Spring Cleaning!

Electric eels painting from a few years back has become new fresh Bucketfeet design in my Threadless shop!
Big thanks to fellow artista Cynthia Ann Miró McDaniel for being my first shoe customer! She's an artist,designer and arts educator and I think these are just perfect for my artsy  peeps!
It is time for Spring cleaning- just wrapped up a big arduous project for a hotel and while Im still in the middle of another one (a million paper leaves!) I do have a little time to do an important task- update my sites!
For instance- this orange/green retro blog theme is SO OLD and not my current vibe. Time for an update. My website that I hate- don't get me started on the major undertaking that will be ...but I can at least update it for now. My Shopify and Threadless stuff isn't even on there. I need new business cards, a logo and to try to sync a lot of stuff up. I haven't been tagging my blog and that's not helping my Google ranking. There is SO MUCH TO DO as a self employed business owner with zero backing and funds...its too much...but chip away day by day. It's how it gets done in the end.
Also it's high time to get back to my painting. The biggest part of all this is CREATING. So hopefully the day is all mine to crank away on all these things.
So while I wish I had a website wizard to just do all this for hugs and art-the reality is its on me to get er done.
Enjoy the day friends!
Expect new blog look soon-woohoo!

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...
