End of March

Last week to catch ARTE LATINO at LuminArte Gallery- the show closes on April 6!

This month has been nuts, really can't believe it's already over. My health issues and ER adventure really set me back this month on where I need to be for paintings for the shows. I'm trying to finish up some commission projects I took on so I can get back to the work at hand- massive amounts of paintings for WAAS Gallery and Baylor. Hopefully wrapping up all commissions this weekend and hitting the canvas fresh on Monday. The Arte Latino show is closing this week so if you've yet to check it out please go give it a peep! :)
My health has been up and down, since the giant cyst is on my ovary the pain and problems I have are cyclical. I feel like a ticking time bomb set to detonate next week. I'm pretty fearful, especially is its as bad as the last one which sent me to the ER. So I'm taking extra special care of myself and not eating anything that would exacerbate the problem and lots and lots of water. I'm crossing my fingers next week comes and goes with no problem, especially since I can't take OTC meds to help with the pain now.
The program I'm trying to get into to get my followups won't be accepting appointments until MAY. : / Thats a long time to wonder if a cyst is cancerous or not. I'm just going to file it away and not think about it right now. Paint, paint, paint and try to figure out recipes with coconut and almond flour. Cutting stuff like flour tortillas and bread out means baking alternative style. 
Managed to keep the lights on and the water, hopefully the gas stays on until more monies comes in from magic land. Waiting on a mural job to start but no start date confirmed, I'm in limbo, poor limbo but must stay positive and keep working. Working will save me! 
A friend suggested I do a kickstarter kinda fundraiser thing but until I know how much followups cost I won't be able to set an amount. Magic needs to happen in April before I drown.
Still, I'm optimistic. : )

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 ...

Year of the Dragon

  First off, Happy New Year to my blog readers! Not sure if I actually have blog readers but if I do- I wish you well! We are coming up on the Chinese Lunar New Year and it's Year of the Dragon! I jumped into the year at a crazy pace and really need to pace myself for ALL THE THINGS I'm trying to accomplish. First off it was very important to me to launch a couple things and explore some other platforms. Those being: Tiktok, Patreon and YouTube I'll go on to say that I actually did not want to do any of these. I repeat DID NOT WANT TO DO THESE.  *Didn't think I was worthy for people to pay me on Patreon and also thought creating perks for people monthly was a lot of work. So far ...IT IS A LOT OF WORK....but I am new and growing from the ground up and that's how it is. Growing pains! I'm working to learn and streamline this so it goes hand in hand with... *YouTube channel! Who actually does not enjoy seeing my weird face and voice in a video? Hi. ME. I really di...

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...
