2020 and Day One

I like the word ABUNDANCE so I'm going to make that the theme as we coast into the New Year. I'm also gravitating towards the word PRODUCTIVITY and letting that guide my workflow. This year will definitely be more productivity to increase abundance and less wasting time on social media. So to lure abundance my way I created a delicious little charcuterie spread for my New Years Eve festivities last night and settled into coziness watching Twilight Zone, sleeping and waking up in time to toast the New Year with some sparkling Martinellis cider. Yeah, I felt fancy and pampered.
I still have plenty of charcuterie to snack on today as I paint-which is how Im starting the New Year! Woohoo! 

Today I'm dumping all photos off my phone so I can do longer videos and also getting into the swing with my gopro. The time Im working on editing short videos is time Im not horsing around on Facebook. 🐎 This is the year I start actively building my Youtube channel. I'm also going to sort out my Patreon and see if I can get some art support that way. I've been passively hoping for my people to buy art but some of them already have and some of them never will... so its time to hunt new collectors. New people who have never seen my work and would like to collect. I'll be opening up slots for commission work soon but want to complete this painting first and line up my ducks. 
Looking forward to a low key and productive day and wishing you all a healthy and prosperous start to the New Year! Let's all be more abundant!

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
