the world of installation and I've got some cool ideas I need to experiment with. I've been collecting interesting pieces of bark (like the one above) ...
