Always making
The artist making things. The fear and the love for making.


The album is online! Valentine Slim music
I kind of has a Muddy Waters sound. It’s nice. Do me a favor and give it a listen.
I’m some where in this painting around 8%. I normally only show these to my Patreons
.





I have so much to do with this one.
Someone asked me what I was “afraid of “ once and after a decade of contemplating I can say “losing my memory”. It has things it that are just for me; the powerful stuff, the silly and the sad. Each pull me up from my grave and pull me to painting all night long.
I really hope for a ceasefire soon by the by.

Hola Galeras,
Hope you are well.
Another week of art and thoughts on life. A painters work is never done.






















It is a beautiful life. You get to just be in it some times, it’s so rare to be more than just a concept. Snow days give me perspective that I often need.
Health, family and art might be the perfect cake mix for me.






A snow day to be creative and lazy.
I remember when I first moved back up here I would run into the snow. 17 years later, not so much. My bones hurt and I’m cold. I still think it’s beautiful but I don’t want to be wet. Snow is very wet. I’m less fun then I used to be. 😂😂😂
Winter is still magical. I like seeing other people’s snow men.


The journey of this painting is over and I’m happy to feel so full from it. The trip taught me so much and I’m better for it.

I finally named this one.
My art often gets made, shown off and then put away with a few hundred other paintings. I’m trying to rediscover my old paintings and tell little stories about them.
This painting is about my Abuelos. They were both car lovers. One worked on cars a it and the other loved driving them. I was thinking about them a lot last year. They both pasted away a long time ago. Their memories lived in my thoughts a lot.
It might be one of my favorite paintings I have done in a while.
hola Galeras,
I am back and podcasting again. I hope you are doing well. It means the world to me how support you always are. Thank you so much and you are why I do this.
season 5 will be a little different but also similar to season 3. Lots of fun moments and a few new things.
enjoy.


Constant moving forward with ink and paint and madness.
