New month, new resolve!

New month and the calendar is popping! Some interesting things have come onto my radar- but since things aren't finalized I'm just going to have to be vague for now. I'm starting to get noticed and found... and fully believe that my mantra of "where you put your efforts is where you'll see your gains" is starting to pay off.

(As for that photo up there-Look how amazing these prints came out! Totally love how vibrant and lush this paper is!)

I've gotten derailed from my small originals project because of WORK, COMMISSIONS and LIFE. So when I say- collect these while they are there- I mean it... There's almost no time to squeeze those in.

Just finished this up for a client who commissioned it for a friend's gift. The sweet orange boy is a dearly departed friend who needed to be memorialized with my brush. Since the recipients have my frog print framed and hanging- I thought it a nice touch to paint this in similar style and scheme to match. It's been awhile since I've done a pet portrait- so fun to get to paint fur again.

Dreaming of when I can get back to my stuff but still have work on my plate to finish. But here are some dates if you wanna see me out and about in the not too distant...

March 26- The Dubliner (I'll be djing alongside Ron Riot for a fun afternoon of punk, reggae, mod, britpop and more! 3-7pm)

April 8- Orr Reed more details TBA (I will be there hawking wood goods, art, prints, etc- super fun market you should not miss!)

Other dates posted soon, we are entering market season and art fair season and BUSY is the word!

See you here or there and will update about my exciting news as it comes through the pipe! 🌞

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...
