Always making
Hola galeras,
Ever since I got that rejection letter, it’s just been sticking in my mind, and like digging in my craw, and like ruined in a lot of stuff for me, so I talked to some friends. We are great artist, and they told me “just let it go move on man and happens all the time to all of us.” It’s not important. What’s not for one person doesn’t mean anything , find the the right people. It’s back on the horse.
I do love this painting again for a minute.
So, how is your weekend going?
Hola galeras,
It had been a time. I didn’t get the gallery show this week. I’m not happy about it but I promise to be honest with you. I feel like I’m a bad fit for most galleries these days. They are going back to respectability politics and I don’t want to be a part of that. I want to always be the artist that fights for justice and is proud of his black and brown roots. That’s not for everyone and that is their problem not mine. To all the wonderful people out there who have bought my art, thank you. The rest of you will find something you can’t live with out from me and put up in your house at some point. I’ve been to the future and seen it.
So this week in shorts…
I’ve been working on my writing too. I think I want more of it in my books.
Also remember
Painter out,
The inkwash is going well.
Hola galeras,
New tattoo is going well. I’m painting and trying to get into an art shop festival. It’s a nice week.
How goes it?
I had an adventure out in the world to get a new tattoo.
Alec has been drawing me comics as notes for over a decade of her so I got a tattoo of my beautiful bride.
Have a nice day.
Painter out,
Hola galeras,
It was a quick week. Still stressful but fast paced.
Working on the art book aka water color weed book.
I feel like the book is growing but not fast enough for me. Gotta jazz it up.
Tchau galeras,
Be sweet but not too sweet.
Hola galeras,
How goes it? It’s ok. Walking to get my lunch. It’s really beautiful outside.
Hola galeras,
This week as been hard, I’ll be honest with you. The internet has changed this year. People are crueler then they have been in a while. I Ty to stay in a good mindset. Read a lot of books and listen to a lot of music but it gets to me because I’m human. Art is a battlefield of the mind. The most reasonable thing I’ve ever thought of my life has been that no one can be meaner than me, than I’ve been to myself inside of my head about my heart. So, although that does not stop people from there to say mean things, and act certain ways you can’t be worse than me. No one’s gonna do me worst of me. Ironically, I am my most gifted asset, and my most fear in me at the same time. But it’s ok.
We live for the moment, where we prove our disclaimers to be false.
Today, randomly someone told me, I was the worst time to stay over, so and I generally laugh in their face because what criticism can someone uncreative gift to someone who creates entire worlds. I see universes in specs of dust that I create intricate characters with my mind, and you scroll with your thumb and write me comments without showing your face. We are not the same..
Be kind galeras. You shape worlds with gestures.
Later,
Jaws
Hola galeras,
Today was what it was and I make no apologies but I know tomorrow will be better.
How goes it?
What new? I did a later day thing … enjoy and yes that one part was a lot.
I never know how to deal with those people. They don’t think and then … insane moments.
Racism is never not unexpected even when you are on guard. 🤷🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Next time will be better.
