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".

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 ...
