Crunch time or What the Hell.....

Samichlaus and Schmutzli-  Swiss Christmas characters

Because I've been sick since the day after Thanksgiving (still coughing, seriously wtf?) and I'm behind on a few commissions (which I'm rocking out today and tomorrow)....I have neglected all signs of the season. I don't have a tree up. I don't have a wreath up. No sign of Christmas has appeared AT ALL in my house. Because my Doctor has decided this month was the month to drain my wallet... any gifts or such things are not gonna happen. I am barely going to eek out the rent and hopefully bills. I hope to have enough to buy a lone ham to share with my Mom and brothers. It's like that. Ah well, it's nothing new. I'm not into the shopping frenzy this holiday has become anyway. But I would like to send some cards out to my friends and family so I better get crackin'. I kinda want to take this time to CLEAN and PURGE my house of unwanted junk before the new year. I have decided this holiday was just going to be simple. Dinner with the family and if I get a chance to put the tree up then AWESOME. If I don't, who says I have to get it up before Dec 25? 
Maybe I can celebrate it whenever I want?
At any rate it's a busy week for me painting and organizing and trying to make some cash. If you were wanting to grab a piece from me from the dwindling stash I have left, my work is at a few places right now and you'll be helping ME and the venue out.
KETTLE ART GALLERY (2 pieces available I believe, both priced at $90. 50% goes to me, 50% to Kettle)
NEIGHBORHOOD (my larger pieces are here with a 50/50 split)
KESSLER THEATER (Totem is here along with a few pieces )
TYLER STREET SALON (Twiggy records! $60 each all proceeds to ME <3)
Hope everyone is enjoying the simple things in life, like breathing, family, health....remember what it's about and thanks for keeping up with my art rollercoaster!

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

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
