play time is OVER

A shot of Eduardo Portillos work at Kirk Hopper Fine Arts

Yesterday was nefarious art planning day, got down to the Kirk Hopper Fine Art gallery and got to see the new show that's up and took a look at the future while I was there.
Taking a look at the future involved imagining my work on the walls, trying to measure out how many paintings I would need (that have yet to be created) and knocking some ideas around with my partner in crime, SONER.
Details from some of SONERs pieces

This show is the main thing on my radar and I've got 2 months to make it happen. I've made the mistake of amping up my calendar with lots of little shows and stressing because there's not enough time and I don't rush paintings and put sub par work out into the world. I just can't do it. So I've had to be picky and say NO to some things and this is that reason. As it is I'm racing the clock.
This show is going to be amazing and SATURATED with our signature intense colors. Here's a shot of our first collaboration 
we did last year for WAAS Gallery
Detail of "Intuition and Radar" collection of Mr. Cambranis

I have lots of work to do and it's going to be non stop until the show so if I go into hermit mode you know why.

"Explosive Growth " collection of Mr. Jones

My latest piece has been collected! I'm very excited about this new body of work and am thrilled my collector saw this as an important addition to his collection. More of this level is on the way. Have a great weekend everyone!

Addicted

  Well it's official. I am addicted. Luckily to nothing horrible. It was bound to happen. I'm addicted to the morning walk...the endorphins...the serotonin...the "me" time....the solitude....the music pumping in my ears...the nature I see and feeling like I control my day.  I'm usually up before the sun and getting as much mileage as my body allows. Sometimes it's more than others but it's always good. I'm going to add in more sprints here and there as "burst" exercises are better for me than long running sessions.  Yes, even on the weekends I'm out doing it. There is no sleeping in and admittedly I woke up at 2:30am and started having my morning coffee in preparation... Even though I will wait till much later to go out. That's how I know it's an addiction.  Currently on Week 6 and haven't missed a workout or even postponed it. I showed up for myself and made myself a priority every morning. I am proud of that and so much LESS...

Shoot for the Stars!

Shoot for the Stars! Latest painted record featuring Han Solo AVAILABLE ($50) Theres a beautiful rain falling this Friday morning, it's a quiet steady and soft rain. The complete opposite of how it started....loud thunder cracking, waking me up from sleepyland and making my computers blink. Now it's just a little drip drip and quietude. Rain makes primering a no go since I primer outside. I am looking for the perfect large box to spray in, this will ease a lot of trouble with tree detritus landing on a barely sprayed record and wreaking havoc. My house was busy yesterday with order drop off and order pickup and then a graphic design job I was waiting to hear about popped up so I'm officially BUSY for the next two weeks at  least. Wrapping up record orders and the graphic work and I'm happy to be busy and working from home. This record featured above is up for grabs until someone grabs it. I won't have time for new vinyl for awhile so get it while it's t...

Ride Your Ride Your Ride

my bike Tuco, named after the Ugly One in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Lifes little surprises never cease to amaze me. I'm not exactly sure how to tell this story but I will try. A few weeks ago my Mom says she was digging around in an old dresser and found this little funny package. The package was flat and made from beer boxes, cut and taped together and a little over 12" x 12" big. On it was my Dads handwriting stating what was inside. RECORDS! And not just any records but records I had wondered what had happened to because I knew my Dad really liked them....FATS DOMINO! He had taken care and written the names of the records for safe keeping. Now they are mine to cherish.  It was like a little gift from the other side...which sometimes doesn't feel very far away. In fact most days it feels like my Dad is still right here with me. With Fathers Day happening this weekend he has been on my mind more than usual.  So yesterday I was a little surprised to ge...
