New month, new resolve!

New month and the calendar is popping! Some interesting things have come onto my radar- but since things aren't finalized I'm just going to have to be vague for now. I'm starting to get noticed and found... and fully believe that my mantra of "where you put your efforts is where you'll see your gains" is starting to pay off.

(As for that photo up there-Look how amazing these prints came out! Totally love how vibrant and lush this paper is!)

I've gotten derailed from my small originals project because of WORK, COMMISSIONS and LIFE. So when I say- collect these while they are there- I mean it... There's almost no time to squeeze those in.

Just finished this up for a client who commissioned it for a friend's gift. The sweet orange boy is a dearly departed friend who needed to be memorialized with my brush. Since the recipients have my frog print framed and hanging- I thought it a nice touch to paint this in similar style and scheme to match. It's been awhile since I've done a pet portrait- so fun to get to paint fur again.

Dreaming of when I can get back to my stuff but still have work on my plate to finish. But here are some dates if you wanna see me out and about in the not too distant...

March 26- The Dubliner (I'll be djing alongside Ron Riot for a fun afternoon of punk, reggae, mod, britpop and more! 3-7pm)

April 8- Orr Reed more details TBA (I will be there hawking wood goods, art, prints, etc- super fun market you should not miss!)

Other dates posted soon, we are entering market season and art fair season and BUSY is the word!

See you here or there and will update about my exciting news as it comes through the pipe! 🌞

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...

It's the little things...

I will eventually get back to posting about art 😂 but I lost my first pound with just 3 days of dedicating myself to Metabolic Renewal...and this is me playing fast and loose because A. I did not buy their shakes I'm doing my own. So I don't really know their caloric/nutrition value vs mine. B. Getting 10,000 steps a day on my pedometer.... doesn't happen. That's almost two hours of walking a day. I get 8,000 or 9,000 before the Texas heat or work calls it off. C. Haven't followed any of the meal recipes. I've been winging it with good sense. I will get closer to their instructions in time ( like maybe next week) since I paid for it. My body is SORE AF. It's totally getting put through the paces and I'm lucky there are modifications for pudgy newbies like me. But 1st lb down is a good feeling because seeing the scale move down is what I'm after. I'm pretty proud of myself for yesterday in general..did my workout, a walking session THEN WENT ...

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...
