Hello February

                 Hibernating Butterfly
New month and ready for it. It's Friday and there's projects to accomplish. Seems like a good day to set goals for the month and look at January like the training ground it was.
* Goal: more time for family and friends (Work consumes me to the point that I miss out on quality time with my tribe. Not this month!)
*Goal: less social media more reading, creating time (Doing better with this- but can do even better)
*Goal: Do work on new work platform (Signed up for new freelance stuff last month so that was a big first step- now to get integrated and start actively grabbing assignments)
*Goal: Increase reps/weights, strength training. Did well this month in the fitness dept but now its time to crank up the heat a bit.
*Goal: time management for personal art. Gotta make sure MY art keeps flowing from my studio- not just commercial work.
*Goal: Put something fun on the calendar already. I dont get vacations and my calendar is nothing but work and doctors appointments. That's not life- thats drudgery. Putting something fun on my calendar this month- like a hike or exploring a new town.
*Goal: Meditation. I fell off. And its SO GOOD when Im meditating. Have to make it a routine thing.
Ok if I can hit as many of these goals this month as possible I'll feel like life is working for me not against me. 😂
To LESS STRESS THIS MONTH! Let's make it so!

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...
