Starting the week

Hola Galeras,

Last week before the end of my 43s. I see a vast ocean of time and a man in a boat pushing back to water out. I’m honestly not sure how to feel about any of it. 43 was a lot, but not all bad. Good moments live in me too. I am free of so many things now. The weight of the condo is gone. Out one window into another.

Weekend round up

Hola Galeras,

Such a long two days. I don’t know why it felt so heavy. Maybe I flew high above the clouds into the sun? Either way, it’s over, and I can rest up a bit. I have so many plans this week.

I wish to cut a lot of sheets of paper for my backstock. I have a huge roll I cut them from. It feels better cutting my own sizes, but also it’s so very much cheaper. I’m trying to focus on making my life easier for myself this year. Not always waiting until the moment and just acting. The blackholes seem to be strinking in my path.

Each week, I just want to connect with all of you. An alligator sitting in a coin pond, smiling at the wishers making wishes.

A home for crows

I feel like this painting just came together. I saw it in my head and it just came into being.

It’s the story of lovers and resting.

Vlog day

Hola Galeras,

The week is beginning and so I have things to do. It’s about to be Alec’s birthday , all is ready. I have so more art in the works. The day is going to be easy because I have seen it in the future.

Was to walk into moments and see the stars. In all the faint and subtle.

Weekend Round up

Hola Galeras,

I have had a beautiful week. Not quite perfect but ok…cute even. How are you?

This week I worked on the big painting and mostly powered threw the week. My hope is as the last few weeks on my 43 I hope to make something amazing for myself.

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

24 shots

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.
