Mad at Work, I tell you!

OK, I'm going to really work at this blog. With everything going on lately this has been suffering. I'm sorry! I have some great things happening... Here goes! Firstly, I was contacted by a local recording studio that wants to sponsor an art event and then wants to regularly have art related evening at his business. I am also filling a large part of the public area with art from many local arts. It is great publicity, as they are going to be having frequent interviews on TV. The art will be there as well. Next, I had a couple of meetings with Alex from Town Square Magazine and we are planning 2 more Deep Culture events, 1 art event in Expo Park, and 1 big High End Art Expo at Thanksgiving Square downtown. That is 4 art events, not counting the art show that Absolute Studios want me to do. There will be a lot of great opportunities with these shows.

I have been checking out some locals in LA for art contacts and places to live. I'm heading out there next month to look some more. I want to find similar galleries, art events, and people in LA that I have been so blessed to have found here. Anyone know any art people in LA, let me know. I would be grateful.

I almost forgot, I have mostly finished my book. Just a few more small details and I will be printing the first 2 copies of it to get a publisher. It will be so helpful to working artists. I need it now ;-) I'm going into the studio this week. I have 5 pieces I am starting and 2 more not too far behind. Busy, busy...the way I like it. As for the blog consistency, my goal is to at least blog 2-3 times a week.

I can't believe I forgot, Studio Fling is having a gallery party this Saturday July 12. It is called Planet Fling. There will be art, poetry, music, and short films. It poses to be a fantastic evening. If you are local, stop on by! CIAO

Deep Culture Event Saturday June 28th!

Sorry for the lack of posts lately, but I've been busy getting ready for Deep Culture. All Dallas people come by and enjoy a great art and fun filled evening!! I've been hard at work getting this ready. I've been crazy gathering a wonderful selection of fantastic unique artist and am very excited about the evening. I'll be posting a slide show of the event once I figure out how that works!!
On an even bigger note, I'm doing a show at Kettle Art. We are getting together tomorrow to schedule the time. My show will run for a month and will be a collection of many new pieces. As soon as I know the dates, I will be posting them here. I am working on 5 new pieces and finishing one for this weekends Deep Culture event. Check this one out... I received an email yesterday from a gentleman from Absolute Studios wanting to sponsor and art show for me. He said he saw one of the other shows I was doing and it looks exciting. I'm so stoked! I meet with him next week to go over everything. Many new things coming up. I'll keep ya posted!! Back to painting...ciao

And so the week begins!

The gallery opening Saturday went very well. It was consistently busy all evening. The eco- friendly vendors were great. I spoke with one of the other artists, he suggested I go speak with Frank at Kettle Art. It is another gallery in Deep Ellum. The owners also own a really high end gallery on Dragon Street. I'm going to speak with Frank this week. My friends, Jesse, Jeff, and Gene came by to check it out. They ended up staying till almost closing. They left and met the at the twisted root and we went out for drinks.

Great News! The exact spot at Studio Fling opened up and I will be moving my art this week. It is a more open space with more lighting. It's great for the big art! My eco-friendly piece turned out perfect. It looks great! I'll have pics on my website soon enough!!

This week is book week. I am working on my book idea for artists. It will be a wonderful addition to any artist's tools. I'll keep you posted! Have an inspiring week. ciao
