Weekend rebound
Hola galeras,
This week was not great but it ended amazingly. I’m struggling with these paints. They are fine but I’m not coming at them 100%.
I feel like I’m working on thing painting to just get the energy out.
I got another rejection letter from a gallery. Two times this year, at least this one didn’t leave an insulting comment. It’s fine, the next one will be the markets. I’m always a favorite at the markets.
I guess even your favorite artist gets humbled a few times a year.
On to the next one.
Just gotta sit by the fire for the rest of the night.
Tchau, painter out,

The 747
Hola galeras,
I’m bringing back an old favorite of mine. A news letter check in. I’m calling it the 747. It’s named after my daughter’s birthday.
So I’m doing ok. I’ve been working on a lot of art and projects and business collaborations with http://Trampt.com. I will be selling prints and paintings. Some new and some older.
Im excited but nervous because I haven’t had the best track record with outside companies but they are good people so its a leap of faith. The prints are limited to a week each. I really hope I sell a few. It would be nice.
The family is doing really well. Alec is starting her voice acting classes. She is very excited and will no doubt be amazing. She is a little nervous but that’s normal with new things.
We have been frequently visiting a little Japanese arcade in Rockville, Md. Alec is really good at it and I mostly suck at it. We give all our prizes to Tom.
He sits in them like a mobile. It’s very cute. Mochi has no enthusiasm about them at all. Her world is very personal and loud some times. Her favorite things are Tom’s sleep spots and then the night fight club starts. Fun sleep times.
The new spot is nice. I got the house a fire pit. It’s peaceful and often quiet.
Growing up in NC has made a good fire pit part of my culture.
Mostly all is well. I hope you are having a good time this Summer and the heat is not hell.
Talk to you later ,

Painter’s vlog
Hola galeras,
How goes it? What’s new? I am trying to finish this painting but it is flexing my creativity. In a such a good way. Sometimes you have to just let it flow.
Art can become an animal in the wild if you are willing to take a chance.
Happy Monday
Hola galeras,
Hope your week starts well and ends amazing.
It’s a nice start and going to be great.
Sunday fun day
Hola galeras,
Ever since I got that rejection letter, it’s just been sticking in my mind, and like digging in my craw, and like ruined in a lot of stuff for me, so I talked to some friends. We are great artist, and they told me “just let it go move on man and happens all the time to all of us.” It’s not important. What’s not for one person doesn’t mean anything , find the the right people. It’s back on the horse.
I do love this painting again for a minute.
So, how is your weekend going?
Weekend roundabout thing
Hola galeras,
It had been a time. I didn’t get the gallery show this week. I’m not happy about it but I promise to be honest with you. I feel like I’m a bad fit for most galleries these days. They are going back to respectability politics and I don’t want to be a part of that. I want to always be the artist that fights for justice and is proud of his black and brown roots. That’s not for everyone and that is their problem not mine. To all the wonderful people out there who have bought my art, thank you. The rest of you will find something you can’t live with out from me and put up in your house at some point. I’ve been to the future and seen it.
So this week in shorts…
I’ve been working on my writing too. I think I want more of it in my books.
Also remember
Painter out,
