2015

MC5 painted vinyl record

Let's see if I still know how to write a blog....
It's 2015 now. It's strange to think how little I write here now as opposed to former years. I think I'm finally in the full swing of freelancing and new work and time for blogging just fell by the way side. That and I felt like keeping my thoughts to myself. You no doubt (all 2 of you reading) follow me on Facebook or instagram so there's no point in photo recapping anything, right?
I'm starting the year, again, by doing a real hard look at my health. I think I'm pinpointing some problems and hopefully taking the right steps to cure myself. My diet is getting all shook up but that's a good thing ultimately. I'm slowly weaning myself off coffee again which truly is one of the hardest things to kick. I may be a little grumpy and sick feeling so I'm actively deciding to post less on Facebook for a bit so I don't have regrets of saying foul things followed by a lot of exclamation marks. I've already had friends asking if I'm OK :-) 
Facebook was getting weird for me. I had too many dudes writing to me out of the blue and then some guy sent me a picture of his Wang and that was the last straw. If I'm putting out Facebook pheromones let me know because I thought I was using this thing to be silly, keep up with friends and show you my art. It's really not my fault I have accursed boobs, that being said ...get over it. 
See what I mean about grumpy posts? :-)  
Thinking outside the... circle

I got a new tool to help me start doing some 3d stuff with the vinyl records and really whatever other material I want to explore. Whatever happens this year I want this to be the year of progressing forward with my work.
Round records... Been there done that. I've mastered painting on them now let's see what else is in me. Same for canvas painting, it's time for new ideas. So if you wonder why I'm so quiet I'm over here with my thoughts and ideas, taking care of me for a change.

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...
