Always making
Hola galeras,
Set an Oregon paying for about month. And I feel really really good about it. I feel like it turned out really beautiful. And I’m excited to share with you. 
It feels really beautiful and I’m excited that it came together the way it did.
Hola Galeras,
How goes it on your end?
Good.
Here is my collection of videos this week in painting.
I’m in love with this painting.
Also I need all of you to vote for me so I can win this 25k grant.

I have so many great plans to use that money for. I want to donate some murals to a few public spots and train some young artists. I want to build out my new studio and make it fancy and get some new tech.
I really think I can win this if all of you vote for me.
Also happy birthday mom!
She bought me my first paintings 40 years ago. Setup my first corner studio and easel.
Hola Galeras,
I’ve been wanting to get back to my old video style for some time with my cameras. I feel good about this style. Makes me happy.
Hola Galeras,
I hope you are all well. Today for some people is very special. It’s in memory of family members and loved ones who served in the military at some point in time. I feel like I have a complicated history with this so it’s interesting to me to see how I end up feeling about it.
When my grandfather served, there was a draft and he was a black man in World War II much like many people he did not enjoy it. He had no great stories just horrible things that he saw and he came back to a country that wasn’t particularly nice to me though so today I think about him and his life.
Hola Galeras,
It was a nice week. I have a rock injure but it should be fine.
Hope you enjoy.
It was a nice time.
Hola Galeras,
If you missed all my videos this week, here you go. Packed nicely in one playlist.
Enjoy

So much going on this week but feeling good.
Jamin out most of the week to Augustus Pablo. A fun dancehall artist from the early years of the West Indies sharing its musics.
“Jamaican producer Augustus Pablo was perhaps the first melodica virtuoso, using the unique instrument to add a mysterious and melancholic vibe to his classic dub tracks. Debuting in the early ’70s, Pablo made his name with a series of classic instrumental albums at a time when reggae was dominated by passionate roots singers. Collaborating with studio wizards like King Tubby and Keith Hudson, Pablo laid down hypnotic grooves that he filled with exotic melodies, an evocative style he called the “Far East sound,” and he continued recording essential dubs until his death in ’99”.

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?
Painter out,
Jaws
