Your Name In Lights....er, Vinyl!

The title wall at the Baylor Health Sciences Library for my show "ORGANUM"

Hey neat, I've never had my name in vinyl before! Yesterday was all about hanging the show at Baylor, the walls looked bigger than I remembered and I wondered if I had enough work but it all came together nicely. Some of the students and faculty in the library were already complimenting the work while I was still putting it up. YAY! The room needed some color and I was happy to help with my artwork.
If anyone is interested in purchasing the artwork- here's how it works: You can ask me the night of the show and we'll arrange payment or you can ask the front desk for a price on the piece you like. There isn't any prices on display but I guarantee everything is very affordable. Buying on the spot secures the piece for you but the piece must hang for the duration of the show until August 31st. This is a great time to collect because the pieces don't have the additional percentage tacked on that galleries charge. I even especially made some small pieces for those wanting to collect a piece of my work. 
Pretty excited that the show is up and I'm looking around my studio and seeing EXACTLY what I have for the WAAS Gallery show and what all needs to be done still. I had some pretty exciting news come down the pipe this week- I was chosen as one of 20 artists who will be creating a custom canvas cooler for Red Bull. The event is a competition where 2 people will be chosen to go to Art Basel Miami to sell and exhibit. I can't tell you how very prestigious winning this event would be- a real career changer- as Art Basel Miami is just about the hottest art fair in the industry and making connections and exposure would surely come from this. EXCITING and I'm so honored I at least get a crack at it. Besides that I'm steady on my own exciting path of turning some of my paintings into textiles. Too many people to count have told me my stuff would look great on this or that and now I'm making it a reality. Super excited to see my art in new incarnations!
WAAS Gallery is my big priority right now and a little secret project has me collaborating with a very impressive artist making waves right now...but that's gotta stay hush hush until our paint powers come together. SHHHHHH!
All my new works have NOT been posted to facebook so they should be all fresh and new for WAAS. I need to totally clean my studio today, the cats have been at it again. I'm also taking the door handles off my IKEA wardrobe so I can have a makeshift "wall" to hang a big piece of unstretched canvas for a large piece I'm wanting to do. You use what ya got and wall space I don't have right now. On that note- lots to do so hopefully catch you tomorrow night at the art opening:

*** The Library asks guests to enter through the 3500 Gaston entrance to the hospital, you'll see an information desk on your right and if you continue right through the corridor you'll see a sign directing you to the library. : )

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...
