Always making
Hola galeras, I did a few things this week.
I found out I can do lives now from my Patreon. This should be fun.

Still working on the painting.
Also the big video of the week.
Enjoy and subscribe to my YouTube channel. And Patreon. I have a few free trials for Patreon if you would like to go.
Later,
Also some stickers.
Hola galeras,
This painting, I feel is becoming perfect.
Enjoy and I think I’ll sell it soon.
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,

Hola galeras,
What a crazy weekend.
Si I did a live once the power came back on after three days in the dark. Wild times.
Full story
I think I just need to travel and do murals all over the place.
Hola Galeras,
I’ve been busy painting. Here are a few shorts to watch.
Worked on some book club readings
It has been a wild week but I got my car back. So that is great. My last rain ride of the week gave me a present of an empty car.
I think even with the car I might take the train a few days a week. Just feels good.
Be kind to yourselves Galeras.
Ps
I did a new film roll too.
Hola Galeras,
I feel this needed to be said. I’m putting the breakfast show on hold for a bit. My Mondays have been all over the place. Soon it will calm down and I’ll be back at it. I’m working on a new painting always.
Here is a few photos that I will always post on my Patreon.
Enjoy
Hola galeras,
Mochi says “hi”.
I’m going to see my Dad today but I wanted to give you the week end roundup.
A nice live show.
Working on the fine details shorts.
The hearts called out to me.
I’ve had a hard time in the last few years sharing my paintings online. I do it with my Patrons but I don’t feel like I owe it to the internet anymore. I love showing people in real life. Gotta do more shows.
Here is an abstract satiate.
Next week we do it again.
Cradling Life
Intro.
The first few months of life are a critical period of growth, development, and bonding for newborns and their families. However, for Black babies and their families, this period can be fraught with unique challenges and disparities. Systemic racism, socioeconomic factors, and inadequate access to healthcare can all impact the health and well-being of Black babies. Postnatal support for Black babies and their families address these disparities.
The Alarming Reality:
Black infants are disproportionately affected by poor birth outcomes, including higher rates of:
These disparities are not solely the result of individual choices or behaviors, but rather are influenced by systemic factors such as:
The Importance of Postnatal Support:
Postnatal support is critical for ensuring the health and well-being of newborns and their families. This support can include:
For Black families, postnatal support can be particularly vital in addressing the unique challenges they face. By providing targeted support and resources, we can help mitigate the effects of systemic racism and promote better health outcomes for Black babies.
Addressing Disparities:
To address the disparities in postnatal support for Black babies and their families, we must take a multifaceted approach. This includes:
Conclusion:
The first few months of life are a critical period of growth and development for newborns and their families. For Black babies and their families, this period can be marked by unique challenges and disparities. By providing targeted postnatal support and addressing systemic disparities, we can promote better health outcomes for Black babies and support the well-being of their families. It’s time for us to cradle life and ensure that all families have the support they need to thrive.
I read a few articles and had spellcheck jazz it up.
The point of this painting for me is that I want to see the next generations enjoy my art of themselves. Something has to give.
Hola Galeras,
I’ve got a new art vlog out today. Hope you all enjoy it. I’ve been working on this commission pretty steadily for about a month now and I feel really good about it. I honestly do. I think a lot of great art takes time and you have to be kind of willing to figure out how much and what type of time that needs.
I am enjoying all the snow. It’s like a forced moment of relaxation.
