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!

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
