Hit Random and Win Win Situations!

What do Bjork and I have in common besides being tiny? (she's 5' 4")

We're both all magazine worthy thats what! I'm sure anyone that reads this blog is on my facebook page so I won't get all Miss USA on ya.
But the big news yesterday was that I AM IN! In the Origin Magazines September issue that is...and not ME but my ART which is super exciting to an artist...to have your work seen outside of your city? It's a great feeling! Origin Magazine is a national Art+Conscious Lifestyle magazine that is sold at Whole Foods all over the nation. 
The World of Traceable Ghosts
This is the piece that won us into the magazine! I'm super psyched to see it PRINTED in beautiful color! The official announcement goes out today but I was notified yesterday and wanted to share the good news. I could not have done it without EVERY single one of you that voted, shared,campaigned and supported me. I felt like I was annoying every one and I probably was (sorry!) but I had to do everything in my power to try and try hard. As an artist with NO GALLERY REPRESENTATION it is really hard to open doors and sometimes you just have to knock, knock, knock, peek in windows and do some kicking. No one else is going to do that for me. Unfortunately artists have to be their own "salespeople" sometimes and it's not always the way we prefer to be....but necessary to survival.
But I digress, winning is more fun with others....
After the contest was pretty much over I declared a little contest of my own to thank the people who voted for me. Every single one of you is AWESOME! I declared a random number drawing of two people (Ive made it 3 cause I like that number) from the votes. The winners will be getting a SIGNED PRINT of this painting. I'm getting it professionally shot next week and can print soon after. The winners will receive the prints by July 31st. And without further ado....the winners....
(random number generator from random.org  by clicking the LIKES on my piece I was seeing a list of everyone who clicked by patiently counting from top to bottom that was everyones assigned number spot)
NUMBER 41..........Keith Renard
NUMBER 231..........Walt Brown
NUMBER 7..........April Dixon Tardy
I wish I could give signed prints to all 238 of you! I do keep a thoughtful list in my brain and the people who were really gunning, reposting, sharing and rallying will most likely be getting something special as well. I can't thank everyone ENOUGH! I feel so blessed and full of gratitude for my friends, family and support network. YOU WON THIS! I am thankful for YOU!
*special thanks to Jennifer Berger for breaking the news to Oak Cliff that their little native is going National! Check the SCOOP!

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 ...
