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...

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...
