And so the week starts again. All the little plans coming together.
I love a good ink wash. It changes the feel of a painting. White backgrounds work but a wash makes it more a full painting some feel. I like how it’s unpredictable but controlled randomness. I like how it goes. Darker but the colors still pop.
For those in the know this is the playlist of all my videos for the week.
Hola Galeras,
I have been busy making this week. The 30 day painting is almost done. I don’t know that I will do more of these. I genuinely like to work faster than this. It felt like a longer of love. I truly enjoyed the experience.
I also did a side painting.
Feels so good. I’m not sure what to do with this one. It should be something at some point. Maybe a print?
Wild week. Dad broke his hip yesterday. Madness. Don’t know what to do. Just sitting with him and doing some sketches. Trying to keep up with prints and artworks.
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.
