Back and alive

Tuesday’s Vlog

I feel better today than I did the days before. I feel beat up from being sick all the time. I see all my generation in the hospital these days and it’s scary. We got old and some how 43 is middle aged? Weird revelation but oh well. Lots to do before I go. Art legends to win over. I will be keeping the site because it’s mine and I have no telling me how to do for artist expression and that is the most important thing. To be free to make. More art to come soon.

My stickers are all back in stock

You demanded them back so now you got them for the new year!

Hola Galeras,

I really love painting. You should know that about me by now. I love painting with ink and documenting it. So many photos. Love is an ink brush with a full canvas.

I do these every week for my Patreons. Think about joining.

Hola Galeras,

Happy Tuesday! I’m getting older this year like the rest of you. I keep trying to figure out what I want to be doing in 2026. I definitely want to travel with Alec and the cats. Nothing crazy but not just sitting in the same spot and working none stop. I have some shows to do but I want to meet people from new places and make art there. So I’m going to work towards that this year.

I can’t surround myself with negative people anymore. They are harmful.

Check in

Hola Galeras,

This week I plan to do a lot of things.

• Plan the book out

• shoot and edit videos

• work on Patreon extras

I think mostly I’m in my own head about starting to finish the book. I’m still not sure what has stopped me from just putting it out.

A LA artist I’m enjoying recently with the company I’m working with for merch. https://www.trampt.com/artist/dieabaddie-_w_Wn3guB0AMlP

I’m getting back into stationary this year and I get most of my stuff from these guys. https://bungu.store/.

Q and a

How do significant life events or the passage of time influence your perspective on life?

Hola Galeras,

I feel like as time goes by I realize I took myself to seriously or not enough. Health things have opened up my perspective. I value the murals and the mistakes from them. They kind of raised me into this guy. No one told me so much to “do this” or “ don’t do that”. Learned through watching others and helped me a lot. I look back at all the art shows as a continuation of art school. I feel better as an artist living beyond those sometimes painful moments. I wish I could have skipped some of them but they helped raise me. Now I read the notes of others and try to learn. Learning has become more my goal than sometimes doing an act.

There is a zen to it in some ways.

My hope is I am the next artists lessons.

New painting!!!

Hola Galeras,

I was sick for way too long. So I had to get back to painting. First one of the year.

I think I might be done or maybe not. What do you think?
