Back in Black

A mural work in progress

Had to halt work in my studio for a hot minute to do some real world pay-the-rent kind of work. But as far as that kind of work goes it's a dream, pays very well, allowed me to design it and will be part of a live painting event for a lucrative set of people. If anything it will be fun and I'll have added another mural to my repertoire and hopefully make some connections, which usually happens. I was lucky to befriend an awesome artist who has the rare trait of trying to share the good fortune and work instead of secretly hoarding and being stingy like..., way too many Artists. I'm blessed to know the dude but I'll give him shout outs after the event since it's kinda mysterious right now about who the event is for.
The mural will be finished at said event LIVE, so the guests can enjoy seeing the completion.
But today it's back in the studio for me so I can work on my own show for the Kirk Hopper gallery. The tally is now: 3 collaborations done, 6 personal works complete. 1 collaboration left to finish, 4 personal works left to finish and jumping into a 3d piece if time still allows. It's crunch time with exactly one month left till the show.
I really can't wait to see all our work in one room. I'm really such a fan of SONERs work and think our colors are going to radiate in this show.
So that's a peek into my world, a lot of painting, switching gears, keeping my eyes on the calendar and doing my best to do my best.
Press release should go out soon so heads up on more about the show!

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...
