Upswing? Maybe?


I may possibly be on the upswing as far as this cold is concerned...at least I hope so. These things have been known to grab you back under and drag you into the murky depths just when you think you're safe. But heading into my studio today to work and just staying on top of symptoms...and zinc.
I've got two records to knock out and get sent off and need to go get the Buddha scanned so I can make prints. Being in bed miserable gave me lots of time to think about my long list of to-dos. I should have caught up on reading but fevers and sneezing and coughing don't make that very enjoyable.
One thing I did do was start the gargantuan task of pricing Print On Demand prints that I'll be offering soon and start loading those into the Shopify. I'm starting mainly with some digital art I've done.
"Trio" mixed media digital art print

Example of digital/ physical media art I've been playing with. Im hoping to offer a whole series of abstract digital prints this year on paper and canvas, etc. These started as a watercolor/ acrylic on paper in the studio and then gets digitally manipulated. It's fun to do on the side when I'm not painting on canvases. I need to be producing more in every aspect I can. 
I got a bite on my first proposal on the new work platform. I was surprised because the webinar made it seem like a long hard slog to get a return message. Beginners luck? We'll see if it turns into a project after all. 
Got my tickets to Idaho and first week of April I am THERE painting clouds on the ceiling! Super psyched- I get to see a mountain! In Dallas there is no such thing. So MUST GET BETTER cause theres lots to do! Have agood and healthy week my peeps!

Digital Vacation

  Have you looked around and discovered you have filled your life with bad habits? If you said NO- good for you, you might not be human! 😁  I was experiencing a major BLAH and it was all because of ME. What I spent time on, consumed, did and did not do. I also felt like the willpower I used to have in abundance was gone and I wondered if I would ever get it back.  First and foremost I had to look at my main bad habits. What was the very first thing I did every day. EVERY DAY! I reached for my phone, I social media blitzed my brain over two long cups of coffee every morning. I made sure to look at my MEMORIES like it was my job every day. Ruminating on the past and seeing everyone's angry opinions and celebrity/political posts and regurgitated memes ad nauseum....is actually not a very optimistic and healthy way for me to cruise into the day. Not only is this not good for my spirit it wasted almost two hours of every morning. 💀 That's precious time!  I'm weaning mys...

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 ...

Top 10 Reasons

  Have you seen Labyrinth? The scene where she finally realizes she had the power all along and that actually Gareth did not ...that's powerful stuff. My favorite part....aside from every scene with David Bowie prancing about in too tight leggings. 😁 My digital vacation got interrupted yesterday. I've still been checking my messages in Messenger because HI IM AN ART BUSINESS AND THAT DONT STOP. I was alerted that the scammer had hit up a mutual friend and because I was trying to be Art Spiderman I went swinging back online to see what was going on. Unfortunately the scammer got someone and I had to make another PSA about it to help my peeps understand what was going on. Barring that though... it's up to YOU to be SMART PROACTIVE RESEARCHING humanoids. I can't save you.  Also my brief pop into fakebook gave me enough fodder to want to keep my vacation going. Here's what I was met with on messenger and on my page upon landing:  1. People pushing politics/celebrities ...
