Chop Chop Back To Work!

"The World of Traceable Ghosts"

I was a bad little freelancer and took the weekend off....sorta. I did WORK Sunday night doing a DJ gig to make a little scratch so I don't feel TOO guilty. The weekend was fun and full of friends but today it's back on the pony and off to work.

Supposedly my work (featured in photo up there) is on magazine stands now but I have yet to secure a copy of ORIGIN MAGAZINE to check out the little feature. Maybe today if there is time I will go a huntin'! It should be at WHOLE FOODS, BARNES AND NOBLE and perhaps CENTRAL MARKET. I'm super excited to see it!

For my birthday I got a ton of cool little buttons from ARTBOT 138. He pressed up some from my record art and paintings so you can have a little mini detail of my work to wear! How cool is that? I'll have to divvy them up into little sets and create a price. I was pleased to see the new Bowie record piece I painted made into a button!

I also had two wonderful things happen on my birthday...an ETSY sale and an EBAY sale! Woohoo! I was particularly excited by the EBAY sale because I was having NO luck getting my stuff seen on there and had relisted about four times before it was bought. That's just a reminder, keep putting your fishing pole in the water you will catch fish eventually.

The deadline to have all my stuff ready for Wine Therapist is on Sept 17 so I am officially in hustle mode. I have to finish two commissions before I can get back to my work so BUSY BUSY BUSY in the BEEHIVE! Picking up my work from Latino Cultural Center so all my babies will be home again for awhile, AWWWW! I had nothing but good feedback from the show and was honored to be included. OK, time to get stuff packed and shipped and cleaned and painted. Have a great return to work everyone!

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...
