Hot Dates

Monterrey Daydream # 2 and #1 acrylic/krylon on canvas 24" x 24" ea

I've just completed the 2nd canvas (on left) and it's on to the 3rd canvas I'll be entering into LuminArte Gallerys exhibit ARTE LATINO. Which brings me to the title of my blog, I have SOLID DATES on all these shows I'm booked up with. Got your calendars ready?
March 9- April 6 "ARTE LATINO" An exhibition of artists from Latin America at LuminArte Gallery
May 31-Aug 30 "Organum" SOLO SHOW at Baylor Health Sciences Library 
July 11-Aug 9 joint show at WAAS Gallery with artist Neil Matthiessen details TBA

I've been invited to a couple other things but it's all depending on how much I can complete without losing my mind. As much as I'd like to take ALL the candy I have to be realistic and not kill myself. 
I'm also not married to my paintings as you see them photographed. It is quite possible I will just start painting stuff all over them so they could be quite different by the time you see them. I have to keep growing and developing, learning and experimenting. Today I start the new canvas and get contracts signed and sent over, artists statements and bios and all that jazz are requested and my upcoming Composite Arts Magazine stuff needs to be turned in. In the middle of all that I need to get stuff ready for tomorrows DJ gig
A little dancing break in a sea of work!
And tomorrow if you're out on the town and want to collect some affordable art- Kettle Art Gallery is having a For The Love of Artists show. All the artists who donated their work to help Kettle have been invited to show... and all proceeds from this go straight to the artist. Check this link for all the info! I have two small pieces up for grabs. It's also the last day to see my records at Texas Theater before I bring em home and list em on Etsy!

And then come dance with me- it's FREE and you're not gonna see me for awhile!
Have a great weekend!

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...

Taming the monster

What started as me deciding to spend 30 minutes picking out clothes to donate from my closet .. Turned into about 2 hours of folding t shirts, jeans and deciding winter was far enough away that all sweaters and coats could be packed away. My closet was a walk-in diaster. My cat had lived in it all winter, knocked stuff down, slept on it, fuzzed up clothes and built forts. No lie.  I had been living in the same two pairs of jeans and 5 shirts off my bedroom floor (closet #2 😂). First things first, all the T shirts from OLD JOBS were the first to get put in donation pile. I don't need memories of "that place" and they were all too small, waaay too large or tan/beige/grey ..all the wrong unhappy colors that just say JOB when you look at them. Bye! So that happened yesterday. Major project that still needs work but for now it is peaceful enough to my brain to leave it alone. I have two large loads of laundry to do because my clothes look like...well like a cat has been sleep...

The Age of Upgrade

BIG BATCH OF HAND PAINTED WAX FOR SAN FRANCISCO I wanted to do a  blog about the upgrade I'm doing and why. Because I am an artist and not a business person I have been lax on so many things I shouldn't have been and caused myself a lot of headaches. This was a year of growing pains for my business and days before my birthday I decided my new age of 39 would be one of grand changes. For starters...I'm typing this on an old Android phone. It's the only equipment I have. My old Mac finally gave up the ghost and I can no longer do any graphic designing in Photoshop or even save files. This will need to be upgraded, I need a computer. Let's talk about vinyl though...I started doing the vinyl about 6 years ago and they were pretty basic novice attempts at painting on vinyl. After many experiments, failures and tons of practice... I have brought them into their own. They started as $30 discs and climbed as I got better. I marked everything DOWN to $50 this year...
