Scandalous! Hot dates with Wine!

I'm doing some WINE themed records specifically for the WINE THERAPIST show. And a date just popped up for the opening so get out your little red pens and mark this on your calendar....SEPT 28!
More details pending as I get them but that's where I am right now. I'd like to say I'm shooting for a certain number of records to have completed for this but I decided my life was stressful enough with out that so I'm just painting as much as I possibly can every day and wherever I land on the number board is where I land. These records are fun little throwbacks to the trashy vintage pulp novels of the 60's and 70's and will feature different wines. I'll also have a couple of the rocker records for the show and some of my canvas works so you'll get to see the many facets of Patricia Rodriguez.

I took this photo before Summer kicked in. I was working at a mural studio and this was on my way to 7-11 around the corner. It reminds me of going to get Push-Up pops for me and my friends at the studio. It reminds me of working somewhere else and it reminds me that the sun is always shining up there if you stop and look...you might even see some flowers and find beauty in the day.

The Blondie record I did needed a dark brooding bad ass brunette counterpart so Joan Jett had to be created. She will be one of the records works up for viewing and grabs at the Wine Therapist show. The day beckons with more work to be done, I'm making a trip out to McKinney TX today to take my Doodle Bug painting to be shot for a catalog and luckily, luckily some sweet soul bought me some coffee since I had totally forgotten with all the stress and work I've been under.

Thank you! Another cup of joe and some breakfast and a shower and it's GO TIME!

Have a wonderful, productive day. Remember the sun is shining up there, somewhere, can you find it? Can you feel it? I think you can! : )

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...
