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 ...

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...
