Doing the wash

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,

Painter’s breakfast… coffee late night

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.

Hola Galeras

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
