Art Plunge

Pretty excited about my upcoming trip to San Francisco and it will be even sweeter because another show has been added into the mix. I'll be in a vinyl art show at a place called Pig and Pie. They are doing a benefit show to raise $ to keep and repair their historic Discolandia sign. Discolandia was the place to buy Latin music in SF for over 35 years so my vinyl record art will spotlight some of my favorite Latin artists too. It's in my blood, I love the music so much. Really happy these will be auctioned off in a silent auction to raise funds to help them. I will actually miss the show by a day but am thrilled to have my vinyl in San Francisco, a place I love. The Celia Cruz Foundation loved this and shared it with their 15k + fans on Instagram this week! I'm super swamped getting everything ready for the record show, the show at the Bedford and my two person show...it's a juggling act right now but I'm used to this game. Really feeling the Cali love...

Benny Hill, when I was a kid I thought he and Ozzy Osbourne were one and the same! Bowie madness continues. Alladin Sane. Ziggy Stardust mania. Record painting every day! My goal is to finish ONE more by tomorrow and....I can do this....just gotta buckle down and not think about all the other things piling up. They will get done. Like surprise graphic design deadlines. People I thought were on vacation coming back and needing things done this week. Shipping out stuff. It will all get done, especially if I run around like a sped up film while the Benny Hill theme music plays. That will make stuff get done a LOT faster and make me laugh too. In fact I think I'm going to put that song into my ipod so when I go running I can laugh my ass off. Getting my hair snipped today! Writing my bio for the Origin magazine feature! Finishing another record and making dreaded phone calls! I hate phone calls. I hate the phone. It's important business and must be done though. I'll be...

Wake up you sleepy head Put on some clothes, shake up your bed Put another log on the fire for me Ive made some breakfast and coffee This has pretty much been my weekend. Starting early in the studio (7:30 am!) and working on THIS, THIS up above for hours without stopping to eat, drink water or even pee. TRUE! If you read my post from yesterday you might have an idea of the hard fought battle this became. Since yesterdays post more mistakes popped up and had to be fixed, such as accidentally scratching the pretty pink painted smoke and having to fix it with another layer of light pink. I let the mistakes dictate the direction of the piece. I decided whatever FATE intended this to look like in the end would be the way I would roll. So...what was just going to be a straight up backlit David Bowie became him standing poised in front of pink smoke and stars. Suddenly it was taking shape and I owe it all to mistakes and errors. You have to see things this way so you don't start h...
