Weekend round up

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.

https://peoplesartist.org/2026/jawara-blake

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.

Vote for me

Hola Galeras,

I dreamed about this contest last night. I imagined being Friday with her Blue studio house. It was her oasis to make so much art. I really want that. I need long walls and tarps to hang on the walls. I dream of these huge paintings for shows. So big you never forget them.

I feel strange begging for votes but if or when I win this it could change my life. I have so many art projects that I could do with this prize money.

Your vote could get me there. I feel like I’m so close to winning this. Please vote for me once a day.

Thanks,

Jaws

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
