Learning and making

Finding my self at a crossroads, where I need to sell more art and yet I feel madly self-conscious about asking for sales. I know It’s a part of being existing but still, I feel awkward.

The young crow sits and yells for meals. They have no shame of anger. They have nothing but drive. I need to become the crow again. Make and do nonstop for the November show.

So if you love my work, pick up a shirt, print, bag, or even become a collector of original art.

I also accept tips.

I’m fine and making deeply again.

So much muchness is on the way.

The hell with not being real. Art has this heart to it and if you can’t hear the heartbeat then I will see you on the other side. Paint requires me and inks but not those who can’t feel the strokes. Too long ago I stopped hearing the sound. I was deaf to my hands and canvas. It calls for all these colors and forms and now I hear the ringing and I’m going into the studio to bathe in it. Freedom is blinding and scary but if the shark gets me then I died doing what I love. To the anger … I can swim forever, can you?

busy making with painters tape.

I love doing these because they are so much fun and you never know how they will turn out.

I had this problem a few years back, I was in the middle of an amazing season of painting. I made around 300 little paintings a year and everyone loved it but a few people who had to tell me. Sadly I listened and it slowed me down. I changed my subjects a few times trying to find the same synergy and it has come back to me but I had this epiphany that I should just make as I do and stop listening to my outdoor demons.

I ‘m Jãws Blake and I paint for freedoms of the mind. I love the rest of you.

Hmmm…

Dear Universe,

I would love to paint a wall that isn’t mine with some of my illustrations. I would love to have my work in magazines and newspapers. I don’t know how to get these up so I’m asking for help. I paint these beautiful illustrations people love and I feel if more people saw them I would be a famous artist. I sit on this edge of a pin and if the wind blows right I can fly.

anyone looking for a mural or even wanted to buy my art I can be reached via this guy.

Ocean of papers

The culture of paper is madness. I am a painter as you know. So much of who I am is a lover of paper. I remember in art school feelings almost a sexual attraction to huge canvases. Now I didn’t fuck canvases but I felt my blood excited and I would be on fire with creativity until 4 Am three days later. Those were the days of no sleep paintings. I love the madness.

My cool girl gang got featured in The Washington Post. We have a rich style and love being Afro-Futurist. It’s really funny because we don’t make music but we come off as a band. A painter, a writer, a master of social media and a giant in knowledge beyond normal humans. They inspire me to look deeper. I am grateful for them. Casey, Lisa, and Alec are the best. All on journeys all creating change. https://www.washingtonpost.com/video/c/embed/e59b11de-133c-11e8-a68c-e9374188170e
