Week of MEH!

Its kind of been a busy week but it also feels like I wasn't really here.
It happens- you have the best intentions...you're going to do all these projects and get stuff done....and then...that restless aimless feeling happens.
That was me this week. Started out full throttle on Monday and then it was like my brain had a flat tire. It didn't want to do anything. It wanted to sleep.
So I gave myself room to sleep. I let myself wander in and out of rooms "wanting"to do things but saying MEH. I let myself just be. I figure something internal was tired of my busy bee bullshit and needed to rebel a bit.
Its annoying as a super productive person to get like this but there's also not much you can do but go with the flow.
In actuality I did accomplish some things. Like that little video up there.
I added a new app to my arsenal and watched some tutorials on how to use it. KineMaster was compatible with my phone and fairly easy to use. My phone doesn't have a lot of space so videos need to be deleted after uploading but there it is...my first KineMaster video for Instagram. Videos have become very imperative for social media and I am all about the EASIEST LESS TIME CONSUMING way to get something up please!
Also I completed that little meditative painting...
...and I've been invited to participate in a pop up art event next month in the Design District so I can't say MEH anymore...I have work to do.
I'll have two tabletops to fill with small works and prints. The fire has been lit.
Good thing I got my naps out of my system! I'll post more as I get more info about it.
So the weekend is busy, record commissions and doing sketches for a client's custom footwear...and more small painting.

I also started an IG account for my active boy Tuco...because he's cute and it's funny. My other cats will make appearances here and there but he is the ham of the family. You can follow his adventures as a studio cat @tucothestudiocat
Up early about to do all the things and work out-my blood pressure has been great lately. I made a gluten free peach crisp and was naughty and had to have vanilla ice cream with it last night. 😳 So its payback time at the gym. Juggling health, work, personal art career and cats...maybe Im more productive than I give myself credit for! 😛😂 
Have a great Caturday!

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
