Honey, SAD and Finding the Light

Facebook is down for a bit and...Im ok with that. It's reminding me of how nice it is when it's out of my life. Ha ha!
Just a quickie blog while I sit here with raw honey on my face- its a lovely and easy facial without ANYTHING weird. Just bee goodness. 🐝
Launched prints yesterday and have alot of stuff to do to sync my SHOP up with some art products. I'm dedicated to getting my business to WORK FOR ME but there's SO MUCH TO DO AND LEARN! The first and primary thing is: MAKE THE WORK

So not getting too bogged down with computer stuff right now- I have to create, make the work and produce.
This was a weird week of starting a diet and killing it in the same sentence. I cant tolerate headaches. Im not doing it right. But my DIM came in and I'm starting it today.
Take 2! No beating yourself up just jump back in there. I also did not see my gym all week. Next week I'll be back to punching. Right now I'm being honest with myself and I just want to be home-creating and not having headaches because I'm depriving myself of coffee and food. 😒
It's Friday and GREY and Im fighting Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and I want the sun back but it is what it is.
It's Reggae time and paint time and finding the light that's there somewhere.
Have a great Friday! Prints can be found here: https://tigerbee-arts.myshopify.com
I'll talk more about the beautiful paper its on next time and also how these are LIMITED EDITION signed prints and won't be offered forever so get them while you can 💋

How I had the best art year

This was the year I got rejection letters from every open call I applied to. Granted, it wasn't very many I applied to because I am very picky about what I sign up for AND I am also very jaded about these things of late. However, this was my best art year to date and I kinda love that it was all rejection notices this year and I STILL HAD THE BEST ART YEAR EVER. Takeaway: Today's open calls are very "agenda based" and the jurors they choose to judge have their agendas. Some want more millennials and younger artists and shun the older artists, some want you to tackle race, gender identity, politics, feminist, pro this or that.... And my art does not. I'm going to stick by my "Nature is more important than most bullshit" stance till I die because the very atom of life and Nature is more important in my eyes than most of the stuff humans do to feel more important than another group. But I digress! I did not get into the velvet rope clubs and it was gre

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
