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!

Addicted

  Well it's official. I am addicted. Luckily to nothing horrible. It was bound to happen. I'm addicted to the morning walk...the endorphins...the serotonin...the "me" time....the solitude....the music pumping in my ears...the nature I see and feeling like I control my day.  I'm usually up before the sun and getting as much mileage as my body allows. Sometimes it's more than others but it's always good. I'm going to add in more sprints here and there as "burst" exercises are better for me than long running sessions.  Yes, even on the weekends I'm out doing it. There is no sleeping in and admittedly I woke up at 2:30am and started having my morning coffee in preparation... Even though I will wait till much later to go out. That's how I know it's an addiction.  Currently on Week 6 and haven't missed a workout or even postponed it. I showed up for myself and made myself a priority every morning. I am proud of that and so much LESS...

Everything in it's place

One of photographer Franks Lopez's vintage cameras Last week was a whirlwind of deadlines, bus trips and fun...all culminating in an art show on Saturday night and two glasses of celebratory wine for all my efforts. I had set a goal for three new vinyl works  to be done in about a week and actually made that happen (actually make that 4!). Normally 3 new vinyl pieces would be nothing for me to do in a week but I had challenged myself to work outside my realm of expertise and delve into the world of LED lights, epoxy, drills, bolts and other fascinating construction. The end result is that I can now push my vinyl creations further - the finished piece was well received! Sales were made and sales are pending and a whole new crowd has been exposed to my work. YAY!  I found myself modeling for local photographer Frank Lopez last week and was thrilled because I like his work very much. He was doing "tintypes" and I got to see the whole process in action as well as ex...

2026 Petty Edition

 I just missed blogging here. On Patreon it's always a focused point and hits people's mailboxes directly and I feel like I might be bothering them  This is more Dear Diary let me dump my brain out here.  It's 2026 and I am on point and focused on a goal. I'm a harpoon heading for my mark and I've already done the hard part of getting accepted into my goal- The Other Art Fair . If you know me you know I have put in the time, the hours, weeks, months and years. I've sacrificed everything and stripped away everything stoically to the barest essentials to be an artist.  Lost social scenes, Fair weather friends and missed out on experiences. Some of that is alright. Some of that is painful. I can definitely only keep friends who understand I am that weird friend you hardly see who is walking a monks path to my destination. I have a dream and purpose and lots of people do not. I am aware of my time here and my gift to use and some people think time is endless and...
