i have been an artist all my life and making art is my theme song.

Art Hop 2016

This week end I was in an art festival called Art Hop. It was my second year doing it. I met a lot of cool people and ran into a lot of talented friends. It was funny. Art festivals are often lame if the crowds are small but this crowd was so happy to be there and talk to me I loved it.  I did a few paintings at the show to keep myself entertained and so the monsters live. :) 

Just want to say thank you to everyone who came out and all the great people who meant to come out.  

Being an artist in 2016 by Jaws Blake

at my best I am a dreamer who recreates what I see behind my eyes without noticing what a gift that is.

I'm coming back to Youtube. I miss it..even if I will end up in the same events as before....craziness. I don't know; I enjoy posting my videos on Youtube so either way I should just go for it.

I had this fear I was maybe too old to do well on Youtube but as I looked around YB I noticed I'm kind of average age. It's silly. I hope you all check out my new video when it comes out tonight.

I have never done a video like this before so I figured it was a popular topic so why not?

I fill up sketch books like crazy so a sketchbook tour video was easy enough.

Sometimes making is pulling all of myself apart to find my edges.

"My favorite sweater" she said.

I had a lot of fun making this painting.

all the colors

the making is in the dreams of  my imaginary brain

Making is my favorite. I'm in love and have always been with making. The moments slip away in brush strokes.

being is doing and ...blah..blah..blah

This is the first time I made background music for my own video using Garage Band. I like it because it adds to the art nicely.

Wishing well

I remember I was a bartender back in the early 2000's and we would find out mid shift we were working until 7 AM sometimes. It was fun but super hard. For all the partying we did the drive home was so exhausting. I remember being so afraid as I tried not to fall asleep at the wheel as my ride home was 30 minutes of silence. My pickup truck I drove was  ever green and had a radio that didn't work. It was just me the wind and my tired eyes. One time I was so tired I stopped in a gas station for coffee and as I am to do in life daydreamed about painting. It was an awful but perfect job because I only worked three days a week. I went a little painter crazy all alone for 4 days in a studio. 

Winter in Paris

I'm working on editing my prints for sale. I think this new one looks really good. I'll be doing so many more as the months go by. On a main note I really enjoyed how this one turned out. I'll still sell original paintings also. It feels amazing and strange to have requests for my paintings.  New year new  sleepless creativity.

So happy with how this one turned out. 

She feels like a goddess
