February 1st: Fall In Love With Your Bike

One of the pieces from Affordable Art Thursday "Where It Comes From"

Today is a new month, we all survived 31 days of the New Year and now it's time to flip the page and do it all over again. I did a lot of painting this month which is normal since it's my JOB now. Yesterday I completed my first Affordable Art Thursday mission and offered up 2 paintings for $75 each. They were painted carefully and nicely just as I would paint on my larger works and in reality these should be priced at about $125 for materials and hours that went in it but I wanted to keep the price under $100 at least for these initial ones. The piece up above is still available and this one sold pretty quickly
"Some Grow Up, Some Grow Down" collected by Jessica Wells

I will put all the availables in an online photo album and any would be collectors can purchase at will. Some will be different sizes and price points, all will be high quality paintings in my style. Just a reminder this project helps fund my big summer art show by allowing me to buy materials and TIME to work on the bigger works. It's like Kickstarter but when you donate you walk away with a piece of art along with knowing you're funding a big dream by your support. 
Today is installation day at the Texas Theater, I've been hustling over these vinyl records and finally have a little stack ready to hang for the glam themed art show and screening tomorrow night of HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH. DJ Woodtronic and I will be djing after a fab drag show and it's costume time so let's play dress up! I'll be riding my bike TUCO over to install records this afternoon and I can't wait because I miss my bike something awful. Heres a record that I finished yesterday that sold within seconds of posting
Some of the records have fun glitter added!
I've just about completed all my projects on records, a commission left for a friend and then it's on to canvases! 
Be sure to check the TIGERBEE ARTS page on Facebook so you don't miss collecting a piece you might want at an amazing price! Hope to see some of you Saturday night at the show!

Words!

  Hello! I haven't blogged since last year. Even writing the word "blog" felt foreign and weird! I have actually been writing stuff on my Patreon account so if you've missed the updates you can sign up for free over there. There is also an option to pay a few dollars a month to help support me as an artist and get "extra" content- in case you are of that mindset and either way- thank you for caring about the art adventures.  I have missed blogging actually. I guess I like to make words, string them together like a pretty necklace and let them live their own expressive life wrapped around me.  Times are different. Times are weird! But I guess you know that. And also times are the same and as old as time. Is it really more terrible than any other time or are we humans just more "connected" to the propaganda and daily bad trip in a way that is insane and unhealthy? Either way I do my best to keep my sanity and I don't believe about 98% of what I s...

It's the little things...

I will eventually get back to posting about art 😂 but I lost my first pound with just 3 days of dedicating myself to Metabolic Renewal...and this is me playing fast and loose because A. I did not buy their shakes I'm doing my own. So I don't really know their caloric/nutrition value vs mine. B. Getting 10,000 steps a day on my pedometer.... doesn't happen. That's almost two hours of walking a day. I get 8,000 or 9,000 before the Texas heat or work calls it off. C. Haven't followed any of the meal recipes. I've been winging it with good sense. I will get closer to their instructions in time ( like maybe next week) since I paid for it. My body is SORE AF. It's totally getting put through the paces and I'm lucky there are modifications for pudgy newbies like me. But 1st lb down is a good feeling because seeing the scale move down is what I'm after. I'm pretty proud of myself for yesterday in general..did my workout, a walking session THEN WENT ...

The calm during the storm

Fist Pumps! Cool rainy weather has hit Dallas. Just in time for the opening of the State Fair of Texas and Oktoberfest...which I just happened to be at yesterday by happenstance. Oktoberfest that is, not the Fair. No, I did not have any bier. I did have a fun time walking around between biergartens and weiner dog races in the rain with good company though! I had to drop off my piece "FLOURISH" to a place in McKinney Tx called ORISONS who will be having a gallery walk in a few weeks. There were a lot of people down there for the festivities so they wanted the work to show off to all the traffic. It's been quite a week(end) and I just wanted to pop off a blog to say thanks to everyone who has been supporting by coming to the shows and making purchases and just high fiving me on facebook, etc. THANKS SO MUCH! I've been working my tail off in the studio- that's the part you don't see...but hopefully you can see it in my work when it's done. All the t...
