Friday is relevant to my interests

"Mad for Merlot" acrylic/krylon on vinyl record $65 for VINO and VINYL at Wine Therapist 9/28

Happy Friday everyone! I'm in the thick of painting records so I'm going to make this short....oh yeah I have a graphic design deadline today too. YIKES! Monday is the deadline to turn in all my artwork for Wine Therapist. YIKES! Tuesday I have a job interview....wait hold the presses, that's right I said job interview. What's funny is how when I post I'm interviewing for a job everyone cheers and high fives and I appreciate that, I really do. But don't you know I'm doing the best job in the world right now painting my heart out and offering my skills up for everyones use? Unfortunately the world doesn't value that as highly as it should. It's not like it was back in Michelangelos day... where if you had artistic skills you were highly sought after and regarded. Artists really are thought of as slackers these days. People WANT you to be working somewhere. Kind of amazing but I digress...so yes, an interview that I only applied for because it was relevant to my interests

I'm sure my friends are just high fiving the prospect of me having more money, right? RIGHT!

I'll post more about the job if I get it, I totally have the mindset that if it's meant to be so be it and if not so be it as well. I am 2 years in to working for myself, just me and my little paintbrushes doing our thing. However I'm also just about out of cash. The job would be part time which is necessary for me to continue working on my art AND it is in the art field which is awesome. So we'll see what happens! In the meantime, work, work, work on paintings and going where your heart takes you.

HAPPY FRIDAY!

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...
