Firecracker Firecracker Boom Boom Boom

firecracker firecracker boom boom boom

First I want to say that for the first time in about a year I slept through the WHOLE night without waking up at 3:30am then 4:30 am and not being to sleep and getting up at 5:30 am. I'm going to thank the tiny melatonin pill I took last night for letting me get some much needed restorative sleep. I feel energized today. Supercharged and Best Quality. Like a flashlight cracker! Which brings me to the second thing I wanted to say...I love firecracker art. I've always been a fan. I had ideas to paint firecracker art on my wooden boxes, wouldn't that be cool? Maybe even the records. But where is the time? I think they would look awesome.Maybe after I plow through all the work I have to do I can play around with that....but I digress....the graphic design I'm working on for the next issue of Mercado Bilingue is going to be firecracker themed in honor of 4th of July. To give it a spin we're looking at MEXICAN FIREWORKS...which brings me to the other thing I wanted to say...I learned two new words yesterday. PETARDOS and COJETES. Yay for me learning some Spanish. By the way those are words for "fireworks". 
Today I'm taking 2 of my paintings I just got back from a gallery to another gallery- Latino Cultural Center. They will be there all summer for you to view but if you'd like to come see them at the opening I would love to see you
I have two pieces accepted into this exhibition. Jurors include Maria Teresa G Pedroche from the Dallas Museum of Art, Peter Doroshenko from the Dallas Contemporary and Dr. Roberto Tejada Endowed Professor of Art History at SMU. Your presence would be a delight!
***Supposedly the votes for the contest will be tallied up at some point today and the winners announced. TO EVERYONE WHO HAS VOTED FOR ME....THANK YOU! You have my sincerest appreciation and I'm touched by your support. Friends, family and strangers were rooting for me and sharing my posts to help me out. It is going to be a little bit of work but...I'm going to do a random number drawing of everyone whose names are listed in the votes and pick two winners. Those winners will receive signed prints of the piece you voted for by July 31. THANK YOU! ♥ You guys are the best! (to track the number of votes on my piece and see if your name is logged in the vote click link and view the likes next to mine)  CLICK THIS
Ok, full day ahead with PETARDOS and COJETES and delivering work to the gallery and making some French mixes for the Serge Gainsbourg  tribute tomorrow. Have a Happy Hump Day -let's get over this hump!

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 New Way

Had a wonderful time at the Artists Showcase and Home Tour on Thursday. It was a great reminder of the new "Im worth it" path I've taken. I really feel like the artists were well taken care of and promoted and enjoyed the event very much. Here was my little curated space: All the artists got their own little spaces to create and show in this AMAZING house. I had lots of great windows and light in my space. Even though my endometriosis pains were popping in intermittently- I stood and smiled and chatted with visitors and fellow artists. These three were my largest pieces there and looked great on the spacious walls.   These look great together- I hope whoever eventually buys them is able to get both of them. Its a fun horizontal/vertical juxtaposition. The food was IMPECCABLE...the cake makers made these elegant cakeballs in various flavors and used each of the artists works to decorate the tops. I have arrived! My art is edible! Ther...
