Hola Galeras,
How goes it on your end?
Good.
Here is my collection of videos this week in painting.
I’m in love with this painting.
Also I need all of you to vote for me so I can win this 25k grant.

I have so many great plans to use that money for. I want to donate some murals to a few public spots and train some young artists. I want to build out my new studio and make it fancy and get some new tech.
I really think I can win this if all of you vote for me.

Also happy birthday mom!

She bought me my first paintings 40 years ago. Setup my first corner studio and easel.

Hola Galeras,
I dreamed about this contest last night. I imagined being Friday with her Blue studio house. It was her oasis to make so much art. I really want that. I need long walls and tarps to hang on the walls. I dream of these huge paintings for shows. So big you never forget them.

I feel strange begging for votes but if or when I win this it could change my life. I have so many art projects that I could do with this prize money.

Your vote could get me there. I feel like I’m so close to winning this. Please vote for me once a day.
Thanks,
Jaws

Hola Galeras,
I’ve been wanting to get back to my old video style for some time with my cameras. I feel good about this style. Makes me happy.


Hola Galeras,
I hope you are all well. Today for some people is very special. It’s in memory of family members and loved ones who served in the military at some point in time. I feel like I have a complicated history with this so it’s interesting to me to see how I end up feeling about it.
When my grandfather served, there was a draft and he was a black man in World War II much like many people he did not enjoy it. He had no great stories just horrible things that he saw and he came back to a country that wasn’t particularly nice to me though so today I think about him and his life.


holas galeras,
So the week starts and off we go.
