Mights and Maybes

"Layers and Tiers"
Finished this painting that was abandoned last year when life got busy. It was something I needed to get out of my system so I could move on. I never leave unfinished works hanging around and it irks me to not complete things.

It's in the same palette and theme of "Las Grutas 2" but more of a landscape feel. I may do some smaller versions to complete the family. Undecided right now. I'm going to list these on Saatchi this weekend for interested buyers- as well as my own personal site.

Finished another digital art print, "Pink Moon 3" and as soon as I get my Buddha back I'll be ready to launch the new round of prints!
Ive got some "MIGHTS AND MAYBES" in the works and I've become zen enough to accept if they don't happen for whatever reason and accepting if they do happen (both are work intensive). Maybe a mural in LA and might be doing another side job along with all my current hustling. Whatever happens happens is my current state of mind along with MAKE IT WORK FOR ME. Things need to benefit me these days, I'm pretty much done with the crawling for crumbs lifestyle.
I put beautiful things into the world-that's worth something!
It's Saturday and lots of work to do but Im excited to fit in a girlfriends brunch on Sunday with my friends I hardly see but love dearly.
Make time for the important things- work will always be there.

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
