Big new LAUNCH!

(Hammering out all the things that haunt me)
Up early having my morning brew and feeling pretty accomplished with this week so far. I managed the Herculean task of updating my WEBSITE...and I don't mean just refreshing some new photos...I mean a complete overhaul and rebranding. It was painful....
Theres a lot I had to cut to make my site CLEAN, CURRENT and easy to navigate.
That means not having everything I've ever painted clogging up the galleries but a nice smattering of the most recent and my best (albeit older) works.

  • Got everything linked in for anyone wanting to purchase art or prints and any of my art merch. 
  • Made an available art page with pricing (crucial) and had to read up on some DO'S and DON'TS for art websites. I think it's pretty clean and I love it A MILLION TIMES BETTER.

You can peep it here and can even give me feedback ☺
MY NEW SHINY WEBSITE CLICK CLICK

At some point Im doing a Wordpress site but for now Im happy with this. So with NEW BLOG LAYOUT and NEW WEBSITE I have successfully knocked out two major pains in the butt that have been haunting me. Next up: NEW BUSINESS CARDS
It never stops!
Speaking of new...I launched Kimonos last week! They are so cool- I'll be adding new designs and styles but this one with the egrets is so classic

You can find this pretty in my SHOPIFY.

In the thick of projects and starting to plan out the upcoming month and make a list of new things to knock out. When you work for yourself planning ahead is crucial- always have the next project lined up, the next thing ready to launch and new stuff in production.
As my wise friend once told me "treat your business like a business"- the simplicity of those words resound with me every day. If you only put about 20 minutes worth of work into your business that's the payout you'll receive. The more you put in- the more you'll receive. I have already seen the fruits of this philosophy at work.
Ok busy day in the studio for me- thanks for checking out my website and please give feedback- it helps me grow!

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
