Always making
Hola galeras,
Hope you ate well yesterday be had a chill time with all your fingers. Not a big fan of the 4th but a day off and grilled for is a plus.
Made a few videos this week. Enjoy!
The day ended with a bonfire with my family. It was nice. Have a good weekend Galeras.
Be kind.

Hola galeras,
What a crazy weekend.
Si I did a live once the power came back on after three days in the dark. Wild times.
Full story
I think I just need to travel and do murals all over the place.
Hola Galeras,
Today is a very special day. We visit a friend’s sculpture in town. It’s so cool and creative. I hope you enjoy.
Hola Galeras,
I’ve been busy painting. Here are a few shorts to watch.
Worked on some book club readings
It has been a wild week but I got my car back. So that is great. My last rain ride of the week gave me a present of an empty car.
I think even with the car I might take the train a few days a week. Just feels good.
Be kind to yourselves Galeras.
Ps
I did a new film roll too.
Hola Galeras,
How goes it? I’m running around grabbing art back from shows. It’s always a weird feeling because every show I do people ask “where else can I find your work?” In a room or hall full of my art. I normally give my website. I don’t think that’s what people want so I tell them where to find my murals. Beautiful madness.
Trips on trips.
Busy busy bees
Hola Galeras,
I feel this needed to be said. I’m putting the breakfast show on hold for a bit. My Mondays have been all over the place. Soon it will calm down and I’ll be back at it. I’m working on a new painting always.
Here is a few photos that I will always post on my Patreon.
Enjoy
It was a full week Galeras. How goes it?
Made a few meals with my Father in law. It was fun and interesting to learn some new techniques in the kitchen.
The painting is done and all the letters are there. 😂
😉 if you know you know.
Mostly a busy time but it’s starting to calm down.
Cradling Life
Intro.
The first few months of life are a critical period of growth, development, and bonding for newborns and their families. However, for Black babies and their families, this period can be fraught with unique challenges and disparities. Systemic racism, socioeconomic factors, and inadequate access to healthcare can all impact the health and well-being of Black babies. Postnatal support for Black babies and their families address these disparities.
The Alarming Reality:
Black infants are disproportionately affected by poor birth outcomes, including higher rates of:
These disparities are not solely the result of individual choices or behaviors, but rather are influenced by systemic factors such as:
The Importance of Postnatal Support:
Postnatal support is critical for ensuring the health and well-being of newborns and their families. This support can include:
For Black families, postnatal support can be particularly vital in addressing the unique challenges they face. By providing targeted support and resources, we can help mitigate the effects of systemic racism and promote better health outcomes for Black babies.
Addressing Disparities:
To address the disparities in postnatal support for Black babies and their families, we must take a multifaceted approach. This includes:
Conclusion:
The first few months of life are a critical period of growth and development for newborns and their families. For Black babies and their families, this period can be marked by unique challenges and disparities. By providing targeted postnatal support and addressing systemic disparities, we can promote better health outcomes for Black babies and support the well-being of their families. It’s time for us to cradle life and ensure that all families have the support they need to thrive.
I read a few articles and had spellcheck jazz it up.
The point of this painting for me is that I want to see the next generations enjoy my art of themselves. Something has to give.
Hola Galeras,
How goes it? I’m ok. Just doing as I do. I went on this adventure with Alec and her mom back to DC. It’s only like 20 minutes from where we are, but I haven’t seen that part of DC probably in about a year. It just changed so much that had I not known where I was I wouldn’t be able to recognize where I was. But so is life..
I really like that print I made I think it’ll be nice to have it shows and also to put online cause I need to get better at doing my online store. Plus, I know everybody really likes cassette tapes so I think it’ll be fun.
I am thinking about doing another live painting show this Thursday night if you want to join me you’re welcome to.
Hola Galeras,
I’ve got a new art vlog out today. Hope you all enjoy it. I’ve been working on this commission pretty steadily for about a month now and I feel really good about it. I honestly do. I think a lot of great art takes time and you have to be kind of willing to figure out how much and what type of time that needs.
I am enjoying all the snow. It’s like a forced moment of relaxation.
