Prince vs Prints

The Prints are here! The Prints are here!

Both make me feel like dancing. Tonight we're gonna party like it's 19  ninety nine!

I was super psyched to get my prints in yesterday and headed right away to pick up a few frames. I was thinking small and that people would probably want the prints as cheap as possible and NOT want frames but the framed ones sold like hot cakes within 2 hours of posting so I had to go hunt down more frames. That was a task and it's still a learning process for me -pricing and finding things affordably so I can offer them affordably and still make my money back I put in plus a tiny profit.
At any rate the framed pieces (I have a few more left now) are priced at $32 (does not include shipping) and the unframed prints are $22. These are limited edition, numbered and signed, printed in full color on glossy card stock. If you message me I'll send you paypal info, etc. Quite a few of these have sold already and I haven't even put them on my site yet! GIGGITY!
I also sold a set of 10 buttons. have I showed you buttons yet? Let's look at buttons...
My friend ARTBOT 138 made these for me for kicks and also as part of a little barter. I bartered a BATTLE BONES I found by the side of the road to him in exchange for these little promos. The idea was to give one out with a record purchase but as soon as I posted them on facebook the LIKE-O-METER went up and I was asked how much, etc, etc. ARTBOT 138 noticed this and said I could use his nifty button maker to make myself a batch so I can offer them up for sale. 50 cents is the bank breaking price on one. The designs are from my records and paintings so it's like you can wear a little piece of my art or give them to a friend or throw them at people or whatever you wanna do with them. More will be made SOON! But in the meantime...I have some framing and signing to do and...Piyo. And thinking of my next blog about ART PLUNGING which as you can see by this blog sometimes leads you into the wonderful world of button making and listening to Prince. A nice endeavor if I do say so myself! Big thanks to everyone who has purchased prints, buttons, records, paintings, etc...you guys rock and are awesome supporters! Love, love, love to you!

Jim Rockford was keeping me broke

Ah Rockford files, a comfortable and silly way to unwind after work. Yes, I am completely aware that I've turned into my Dad and watching Dad shows totally cements that theory. I had to start looking at the handsome James Garner in a new light though... He was a rich and famous star in his time and every evening spent curled up watching Rockford Files was an evening a painting wasn't getting worked on. No painting, no art show material. No painting, no galleries. No painting, no money. Would James Garner be watching TV every evening in a tired drowsy ball and not getting stuff done? Probably not.  So I pulled myself away from TV land in the evenings and devoted at least a little time in the mornings as well. Even if it's just ten minutes. Even if you are just filling in all the blacks, blues or whatever... It is progress. Something is better than nothing. I'm proud to say this little habit tweak has totally kicked my butt into gear and I'm producing at a rate I'

How I had the best art year

  This was the year I got rejection letters from every open call I applied to. Granted, it wasn't very many I applied to because I am very picky about what I sign up for AND I am also very jaded about these things of late.  However, this was my best art year to date and I kinda love that it was all rejection notices this year and I STILL HAD THE BEST ART YEAR EVER. Takeaway: Today's open calls are very "agenda based" and the jurors they choose to judge have their agendas. Some want more millennials and younger artists and shun the older artists, some want you to tackle race, gender identity, politics, feminist, pro this or that.... And my art does not. I'm going to stick by  my "Nature is more important than most bullshit" stance till I die because the very atom of life and Nature is more important in my eyes than most of the stuff humans do to feel more important than another group.  But I digress! I did not get into the velvet rope clubs and it was gre

The Backstory- cliff notes edition

  Skip navigation  little backstory I was totally working for myself as an artist and you know what? It was HARD! Harder than hard and harder than any job ever. But it was the most rewarding experience and I learned so much about so many things and I want to share that knowledge with you guys... My VIP art club. I didn't get a fair shake from the very beginning of my art career. I suffered a back injury at my "muggle" job which required a lot of physical therapy to get over and which I will have with me forever now. It was actually the impetus for me to quit my job and start being an artist! So I turned my bad luck into fuel for my fire. I saved 5k (painstakingly while enduring all the BS at a terrible job) and then I made the leap. I was so excited and optimistic about working for myself! I had sold little pieces here and there and was sure it was only upwards from there. 2 weeks into my freedom- my Dad died unexpectedly. What came next was indescribable DEPRESSION and a
