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!

How I had the best art year

  This was the year I got rejection letters from every open call I applied to. Granted, it wasn't very many I applied to because I am very picky about what I sign up for AND I am also very jaded about these things of late.  However, this was my best art year to date and I kinda love that it was all rejection notices this year and I STILL HAD THE BEST ART YEAR EVER. Takeaway: Today's open calls are very "agenda based" and the jurors they choose to judge have their agendas. Some want more millennials and younger artists and shun the older artists, some want you to tackle race, gender identity, politics, feminist, pro this or that.... And my art does not. I'm going to stick by  my "Nature is more important than most bullshit" stance till I die because the very atom of life and Nature is more important in my eyes than most of the stuff humans do to feel more important than another group.  But I digress! I did not get into the velvet rope clubs and it was gre

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
