Blasting off to Planet ART SNOBBY

                       "Remix Grotto"
2020 is just around the bend and I've slowly been laying some groundwork to elevate my business and the worth of my art. Meaning that my originals will be worth more for my collectors and therefore a better "investment". I'm sure most of my collectors just wanted the art because they loved it- but there have been at least two cases that I know of that my art got "flipped" or resold to other collectors.
At any rate it's time to be a professional now. I've been a professional freelance artist for nine years now and its time to do the adulting thing. Raise prices, invest more in my business and self, hunt viable opportunities and increase my value.
I have teamed up with Artistic Transfer LLC located in the World Trade Center and they will be spearheading the sales of certain "collections" in the giclee and fine art printing realm. Their scans of my work are PHENOMENAL and I'm pleased with my investment.
They also included me in the Jane Seymour exhibit and will be marketing me to their clientele.
So what does this mean in plain English?
They will be providing the highest quality reproductions of my work in print form- canvas, paper, giclees, etc and they will be LIMITED EDITION and come with certificate of authenticity like professional works should.
This also means my originals cannot cost less than my prints so....prices will be set accordingly and proper to their worth which makes all fair and square and lovely for whoever collects it.
I've been discounting myself for way too long and am way beyond selling $40 originals. 😳😣
So even though I jokingly say Im being ART SNOBBY its really just me getting the going rate for my skill and experience. Cost of living has gone up and so must everything else.
So as I don my new fancy eyeballs that make me look like an ADULT, Im also putting on my adulting panties and jumping up into the really real world. 
I'm also going to be launching my YouTube channel this year and getting to know Patreon and finding new supporters and art patrons. The internet is vast and wide and complicated and there is much to learn and do-but looking forward to figuring it out and creating a sustainable art life for myself. 
I hope everyone gets their due UPGRADES in the coming year.
WE ARE WORTH IT.

Words!

  Hello! I haven't blogged since last year. Even writing the word "blog" felt foreign and weird! I have actually been writing stuff on my Patreon account so if you've missed the updates you can sign up for free over there. There is also an option to pay a few dollars a month to help support me as an artist and get "extra" content- in case you are of that mindset and either way- thank you for caring about the art adventures.  I have missed blogging actually. I guess I like to make words, string them together like a pretty necklace and let them live their own expressive life wrapped around me.  Times are different. Times are weird! But I guess you know that. And also times are the same and as old as time. Is it really more terrible than any other time or are we humans just more "connected" to the propaganda and daily bad trip in a way that is insane and unhealthy? Either way I do my best to keep my sanity and I don't believe about 98% of what I s...

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...

The calm during the storm

Fist Pumps! Cool rainy weather has hit Dallas. Just in time for the opening of the State Fair of Texas and Oktoberfest...which I just happened to be at yesterday by happenstance. Oktoberfest that is, not the Fair. No, I did not have any bier. I did have a fun time walking around between biergartens and weiner dog races in the rain with good company though! I had to drop off my piece "FLOURISH" to a place in McKinney Tx called ORISONS who will be having a gallery walk in a few weeks. There were a lot of people down there for the festivities so they wanted the work to show off to all the traffic. It's been quite a week(end) and I just wanted to pop off a blog to say thanks to everyone who has been supporting by coming to the shows and making purchases and just high fiving me on facebook, etc. THANKS SO MUCH! I've been working my tail off in the studio- that's the part you don't see...but hopefully you can see it in my work when it's done. All the t...
