Closer closer!

It's Friday and I've successfully knocked out all paid commissions except for Big Buddah. Looking forward to spending all weekend and today working on it.
Got a project approved yesterday at long last so a few coins in my "MUST RAISE RENT" fund. Sorely needed! I have quite a ways to go in making the magic happen but Im closer and that's what matters.
I'm also closer to getting back into MY paints which is the most exciting news to me. It's very easy to get lost in the land of EVERYONE ELSE...especially when you have to pay rent and bills and it rests on your shoulders to make it happen. So I can't wait to do some painting for me. CAN'T. WAIT.
Another chilly weekend in Texas and I've been slowly chipping away at the "DOES THIS WORK FOR ME?" project. Knocking out things that don't serve me and organizing and streamlining. Got a new and cheaper energy provider and yesterday got my internet service at a more affordable rate. SAVING MONEY every way I can this year. I've even been experimenting with GREY WATER to flush the toilets sometimes 😝😅 I don't think that will save me much but it makes me feel like an earth loving hippie and reusing my bathwater for an actual purpose instead of just draining it out. Yes, Im a little funny like that.
This is the year no one takes advantage of me anymore. Snip, snip, snip all silliness is getting cut out of my world.
Big paint day in the studio and I'm ready for it! 🌞 I feel like I'm back on the ladder and climbing. Let's go!

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...
