Hola Galeras,
How are you this week. What did you munch on for breakfast?
I had a coconut curry with rice and guacamole. It was nice.

Q and a
Describe a random encounter with a stranger that stuck out positively to you.
A very long time ago I was in a mall. Many years before COVID we went to malls. I haven’t been to one in forever. Being around lots of people gives me small panic attacks some times. I’m working on it. So at this mall, I see this older handsome big bearded Sikh man and we are both waiting for our wives trying on clothes. We just chatted up and it was just really pleasant. Two brown men joking about bullshit. Very nice day.
For those who are not aware of Sikh people.

This one is a huge part of my career. A gallery manager found me and asked to put on an art show for me. It wasn’t the best show but it was a big step.
Q and a
Describe a decision you made in the past that helped you learn or grow.
The big thing that I worked on myself was my style. I had to learn to love it. I hated it for so long because I wanted to draw and paint like others. The shapes were always wrong and the lines too wide. You have too learn too love your mistakes. I got to the point where I converted them into something beautiful. I’m still working on ignoring hate and love for what I do. Both can be hard stops if I over think about them. Just keep learning about yourself and show love.
Always making
Sometimes the art calls out in the middle of nothingness.
Q and a
Describe a positive thing a family member has done for you.
My cousin (primo) is a huge basketball fan all my life. Most of the men in my family are about a foot taller then me. He could dunk at 13. I am yet to even touch the rim at 5’10. He used to put me on his shoulders and jump at the rim. It was so much fun at age 13. I remember it greatly. It was simple but sticks with me too this day.
