A working weekend

Photo of me in my studio before the photographer showed up!

Had a wonderfully productive weekend in the studio. It started Friday with me doing a MAJOR cleaning session at my house. The Dallas Observer peeps were coming by to take photos of me for an upcoming interview. I'll post a link when it's out- should be a couple of weeks. In the background is "Safely Away"- my newest piece and it's since been picked up by the collector so my studio is EMPTY of magic right now. This means....time to paint more!

"Safely Away", 36" x 48" acrylic on canvas. Kimme Collection
Just got this one back from being professionally scanned and put it up in my Shopify as LIMITED EDITION SIGNED PRINTS. I get these printed on RIVES PAPERS, a beautiful French paper with just the right amount of texture- sign them and ship them off. You can pick up your print here (theres a 10% off code at the top of my site!)

I'm in the thick of a commercial art project this week thats involving hundreds of paper leaves that are hand painted, cut and glued to little pins that will be hammered into place on their respective displays. Its very repetitive work but kinda meditative. I'm defintely remembering my LEATHER FEATHER days of production art and hot gluing days of yore :D 

As soon as that wraps up I'm on a project to revamp a local biz logo and prepare to do a couple murals at their upcoming new spot. More details on that as it materializes! Work is flowing and that is great. This week will also see me designing a new line of kimonos and more BUCKETFEET SHOES! It's kind of addictive and my friends and fans are loving them, especially my Peonies Power Kicks

You can order your Bucketfeet from my Threadless shop:

Busy, busy week and trying to update my website. When the interview comes out I want my site to at least be CURRENT and easy to navigate to see new work and stuff that is available. An artists work is never done- and with that... I'm off to chase all the things!
Did you notice?My blog finally got a new LOOK! It only took like 3 minutes- why didn't I do it sooner? HAHAHAHA! I think it's much cleaner and not so "70s".

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...

The Age of Upgrade

BIG BATCH OF HAND PAINTED WAX FOR SAN FRANCISCO I wanted to do a  blog about the upgrade I'm doing and why. Because I am an artist and not a business person I have been lax on so many things I shouldn't have been and caused myself a lot of headaches. This was a year of growing pains for my business and days before my birthday I decided my new age of 39 would be one of grand changes. For starters...I'm typing this on an old Android phone. It's the only equipment I have. My old Mac finally gave up the ghost and I can no longer do any graphic designing in Photoshop or even save files. This will need to be upgraded, I need a computer. Let's talk about vinyl though...I started doing the vinyl about 6 years ago and they were pretty basic novice attempts at painting on vinyl. After many experiments, failures and tons of practice... I have brought them into their own. They started as $30 discs and climbed as I got better. I marked everything DOWN to $50 this year...
