Hola galeras

How goes it?

I had an adventure out in the world to get a new tattoo.

Alec has been drawing me comics as notes for over a decade of her so I got a tattoo of my beautiful bride.

Have a nice day.

Painter out,

Weekend recap

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.

Painter’s life blog

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

A new tattoo of my childhood hero.

Coco Beware was a pro wrestler in the 80’s when I was a little boy. He was one of the first Black wrestlers I ever saw. he was very charismatic and extremely skilled at story telling.

He used to come to the ring with a bird from the Caribbean.

My friends are made up of the cool people you see in the streets with tattoos. One of my cool friends is a tattoo artist at a tattoo shop. He designed a bunch of old wrestling tattoos. I am his first wrestling tattoo this year. It’s simple and a foot note of my childhood.

A world of colores

Always making

There is a time in my life where all I could see was where it’s gone and not where I was going. It wasn’t that I was blind so much. I was just so busy reliving those moments over and over and over again in my soul that I couldn’t , that I couldn’t even be in the present anymore. It was heartbreaking. I’m still not really sure how I kind of ricocheted out of all these things .

I swear to you, I know the reds, blues and yellows, they saved me. Made me whole again. The textures and the patterns in the patchworks moved the stars for me.
