The New Year


Finished the year with a good walk in the sun and spotted ...these gorgeous mushrooms! I hadn't seen any in months. They made me so happy and reminded me of how much fun I had this year just stopping everything to look for them. Looking at the small things and finding delight.
I thought I would be asleep at midnight but woke up from a great nap just in time to toast in the New Year with my honey.
Although we have champagne and wine in the house we opted for some ginger beer to ring it in. Its a mix of laziness and amazing wisdom. No one likes to go into the New Year feeling like crap and I've successfully avoided hangovers all year so why go out like that? I'll save the bottle for my studio opening or small gathering of friends. Sharing is caring. I've become very responsible in my old age. 😛😂

Yesterday I hung up my happy bright panda piece. He will greet you on entering and exiting my house. He feels like good vibes and makes the place fun. HAVE FUN will be one of my mantras this year. Yes, I said mantras. Light some incense and get groovy.
Today is the first day of the New Year- which happens every day if you let it. I'm feeling like pouring abundance into the house and cooking up food for the week. Jalapeño cheese cornbread is going to happen as well as some traditional black eyed peas.
Then its studio time- getting things ready to ship tomorrow and working on some record art.
And READING- I didn't make any resolutions this year but set my intentions to READ more and direct my energy to more creative projects and music, etc.
Hoping everyone is in a good place right now and may your 2019 be all you desire it to be!

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...
