Always making
I’m some where in this painting around 8%. I normally only show these to my Patreons
.
I have so much to do with this one.
Someone asked me what I was “afraid of “ once and after a decade of contemplating I can say “losing my memory”. It has things it that are just for me; the powerful stuff, the silly and the sad. Each pull me up from my grave and pull me to painting all night long.
I really hope for a ceasefire soon by the by.

I finally named this one.
My art often gets made, shown off and then put away with a few hundred other paintings. I’m trying to rediscover my old paintings and tell little stories about them.
This painting is about my Abuelos. They were both car lovers. One worked on cars a it and the other loved driving them. I was thinking about them a lot last year. They both pasted away a long time ago. Their memories lived in my thoughts a lot.
It might be one of my favorite paintings I have done in a while.
Tools, get it?
So as a painter, my big tools are not those but these.
I say over and over again “clean your tools” to myself at myself. I work with ink and paint and to be honest the ink destroys a lot of my brushes but I still love it.
They are my little babies and I should treat them to a pleasant wash from time to time. It’s a charming moment of the looking glass.
Honestly save your good brushes by washing them less but when I do wash them, do it well.
I have an issue of using half a soap each time I wash all my brushes. They seem to enjoy it.
The main point of all of this is that the big step in being a professional painter is wash your brushes but not to much.
Painter out,

I’ve been getting a lot of messages about this book, so I’m going to break it all down. Little by little in six videos.

A nice end to the day.
Eat a cookie for me.
Coming soon
Hola Galeras,
So I did have a show this morning. It didn’t save for some reason. It’s ok. I got a new coffee maker. I love him.
I think the funniest part of being a West Indian Afro Latino man is all the ways we celebrate cultures. We have a lot of Asian traditions. This is one of them. South America is a huge mixing pot. Ever since I was a kid we celebrated Chinese New Year with my cousins from China. That one day got me into iron teapots and lose tea leaves.
I feel this deep connections to my culture in the simple traditions. Somos todos uma pessoa. (We are all one person.)
Tchau,
Jaws
