Weeding and Pricing

 

"Emergence 1"

My first painting of the new year is finished and titled. This week I will take it to be scanned for high res photos and printing. I'm restructuring my whole business this year and weeding out things that don't work for me. That's going to include the small prints. I'm hoping my supporters will just buy the next size up since they aren't that much more. It saves me time and hassle for little payoff. The new prints from here on out will be LIMITED EDITION prints on high quality Rives paper. Real fine art prints that will look stunning in frames. 
I'm also weeding out a lot of stuff on social media and getting very business minded about my time on there. If entities aren't following me back or art related in some way they are distracting up my feed on my @galleryrodriguez page. That page is strictly art biz. I have so much to do to get things sorted out, my website back up and online shops integrated - forgive me if I'm not as chatty as usual for awhile. I'm overwhelmed. 😳 
Along with restructuring comes price restructuring. If eggs are higher and my rent is higher... Guess what? So is the art. This big 36" x 36" canvas original is $2000 and worth every penny. I dare you to walk by it and not turn to look at it, feel uplifted and happier. 😉 But I'm also able to do payment plans for interested collectors and this is how that works...
Contact me if interested and we will agree on a plan and schedule that works for your budget. There will be an upfront price to pay (no lower than $500) and we can work out a monthly payment for you. The art stays with me until payment is completed and I'm free to show it in shows, galleries, publications, etc. This all increases the worth of your future piece. So don't be afraid to collect art- it's really not impossible or far fetched. My pieces will also be available as nice giclees- prints on canvas... So if you love one that sold out /really can't afford the original that's another great option. 
Here's to 2023 being an upgrade year with lots of fantastic art. ♥️

Words!

  Hello! I haven't blogged since last year. Even writing the word "blog" felt foreign and weird! I have actually been writing stuff on my Patreon account so if you've missed the updates you can sign up for free over there. There is also an option to pay a few dollars a month to help support me as an artist and get "extra" content- in case you are of that mindset and either way- thank you for caring about the art adventures.  I have missed blogging actually. I guess I like to make words, string them together like a pretty necklace and let them live their own expressive life wrapped around me.  Times are different. Times are weird! But I guess you know that. And also times are the same and as old as time. Is it really more terrible than any other time or are we humans just more "connected" to the propaganda and daily bad trip in a way that is insane and unhealthy? Either way I do my best to keep my sanity and I don't believe about 98% of what I s...

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...

Taming the monster

What started as me deciding to spend 30 minutes picking out clothes to donate from my closet .. Turned into about 2 hours of folding t shirts, jeans and deciding winter was far enough away that all sweaters and coats could be packed away. My closet was a walk-in diaster. My cat had lived in it all winter, knocked stuff down, slept on it, fuzzed up clothes and built forts. No lie.  I had been living in the same two pairs of jeans and 5 shirts off my bedroom floor (closet #2 😂). First things first, all the T shirts from OLD JOBS were the first to get put in donation pile. I don't need memories of "that place" and they were all too small, waaay too large or tan/beige/grey ..all the wrong unhappy colors that just say JOB when you look at them. Bye! So that happened yesterday. Major project that still needs work but for now it is peaceful enough to my brain to leave it alone. I have two large loads of laundry to do because my clothes look like...well like a cat has been sleep...
