August Already- let's break some records!

Wow, July has been something else!

Neil Matthiessen and I at the Colorimetry show on view thru Aug 9

August is already here and it came in on Julys last hot dying breath. Temps in the 100's daily! This month will see me closing out my two shows that are up right now.
The first one to close is COLORIMETRY at WAAS GALLERY, it closes AUGUST 9. Have you seen it yet? I'm pretty proud of the show and the lovely space it's in right now.
Please go see it before it's gone! 
The next show to close will be ORGANUM at Baylor Health Sciences Library, it closes August 30. You have plenty of time to go check it out :)
There are still lots of pieces for sale from both exhibits

Looks like I have more freelance work coming my way (which I sorely need) and am spending the next few days creating another painting for a special private party I've been invited to be the feature artist at. Latino Leaders Magazine asked me to show a few pieces this week at a nice little spot in the Design District. They came out and did a photo shoot last week while I worked on the Mary Kay project- the worlds largest art work made solely of makeup! The Guinness Book of World Records people come out on Tuesday to officiate and that will be the final party for it. It's been such a great and positive project and I got to work with the most amazing people and made new friends! : ) Big thanks to Latino Leaders and Sara Pintilie for the beautiful photos!
We've all been on the news and had our pictures taken by the paper, hundreds of women (and fellas too) praised us and cheered us daily. Could there be a more fun project? NOPE!

My newest interview was published in Mercado Bilingue, in this issue I interviewed graffiti artist SONER. And go see our collaboration at WAAS Gallery before it comes down! Check out the article here!
"Intuition and Radar" collaborative piece with SONER and Patricia Rodriguez, a sweet fan shows you how LARGE this piece is 

I've been a busy, busy bee and don't see me stopping any time soon. Todays looking like a beautiful Sunday and theres a canvas waiting for me in the studio. Enjoy the day!

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
