Cat scratch fever and why did the animal cross the road?

Spend any inordinate amount of time on facebook and you'll see a lot of this....only it's in printed format on a computer screen. I wonder if this would be so prevalent in person with face to face confrontations?

I had this picture up as my profile picture for awhile because I really identify with that little guy who doesn't want to hang in that herd back there and is going to cross the street and do his own thing. Maybe hitchhike or go eat daisies in someones garden. Either way he is not down with a big group, clique, herd... and has his own thoughts about what suits him. I have never had good experiences with large groups that all think the same thing and think you should too. 
And when I log onto facebook first thing in the morning with my cup of coffee in hand I liken it to opening my front door to see how the day is, whats the weather, how are my friends? If I get run over immediately by a big ol' POLITICAL turd post (umm, repeatedly) I block you from my newsfeed. How about a good morning? You repeat political posters DO KNOW your "hobby" is posting on facebook to people who already subscribe to your idealogy or don't, right?  And the ones who don't... AREN'T going to be swayed. So the point is? Get a journal. Get a garden. Have something to show at the end of the day for your labors...a new tomato plant or a lasagna you baked. You probably like the fun of fighting so maybe a ROCK EM SOCK EM ROBOT set would be something to put on your list to Santa (PLEASE!!!).
 Just a thought!
On the flipside of that I can just not log in first thing in the A.M to become nauseated  before I've even had my Wheaties.

    I had an epiphany last night: Facebook is like dealing with EVERYONE you know....EVERY SINGLE DAY! While that's desirable with some people...others, not so much. :)

    I've de-herded myself a lot lately. In some respects....it feels good.

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 ...

Year of the Dragon

  First off, Happy New Year to my blog readers! Not sure if I actually have blog readers but if I do- I wish you well! We are coming up on the Chinese Lunar New Year and it's Year of the Dragon! I jumped into the year at a crazy pace and really need to pace myself for ALL THE THINGS I'm trying to accomplish. First off it was very important to me to launch a couple things and explore some other platforms. Those being: Tiktok, Patreon and YouTube I'll go on to say that I actually did not want to do any of these. I repeat DID NOT WANT TO DO THESE.  *Didn't think I was worthy for people to pay me on Patreon and also thought creating perks for people monthly was a lot of work. So far ...IT IS A LOT OF WORK....but I am new and growing from the ground up and that's how it is. Growing pains! I'm working to learn and streamline this so it goes hand in hand with... *YouTube channel! Who actually does not enjoy seeing my weird face and voice in a video? Hi. ME. I really di...

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...
