Always making
Hola Galeras,
Enjoy this week’s playlist.
A long time ago, I learned all you can be is all that you are and I feel like music often sometimes touches you in those places and pushes you in those direction they work with painting they work with life skills. They work with anything and everything they can you just have to live forward and in my case, make a lot of ink..
Hola Galeras,
And so the week starts again. All the little plans coming together.
I love a good ink wash. It changes the feel of a painting. White backgrounds work but a wash makes it more a full painting some feel. I like how it’s unpredictable but controlled randomness. I like how it goes. Darker but the colors still pop.
Hola Galeras,
A beautiful video worth the wait. A lot of love went into this one.
A nice explanation of the painting too.
A beautiful journey.
Hola Galeras,
I hope you are all well. Today for some people is very special. It’s in memory of family members and loved ones who served in the military at some point in time. I feel like I have a complicated history with this so it’s interesting to me to see how I end up feeling about it.
When my grandfather served, there was a draft and he was a black man in World War II much like many people he did not enjoy it. He had no great stories just horrible things that he saw and he came back to a country that wasn’t particularly nice to me though so today I think about him and his life.
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

Hola galeras,
Hope you ate well yesterday be had a chill time with all your fingers. Not a big fan of the 4th but a day off and grilled for is a plus.
Made a few videos this week. Enjoy!
The day ended with a bonfire with my family. It was nice. Have a good weekend Galeras.
Be kind.

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.
Hola galeras,
Hope you can join me for my show. It starts in at 11 am.
