Monday check in

Hola galeras,

I hope you had a nice weekend. It was a learning experience for me. I didn’t know how I was in pain witnessing ICE in DC. I have felt for sometime that we were under attack from the government. It honestly hurts worrying about my West Indian family and friends. I walked with Alec to my favorite Rotti shop and it was gone. They moved away in the middle of the night. My heart was broken. I had been to that shop most of my life with my dad. A great loss exists where that taste lives and all the carnival stories converged.

Did my hair and handed out prints for the up and coming show.

I hope everything works out.

The art show is coming

Hola Galeras,

My show is almost here. I have to go to the hardware store today. Got to build some thangs.

Pure panic comics

It will be a fun and beautiful show. I get to hangout with friends and family and show art never publicly seen before. Lots of art big and small to pick up too.

The art show

Hola Galeras,

I’m excited to tell you I have an art show in November 16th. It’ll be from 10am -4 pm at Pure Panic Comics. My good friends own it. It should be a fun day where I show art no one has ever seen outside of my studio.

A time live is a time to make art. Foot prints in time.

I hope as I get closer to the show I can share with you more and you might come and join me there.

How to beat artist block

Hola Galeras,

I think in a lot of ways I’m just trying to kind of figure out the best way to be an artist. Like being super productive is great and all, but if there’s nothing behind it, it doesn’t really matter. So I listened to those voices and had to tell me to put the paint in the in certain places. And when there’s nothing to be heard you go back to what you know your traditions, your cultures, the beauty and the simplicity of patterns and textiles. Looks like breathing you just do..

I got new keychains

They were fun to make.

I only have 7 left. They are selling out fast.

Art vlog

Hola galeras,

How goes it? I hope you are well. I have been making moves and I feel like they are starting to come together.

Also I had some fun keychains made last month and they just came in.

They are 2 inch sized, double sided with gloss.

Finished it up today Galeras. Had a cup of coffee and figured it out.

I like it.

Weekend video time

Hola galeras,

This painting, I feel is becoming perfect.

Enjoy and I think I’ll sell it soon.

Right tight painting

Hola galeras,

I felt this strong energy today to paint and so here we are.

Don’t think I’ll be fighting those Basquiat comparisons with this one. 😂🐦‍⬛

So be it.

Enjoy

Painter out,
