March!

I am on the formal invite! Jumping up and down!

If you read my last sad post you might be thinking at this point I'm bipolar or something. Sad. Jumping up and Down. HA HA! Yeah, maybe....
It's a new month and I'm watching the calendar days shrink down and my future art shows getting closer. I now have a full 4 months until my show at WAAS and about 3 until Baylor. You might think that's PLENTY OF TIME for an artist to make paintings but I'd have to kick you in the shins because that's not true.
In order to pay rent and bills you have to sell works or go to work. This will take time away from you getting work done for your shows. So in a nutshell it's hustle time, time to dance around the bullets being shot at my feet and get that paintbrush moving a little faster. There's a prospective mural project I've been invited to work on which is $$ I NEED to keep my lights on and also a freelance graphic design gig is surfacing I should take as well. Hmmmm....I'm just gonna have to learn how to work on 4 hours of sleep and put myself into overdrive for awhile. But I'll chew on that when it comes. For now- wine and party time!
You're invited to LuminArte Gallery next Saturday March 9  from 7-9pm! I'll have new works on exhibit and am excited to be part of this international lineup! Wine and sangria tasting and also live music. These little outings will be the rare glimpses of your artist hermit friend most likely so come say hi!

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...
