Big new LAUNCH!

(Hammering out all the things that haunt me)
Up early having my morning brew and feeling pretty accomplished with this week so far. I managed the Herculean task of updating my WEBSITE...and I don't mean just refreshing some new photos...I mean a complete overhaul and rebranding. It was painful....
Theres a lot I had to cut to make my site CLEAN, CURRENT and easy to navigate.
That means not having everything I've ever painted clogging up the galleries but a nice smattering of the most recent and my best (albeit older) works.

  • Got everything linked in for anyone wanting to purchase art or prints and any of my art merch. 
  • Made an available art page with pricing (crucial) and had to read up on some DO'S and DON'TS for art websites. I think it's pretty clean and I love it A MILLION TIMES BETTER.

You can peep it here and can even give me feedback ☺
MY NEW SHINY WEBSITE CLICK CLICK

At some point Im doing a Wordpress site but for now Im happy with this. So with NEW BLOG LAYOUT and NEW WEBSITE I have successfully knocked out two major pains in the butt that have been haunting me. Next up: NEW BUSINESS CARDS
It never stops!
Speaking of new...I launched Kimonos last week! They are so cool- I'll be adding new designs and styles but this one with the egrets is so classic

You can find this pretty in my SHOPIFY.

In the thick of projects and starting to plan out the upcoming month and make a list of new things to knock out. When you work for yourself planning ahead is crucial- always have the next project lined up, the next thing ready to launch and new stuff in production.
As my wise friend once told me "treat your business like a business"- the simplicity of those words resound with me every day. If you only put about 20 minutes worth of work into your business that's the payout you'll receive. The more you put in- the more you'll receive. I have already seen the fruits of this philosophy at work.
Ok busy day in the studio for me- thanks for checking out my website and please give feedback- it helps me grow!

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...
