Video killed the radio star

I had the best intentions to paint yesterday but got sidetracked

I decided to try out my GoPro my sister gave me since I've been itching to learn video...so I took it out when I went mushroom hunting and shot a couple things. Easy enough. By the way yesterday was primo for shroom finds...look at these babies

That first one that looks like a crazy star shape....had never seen those before and I was so excited! I hadn't been having much luck and I spied a stump and almost didn't check it out...but glad I did coz there they were. Stumps are great places to find mushrooms.

That little round one that looks like a rock is possibly an edible Puffball. I would have to cut him open to inspect though.

But mushrooms aren't what sidetracked me....it was the VIDEO. When I got back into the studio I decided to get the video off the camera....this took some learning even on how to get the card outta the camera. Im a nube. And Im notoriously technology-dumb. And I never seem to have the proper equipment for things to be easy peasy. Case in point I cant download imovie to edit my video because my computer is outdated. So I then looked up and tried various things to try to edit my video. Im currently messing around with Youtube video editor. Wish me luck! 😝

I should soon have some very basic and boring videos of stupid shit to show you but dammit- I'M LEARNING NEW THINGS and that's important to me. So lost a day of arting but had to be done, gotta figure out video.

Tonight Im going to see MC5-oh. Two concerts in one week...who the hell am I? I better take some vitamins! 😂

Ok today I paint for real for real...enjoy the weekend everyone...maybe next week VIDEO will be posted!

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...
