Put your foot on that GAS PEDAL

Mice are nice!

Getting into the middle of May and hoping time starts going slow from here on out. I have a mountain of work to do and the show just keeps inching closer.

I took a break of sorts over the weekend. I just finished two big paintings back to back and needed some brain space before I leapt on another 4ft x 5 ft collaboration piece with SONER.

So far I've got 3 new personal works done and 1 colab. Time is ticking but I'm liking the way the show is looking so far. Fantastical!

Just wrapped up the Tunnelvisions event and auction, my giant Panda went for....

....$160!

Someone got an amazing deal, I hope they realize that.

And with that Im formally ending all other events for the summer and focusing solely on this show for Kirk Hopper Gallery and nothing else so thanks but no thanks to any other showing, event, charity donation thingamajig, etc etc.

If you don't focus you get nowhere.

Today I tackle another collaboration piece, it's interesting having to work against a dark background and bounce my color palette against neon green. Definitely shaking up the color palette here, which is good.

OK, full day in the Studio and doing some mileage. I'm happy to report my health is in the feeling great zone again. I've ben seeing the pounds drop, the biceps get firmer and some ab muscles forming! I even fit back into one of my favorite summer dresses

Vintage Hawaiian dress with sailor bow collar, Tiki Tiki time!

Exercising every day has kept me on my game and in good spirits. I remember bad health last year, I am not going back there! My time to shine!

I am patiently awaiting the next issue of Studio Visit Magazine to come out and check out my upcoming feature. Exciting!

And last but not least, here's a reminder of where you can see my work around Dallas right now

Tunnelvisions exhibit, Kettle Gallery thru May 25

ELLA exhibit at the Latino Cultural Center, thru June 23

So even if you won't be able to see this little hermit you'll still be able to see my work

Have fun out there!

Digital Vacation

Have you looked around and discovered you have filled your life with bad habits? If you said NO- good for you, you might not be human! 😁 I was experiencing a major BLAH and it was all because of ME. What I spent time on, consumed, did and did not do. I also felt like the willpower I used to have in abundance was gone and I wondered if I would ever get it back. First and foremost I had to look at my main bad habits. What was the very first thing I did every day. EVERY DAY! I reached for my phone, I social media blitzed my brain over two long cups of coffee every morning. I made sure to look at my MEMORIES like it was my job every day. Ruminating on the past and seeing everyone's angry opinions and celebrity/political posts and regurgitated memes ad nauseum....is actually not a very optimistic and healthy way for me to cruise into the day. Not only is this not good for my spirit it wasted almost two hours of every morning. 💀 That's precious time! I'm weaning mys...

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 ...

Top 10 Reasons

Have you seen Labyrinth? The scene where she finally realizes she had the power all along and that actually Gareth did not ...that's powerful stuff. My favorite part....aside from every scene with David Bowie prancing about in too tight leggings. 😁 My digital vacation got interrupted yesterday. I've still been checking my messages in Messenger because HI IM AN ART BUSINESS AND THAT DONT STOP. I was alerted that the scammer had hit up a mutual friend and because I was trying to be Art Spiderman I went swinging back online to see what was going on. Unfortunately the scammer got someone and I had to make another PSA about it to help my peeps understand what was going on. Barring that though... it's up to YOU to be SMART PROACTIVE RESEARCHING humanoids. I can't save you. Also my brief pop into fakebook gave me enough fodder to want to keep my vacation going. Here's what I was met with on messenger and on my page upon landing: 1. People pushing politics/celebrities ...
