Little details with Jaws Blake

nice night to paint...jus tcool enough.

Old thoughts

I worry some times I might be hated for my choice of paintings. That in this guy who paints things that people find awful and even though I should care I would. I think painters are a lot more fragile then people think. I remember in art school wanting to die a lot. In the search for your  style of painting you feel hopeless.

Friday

The little pads i grabbed are failing me. I just I guess really want to do big work for a while in acrylic.  I guess I'll use them for sketching out big paints for a while. 

Today

They are doing construction in front of my studio window. I think I'm going to need to hook up my speakers. I can't work like this in the mornings. I have never been amazing in the mornings.

I have finally started yet again to write my KODF book. I feel if I write it all out it will be easier to draw out of comic boards . 

Today

Also I'm working on some new art. I haven't had the energy to start anything recently. I was very hungover on Sunday. But  feeling a lot better now minus my cat is sick. Hoping for the best. 

Goose

So I'm at the emergency care with Alec for our cat who has not peed in a day. I really just hope she is going to be ok. I hate being so helpless. She is this little fuzzy monster who bites me. It is one of my favorite parts of my day when we wrestle. She is walking around on my desk and sitting in my chair like nothing is wrong because cats are cats.  I just want her to be ok.

I have found a love in making things for people's birthdays.

I want to set goals for myself this year but I don't want to over do it. It's great to be on a steady hustle but it is possible to set your self up for failures. I still like to swing for the fences either way but I'm trying to nicer to myself this year. I know I will not be able to do 200 things at once but if I try I can do a few at least with a new found drive. Quality is my main focus this year.

I want to be better thing year. So I grabbed a bunch of new acrylics. It is honestly feeling really good to be back in my element. I ran for so long I forgot what it was like to swim.  

I really want to illustrate this book this year. I just need to stop everything else in doing and just storyboard everything. 

el pintor is making

I feel really good right now i just finished my newest painting. I'm not really naming them at this point. I don't need them to have a name. She is this beautiful person i created with great red hair. I love how it flows. It feels honest and strong and wavy. I know some people will not love the arms but I don't make art anymore for other people. I hope people love it but I feel like I need to love it more. It is my heart and my heart needs the love. It is what I will one day leave to the world...love and paint baby ..love and paint.

Blankets of crows

    I took a break for a week. But now I'm back. Art is love and I love art. I hope by sharing these videos brings us closer to my creativity.

her and him

Some one told me they "loved my new series". I wasn't sure what to say other then "thanks". I'm just painting. If it changes from one to the other it's that day. I'm glad for the complement but I heard from that, "but I hated that other ones you have been doing." I know that's just me. It's that voice in my head trying to make me act reactionary rather then just being happy one one likes what I last made.

Here in that same vain is more work I just did. I do really love it.

sunday

It has been a full week.

I sold two paintings to two wonderful people. I never thought I would sell those. I wasn't sure they were as good to other people as they were to me. I was wrong. I can honestly say I enjoy being wrong. There is so much more to learn from being wrong.

I'm now working on a piece in the same vein as the two I sold. I feel really good about this one. It feels strong and beautiful to me.
