Nature Graffiti


crappy cell phone pics of my latest piece: "Nature Graff 1"

There was NO work in my studio at all and I wasn't going out of 2012 with a bare studio. I had been asked for a few pieces in this style for a local shop so I decided to get moving. The end result was this, it was an idea I had been toying around with before I went bright and rainbow ballistic- tame and elegant but still using my organic Nature shapes. It reminded me a little of the crazy flourishes taggers are so great at- that I suck at. I've always loved graffitti but I wouldn't even know where to begin with that. In any case this is a bit like graff if Nature put it's stamp on something.  My goal is to make these affordable so in order to do that I can't spend 100 hours on them (as Ive been known to do). So I clocked in when I would start painting and clock out when I stopped. When all was said and done this is about 8 hours worth of painting (not counting the priming). So if I wanted to get super serious I could paint one of these a day just as if I were going to work- which in reality I am. It's time to get serious, the holidays are over and my bank account is almost empty. For reals.
So expect a few more of these to come down the pipe and if you're interested in getting one -I said they were super affordable- message me privately. 
Tonight, tonight, tonight....a bit of fun! SHOW ME THE MUNNY 3 is finally here and I'm expecting to bump into some friends who also created pieces for the show. 


It's going to be fun seeing a whole room full of these guys in different shapes, sizes and personas! I hear if you get there early they are giving away a bunch of freebie stuff so come out and have some fun with TOYS!!! I was very tempted when dropping him off at Atama to....go buy another blank to paint. AAAGGGHHH! I don't need another project right now! :)
Have a great friday! Stick your tongue at someone!

NYAH!!!

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
