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

Hola Galeras,

Life is living. Busy times to do things and meet new wonderful people. My hope is to continue to have freer weeks ahead.

Always making

Hola Galeras,

Hope all is well. Busy week, mostly, but it didn’t feel as busy. I stuck to the plan and worked on the painting.

It did a bit of painting. I hope you enjoy.

It was such a good weekend. I just want you to take it in and have fun with this one.

Weekend round up

Hola Galeras,

The week is over. It’s a nice feeling. I made art all week, and Mochi’s health went up and down. It’s up right now. I’m taking it in strides.

The painting feels like it’s pulling me with ideas. I’m saying yes to all the burning ideas. A lot of color splashes and fun line work.

Arte vlog

Hola Galeras,

The week starts big. Huge even. The thing I imagine is that the week is going to go well. Mochi is feeling better. She is not in perfect health, but neither am I. We are the same that way.

The art is coming along. I like the way the details are coming. I’m used to banging these out fast, so this is hard for me.

More into the wild.

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.
