Conversations with artists

Hola Galeras,

I’m trying a new tool in my art box. I want to include you in the discussion.

I’ve been an artist for a very long time. I want to help newer artists with questions. When I was younger I always wanted help with the little steps so I want to be that guy now.

I feel like a lot of help was given out that day. We are starting an irl group called the Sletchbook club. It’s fun to just sit around with artists and shoot the shit, and draw.

Naturally there has been push back. It feels so easy to say “but this”, when you are starting out. I had every reason at one point on why I didn’t have an art book out. It came down to fear of failure and cost. You have to let go and make art. See if it feels good and roll with it.

More to come.

Weekend roundup

Hola Galeras,

When I was young, I wanted to be a vampire and then a video fighter character. As you can imagine, I’m retired now from both.

Every moment feels big looking back from this week. Mochi got better and sicker and better, maybe. I listened to my voices and started painting the snake woman. Tom got jealous of Mochi’s new food, so we gave him a little snack, and he is addicted now to liver worse. I have kept up with being positive forcefully, and yes, it is hard.

I have so much to paint on this one, but I’m planning on making it for the whole month of April.

I keep playing with the idea of playing Hollow Knight, but hard games ruin my calm. I don’t want that feeling.

Art Vlog

Hola galeras,

So this week is going to be a long one. Mochi has another vet visit on Friday. A lot of meds, but no more home shots. Which was a thing for two days. I feel good about the start of the painting. So that’s a fun thing to look forward to. I’ve been posting a lot on Patreon.

Hola Galeras,

So this week is nuts. Mochi is sick and I’m tired. We dropped her off at the vet because she has kidney problems. We should get her back home tonight or tomorrow.

Sorry this post is late. My site has been giving me troubles.

I’ll have more information later.

I finished the painting also last night.

Wednesday Walk

Hola Galeras,

The walk was nice. I went to the park and collected my thoughts from a recent meeting. Mostly, we talked about art school and if it was worth it. I didn’t feel like I needed it so much, but I did learn a lot from my new friends. So it’s a mixed bag of sorts.

Starting the week

Hola Galeras,

Last week before the end of my 43s. I see a vast ocean of time and a man in a boat pushing back to water out. I’m honestly not sure how to feel about any of it. 43 was a lot, but not all bad. Good moments live in me too. I am free of so many things now. The weight of the condo is gone. Out one window into another.

A home for crows

I feel like this painting just came together. I saw it in my head and it just came into being.

It’s the story of lovers and resting.

Vlog day

Hola Galeras,

The week is beginning and so I have things to do. It’s about to be Alec’s birthday , all is ready. I have so more art in the works. The day is going to be easy because I have seen it in the future.

Was to walk into moments and see the stars. In all the faint and subtle.

Weekend Round up

Hola Galeras,

I have had a beautiful week. Not quite perfect but ok…cute even. How are you?

This week I worked on the big painting and mostly powered threw the week. My hope is as the last few weeks on my 43 I hope to make something amazing for myself.
