The Path of Attraction... and things becoming REALZ

"The Path of Attraction" acrylic/krylon on canvas 24" x 24"

My newest piece was finally revealed last night at Kettle Art Gallery in Deep Ellum. This along with my two NATURE GRAFF pieces and some small 12" x 12"s and that should give people a taste of what I'm up to right now. The show was great and I got to show with a few of my peeps like Brian Hamm and Micheal Broussard. Both talented local artists you should check their work out. The show will be up this month so trek down and see it!

Today I get my works back from Kessler and try to figure out where to put the musical totem again. I spent the past 3 days revamping my studio. SERIOUSLY. 3 DAYS!!! It's not a very big room but man oh man was it a MESS! I couldn't even work on anything until I had it sorted out because my brain wouldn't wrap itself around anything in that clutter. So I'm pleased to say ITS DONE! My studio is fresh and organized!

Don't tell my cats I added a PLANT when they weren't looking! Tiny painting by BlueSkySunburn

Books + Spray Paint+ CDs +Bear on Wood by Nix Johnson

Loved this New Year card my sis sent me, Munny Box+ shipping supplies+ fancy pussycats+mushroom lights

where every day starts! my band got to open for Fugazi back in the day so that print is one of my prized posessions, reminder I'm a bass player, I'm a bass player......

OMG what is that? That weird organizational tool called a Calendar (thanks sis!) is going to be implemented this year! Hell yeah it's all fancy CUPCAKES! Balance that sweet fat stuff with my running number to remind me to get my butt out there and RUN! Other artists in my studio get some love: Robert Hold Photography, ARTBOT138 and Diablo Texas.

Organizized! Canvases stacked, glues and adhesives put in one spot and cd crates got turned into stacking mini shelves to hold all my little tools of the trade.

A discontinued heater serves a new purpose, my plant and brush holder, unicorn harborer and displayer of my Dads quote...."ENJOY THE LIFE"

Thanks for taking a little trip through my studio!

So now if you have a calendar pull out your red pen because I finally have a date on my big summer show!!! JULY 11-AUG 9, 2013 the details need to be fleshed out but expect all new work from me at a wonderful gallery here in Dallas called WAAS GALLERY

I have about 6 months to make a lot of awesome and I'm going to be super busy getting this all together. How exciting! Theres other amazing stuff happening as well but I'll wait till I see green lights before I start blabbing but it involves my work flying out of Big D and to another major city but hush hush keep it down now and all that jazz.

Have a great Friday!

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
