New Small Originals

The three newest originals, all collected...

A long time ago I had time to work on my larger works and my smaller works too. Smaller works are great because they don't take days or weeks to complete and most people have a small space somewhere that they need a little art for.

My goal is still painting the bigger pieces and getting some art shows going again... While providing small pieces that are affordable still for my collectors and friends.

The icy shut down gave me some time so I sat down to get some painting done. I was liking the direction and feeling inspired, it felt good to do these intuitive pieces again. It feels a lot like PLAY and also like solving a puzzle.

I posted a teaser shot and the messages came rolling in. People wanted them already. Before I could even put them up for sale. I was happy my collector friends were getting some new fresh work for 2023 and also that I was making my rent money happen since the ice killed my work that week.

My people were letting me know they supported me, wanted my work and valued what I did. That's a great feeling!

So this coming week I'll be doing an email update for my friends and collectors so they will know before anyone else when the new pieces will be available. To get on my mailing list, just send over your email to info@tigerbeearts.com

I'll never spam you, promise! This is my way of thanking my best supporters and letting people know directly the info they seek. A more personal way than social media for us to stay in touch. Looking forward to painting for you all this year!

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...
