This is very exciting! I have been busy as always making. Running around taking pictures of everything.  Bits of my book, trains and the city I live in.

Making in Police states is hard, to be honest. Everything wants to pull you out of focus. We have so many great artists farmed from poverty but the rich are celebrated. You have to believe that your work will reach the world via none wealthy pathways.

To all my little painters out there, just know the world is waiting for you beautiful, imaginative artworks. I see you.

Thanks,
Jaws

I the mist of making

I really wanted to make something new last night. I have so much I would like to do with it.

A BlueJay in a murder​

Went on a trip. The beach was beautiful as all beaches are. Met great people and hung with great friends.

Jumping rope in teams, never my main source of being. Finding paths in the rain alone mostly my way. One finger holding on to Alec’s raincoat a lighthouse.

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’m imaginary

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.

 

 

 

Tudo o que sei é que tenho que fazer como vejo o mundo.

Painter Files Podcast ep 36

This is known as the Inception episode because I’m 36 and it’s 36.

The artist I spoke of is Kerry James Marshall.

He is amazing. kerryjamesmarshallyoutubescreenshot.jpg

The 10ft beast is coming along nicely.

I have been playing around with a real design for my ink.IMG_6181

I have to redraw it flat to scan it but I think it will work.
