Clean Sweep

(Some of the artists from project 7x7 met at Rising Gallery this past Saturday)

There are a couple of things that will make me break out the broom and do some serious cleaning. One- if I have company coming over. Two- if said company is wielding a video camera. Three- if my studio is going to be focused on in said video cameras lens. So all three of those things are coming together this Friday evening. I am doing a tiny short interview for the Project 7 x 7 and it's taking place in my studio/ dining room so...Pledge, broom, dustpan....let's get with it!
I needed this to happen to MAKE me clean my studio. Its been a mess since Ive been working full time and not able to catch all the random things my cats have decided to throw in the floor. I also have enough fur swept up to make two whole new pets!
So thats what Im doing this week besides battling the horrible PAIN that sets upon me every month for a few days. Not to get too personal in an art blog but I have painful cysts on my ovaries and when they decide to get my attention it is all I can do to stop myself from going to the ER (which Ive done on a couple of occasions) because I know that does no good. So its a steady diet of Aleve and lots of water and whining for a few days. It is the worst pain in the world and I really need to go get a proper test done and battle this thing once and for all. But enough about pain and more about painting....hopefully I can update the painting later this evening. If the studio is clean.

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...

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 ...

Top 10 Reasons

  Have you seen Labyrinth? The scene where she finally realizes she had the power all along and that actually Gareth did not ...that's powerful stuff. My favorite part....aside from every scene with David Bowie prancing about in too tight leggings. 😁 My digital vacation got interrupted yesterday. I've still been checking my messages in Messenger because HI IM AN ART BUSINESS AND THAT DONT STOP. I was alerted that the scammer had hit up a mutual friend and because I was trying to be Art Spiderman I went swinging back online to see what was going on. Unfortunately the scammer got someone and I had to make another PSA about it to help my peeps understand what was going on. Barring that though... it's up to YOU to be SMART PROACTIVE RESEARCHING humanoids. I can't save you.  Also my brief pop into fakebook gave me enough fodder to want to keep my vacation going. Here's what I was met with on messenger and on my page upon landing:  1. People pushing politics/celebrities ...
