The Path of.....

"The Path of Patience" acrylic/krylon on 24" x 24" gallery wrapped canvas

Well I did it! I finished the piece just in time to deliver it for it's big debut on Saturday! You see... I had the problem of having all my work locked into different venues when I was asked to show at Gallery at Midtown. Not one to let opportunity slip through my fingers AND always up for a challenge I rolled up my sleeves, accepted the mission and worked my tail off. I'm seeing a pattern here....it all involves working my tail off.
Here is a detail shot of some of the grasshoppers which I used as a symbol of patience in this piece.
A lot of this series has come to me in dreams, such as the fruit and in the previous work...the white glowing snails. I've been studying the symbolism of these things and it's been pretty interesting. A friend suggested I make prints of this whole series and I like the idea. It will be a slow process as I'm broke but little by little the prints will get made. Everything has to be professionally shot and then printed. Aye dinero.....how I hate thee and your obstacles.
Now this piece is done I will immediately start the next one while the momentum is hot and because I obviously need to just keep working my tail off until this body of work is complete. A gallery wants to see my work and that means I need work to show them so busy, busy, hustle, bustle and buzz buzz for me. Oh and in case you don't keep up with me on facebook, here is all what happened yesterday:

If you click that link you'll see my Doodle Bugs were featured for the 3 x 3 writeup at the Observer blog. You might even notice they were credited to someone named Patricia Rodgers. That made me laugh. And then hot on the heels of that came this:

So two Doodle Bug sightings in one day! Famous little bugs! I still have no idea whether or not they sold or are still available.
Then this happened:
I was collected by Godzilla, a BIG collector. I'm big in Japan. I'm kind of a big deal.
(Thanks to Mark Aaron Sharon for the wonderful laughs yesterday)

Digital Vacation

  Have you looked around and discovered you have filled your life with bad habits? If you said NO- good for you, you might not be human! 😁  I was experiencing a major BLAH and it was all because of ME. What I spent time on, consumed, did and did not do. I also felt like the willpower I used to have in abundance was gone and I wondered if I would ever get it back.  First and foremost I had to look at my main bad habits. What was the very first thing I did every day. EVERY DAY! I reached for my phone, I social media blitzed my brain over two long cups of coffee every morning. I made sure to look at my MEMORIES like it was my job every day. Ruminating on the past and seeing everyone's angry opinions and celebrity/political posts and regurgitated memes ad nauseum....is actually not a very optimistic and healthy way for me to cruise into the day. Not only is this not good for my spirit it wasted almost two hours of every morning. 💀 That's precious time!  I'm weaning mys...

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 ...

Top 10 Reasons

  Have you seen Labyrinth? The scene where she finally realizes she had the power all along and that actually Gareth did not ...that's powerful stuff. My favorite part....aside from every scene with David Bowie prancing about in too tight leggings. 😁 My digital vacation got interrupted yesterday. I've still been checking my messages in Messenger because HI IM AN ART BUSINESS AND THAT DONT STOP. I was alerted that the scammer had hit up a mutual friend and because I was trying to be Art Spiderman I went swinging back online to see what was going on. Unfortunately the scammer got someone and I had to make another PSA about it to help my peeps understand what was going on. Barring that though... it's up to YOU to be SMART PROACTIVE RESEARCHING humanoids. I can't save you.  Also my brief pop into fakebook gave me enough fodder to want to keep my vacation going. Here's what I was met with on messenger and on my page upon landing:  1. People pushing politics/celebrities ...
