Sending Out An S.O.S





This is a pretty condensed version of what I'm going through and what I need help with. I honestly don't know how much this is going to cost. I AM A TICKING TIME BOMB and this is dire for me to get seen and treated ASAP. I have less than 28 days before the pain episode comes on again. I could go into detail about how this is the worst pain ever in the world, that for about a week I will feel like Im being stabbed and murdered every other hour. The pain brings on nausea and nonstop vomitting. I have been prescribed Hydrocodone but can't take it because I throw it up within 5 minutes. I can't hold down water and eventually have to go to the ER where they stabilize me with drugs and send me back out saying I need to see a specialist. This will require surgery. I am uninsured and need help. Please check this link and donate if you can.  http://www.gofundme.com/2im5r0

About me: I am a local Dallas artist who has been very giving of my work and time throughout the years. I have donated art to KETTLE GALLERY, ARTCON, ALLYS HOUSE, Incrementum and numerous other charities throughout the years. I have been an avid arts advocate, writing features on local artists and spotlighting art events and venues in the community for the DFW Mercado Bilingue publication and web. I founded BARTERING ARTISTS where artists and service providers could barter with each other in lieu of money for things that are needed but may not be affordable. I am not a selfish member of the community and hope maybe some of the light will shine on me in my time of need. Please if you can help or know someone who can- this is the most important thing in my life right now. I need to work and be healthy again.
Thank you! How can you help?

  • If you know a medical provider OB/GYN who can work with a low income patient thru payment plan/discounts/etc and can see me ASAP please refer them to me
If you know anyone who could provide any assistance at all ASAP, please refer to me
Thanks so much for your support, compassion and love

    Patricia, contact EASL (Emergency Artist Support League). They are a local organization that exists specifically to help artists in difficult situations such as your current one. I don't have their contact info, but it should be easy to find online. With good thoughts for a quick recovery!

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...
