Weekend rebound

Hola galeras,

This week was not great but it ended amazingly. I’m struggling with these paints. They are fine but I’m not coming at them 100%.

I feel like I’m working on thing painting to just get the energy out.

I got another rejection letter from a gallery. Two times this year, at least this one didn’t leave an insulting comment. It’s fine, the next one will be the markets. I’m always a favorite at the markets.

I guess even your favorite artist gets humbled a few times a year.

On to the next one.

Just gotta sit by the fire for the rest of the night.

Tchau, painter out,

Hola galeras,

Que lo que? (How goes it?) Alec and I went to the movies and it was wonderful. If you have never seen the Blind Swordsman I highly recommend it. Beautiful movie I watched as a child many times.

One of my favorites.

Hola galeras,

How goes it? What’s new? I am trying to finish this painting but it is flexing my creativity. In a such a good way. Sometimes you have to just let it flow.

Art can become an animal in the wild if you are willing to take a chance.

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…
