Stay Positive

Some little Yupo art I made and gave away

Yesterday someone wrote me and reminded me to stay positive. I needed the reminder. It dawned on me that half the month was now over and even though this electric bill looms like a black cloud on the horizon...it won't be long before rent is due...which is way more important in my eyes. So Im switching gears...
I have two projects I have to hustle on and Im setting aside the new little paintings I've been trying to sell online and focusing on the projects.
Social media has just proven once again to be filled with empty likes and hearts and almost no one helping to share your work (those that have- THANK YOU) but will wile away the day sharing
dumb memes, stories about celebrities and an endless drool over political figures. Thanks. 😉 I mean that happily. A point has been proven that I've long known.  But back to staying positive...
"
In mindfulness one is not only restful and happy, but alert and awake. Meditation is not evasion; it is a serene encounter with reality.
Thich Nhat Hanh, The Miracle of Mindfulness: An Introduction to the Practice of Meditation. "

I will do my meditation today. I will stay positive. I will put my nose to the grindstone and I will enjoy this day. I will. 
I have LOTS to do to try to crawl out of the hole and turn this all around. And things could always be worse. I'm donating some art to a local artist who is facing cancer...and that's not me today...so gratitude. GRATITUDE! 🙌 
Another day to try, try again. Here we go- STAY POSITIVE!

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...

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...

The calm during the storm

Fist Pumps! Cool rainy weather has hit Dallas. Just in time for the opening of the State Fair of Texas and Oktoberfest...which I just happened to be at yesterday by happenstance. Oktoberfest that is, not the Fair. No, I did not have any bier. I did have a fun time walking around between biergartens and weiner dog races in the rain with good company though! I had to drop off my piece "FLOURISH" to a place in McKinney Tx called ORISONS who will be having a gallery walk in a few weeks. There were a lot of people down there for the festivities so they wanted the work to show off to all the traffic. It's been quite a week(end) and I just wanted to pop off a blog to say thanks to everyone who has been supporting by coming to the shows and making purchases and just high fiving me on facebook, etc. THANKS SO MUCH! I've been working my tail off in the studio- that's the part you don't see...but hopefully you can see it in my work when it's done. All the t...
