New Small Originals

The three newest originals, all collected...

A long time ago I had time to work on my larger works and my smaller works too. Smaller works are great because they don't take days or weeks to complete and most people have a small space somewhere that they need a little art for.

My goal is still painting the bigger pieces and getting some art shows going again... While providing small pieces that are affordable still for my collectors and friends.

The icy shut down gave me some time so I sat down to get some painting done. I was liking the direction and feeling inspired, it felt good to do these intuitive pieces again. It feels a lot like PLAY and also like solving a puzzle.

I posted a teaser shot and the messages came rolling in. People wanted them already. Before I could even put them up for sale. I was happy my collector friends were getting some new fresh work for 2023 and also that I was making my rent money happen since the ice killed my work that week.

My people were letting me know they supported me, wanted my work and valued what I did. That's a great feeling!

So this coming week I'll be doing an email update for my friends and collectors so they will know before anyone else when the new pieces will be available. To get on my mailing list, just send over your email to info@tigerbeearts.com

I'll never spam you, promise! This is my way of thanking my best supporters and letting people know directly the info they seek. A more personal way than social media for us to stay in touch. Looking forward to painting for you all this year!

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
