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!

Digital Vacation

  Have you looked around and discovered you have filled your life with bad habits? If you said NO- good for you, you might not be human! 😁  I was experiencing a major BLAH and it was all because of ME. What I spent time on, consumed, did and did not do. I also felt like the willpower I used to have in abundance was gone and I wondered if I would ever get it back.  First and foremost I had to look at my main bad habits. What was the very first thing I did every day. EVERY DAY! I reached for my phone, I social media blitzed my brain over two long cups of coffee every morning. I made sure to look at my MEMORIES like it was my job every day. Ruminating on the past and seeing everyone's angry opinions and celebrity/political posts and regurgitated memes ad nauseum....is actually not a very optimistic and healthy way for me to cruise into the day. Not only is this not good for my spirit it wasted almost two hours of every morning. 💀 That's precious time!  I'm weaning mys...

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 ...

Top 10 Reasons

  Have you seen Labyrinth? The scene where she finally realizes she had the power all along and that actually Gareth did not ...that's powerful stuff. My favorite part....aside from every scene with David Bowie prancing about in too tight leggings. 😁 My digital vacation got interrupted yesterday. I've still been checking my messages in Messenger because HI IM AN ART BUSINESS AND THAT DONT STOP. I was alerted that the scammer had hit up a mutual friend and because I was trying to be Art Spiderman I went swinging back online to see what was going on. Unfortunately the scammer got someone and I had to make another PSA about it to help my peeps understand what was going on. Barring that though... it's up to YOU to be SMART PROACTIVE RESEARCHING humanoids. I can't save you.  Also my brief pop into fakebook gave me enough fodder to want to keep my vacation going. Here's what I was met with on messenger and on my page upon landing:  1. People pushing politics/celebrities ...
