Always making
Somewhere in the middle of it.

Working on it but wanted to share.

Hola Galeras,
So much being made. I love the way this is coming together.

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,

I desperately need more votes or I’m going to be eliminated from the grant contest. Time to show up in a huge wave.
25k is a huge prize.

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,
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”.
