New Show coming up...fast

So I'm part of a show that's coming up fast. The submission deadline is this Friday. I have to submit 3 large paintings, 3 by 4 feet and I've just started today! hahaha.

Leave it to me to work under pressure.

Should I show the progress of the work or just show the final product?

My 2005 Show...WOW!!!

What a night.
I wanted to thank everyone that showed up for my artshow last night. It was awesome!
I and I gallery was such a great place to show my stuff.
There was a chill atmosphere, great music, wine and mid-eastern food.
(By the way, do you know the difference between "food" and "cuisine", about $10)
Anyway, I sold 11 pieces of artwork, and met some really interesting people.
Last night felt like a real art openning, I was great. I saw a couple of people that were disappointed because they had not bought their piece fast enough.
Anyway, thank you so much everyone.

My next show will be on Jan. 13 2006. at Subterranean Books.
I'll keep you posted.
Actually, I'll use Evite to send the invitations. It worked pretty well.

I sold 2 pieces!!!

The Show (Gallery M) was great!Thanks to everyone that showed up, it was a success. Although there was not a lot of people there I still sold 2 pieces: "Persophone"& "Il papa".
The next piece I have is in Artdimension at the Saint Louis Center.The show is Friday July 1st and starts at 7pm.I also have some more pieces at Akachique Gallery.

June will be tricky...

Oh boy! June is going to be tricky. By the way, my birthday is June 9th. Well I have to come up with 20 paintings by the 31th of May for the Hartford Coffee openning (the actual opening will be Sunday June 12th from 1 to 4pm), 5 more for Gallerie M by mid June and I was hoping to have a few pieces more for this thing in Colorado. Kurt lives there and there's this block party where tons of people will be walking the streets and buying stuff.If I get some money, I'm outta here. I'd like to go to Cabanas Copal in Tulum, actually I'd rather go to Azulik which is right next door. It's this wonderful clothing optional, no electric (except in the restaurant and bar), candlelight everywhere and the cabanas are right on the beach. I can't wait!...I guess I can :).

I had a blast!!!

I HAD A BLAST!!! I really had fun last night. I had 2 art openings with my stuff in it and I sold 2 paintings. Great, I can pay my mortgage now. yeah! The opening at "Chique Gallery" was a lot more fun than the one from ArtDimension. It also seemed like the people at Chique where there to buy whereas the people from ARtD seemed to be friends of the numerous artists that displayed there.Either way I had fun and then we went to 609 on Eastgate in the loop to have a hookah and some wine and then we went to a friends house that had a BBQ. We met this lovely Indian girl and talked all night at ArtD, she was fun.

AkaChique opening

Sooooo...what are you doing this Friday the 13th? I have 2 art openings, one in Arnold at Chique Gallery and the other downtown at ArtDimensions' new gallery in the old St.Louis Center.It's going to be fun, fun, fun. I was thinking of renting a costume.

AkaChique Gallery

So I put up some of my paintings in chique gallery. It's a wonderful place in Arnold, yes Arnold! This little place is booming with constructions everywhere. They can't build the houses fast enough.I met with Sue, a wonderful lady that has this gallery that would stand up to any gallery in St. louis. There are 2 levels and a variety of artwork displayed.You should check it out some time.

ARt D. party update

The party last night was awesome!!!Loved it! There was a nude model with paint all over her posing as the many artists in the room were doing sketches of her.The art works were great. Ambience wonderful, free beer, wine and food. A lot of happy people hanging together.Thanks to Katia, Aurelie, Virginie and all other friends that attended. I greatly enjoyed your company.I met some interesting people too. I met 2 girls that actually were in Guadeloupe, and they loved it!Dominique and Virginie dance while everyone watched. I wish I had a digital camcorder this way I could post the clip here.Life is good to me...I'm trully blessed.
If you missed this event, you're not going to want to miss the next one.It's the grand opening of ArtDimensions in the St. Louis Center on May 13, 2005. I 've seen the place and it looks great! Art everywhere and lot's of space plus it's right on Washington Ave.
Well Earthday is around the corner...actually tomorrow. I might play some drums there. I was thinking of doing henna but I don't have any more paste. Do and I will ride ours bikes. I hope it's going to be nice. Last year it was cold and rainny.

Urbis-Orbis

Yeah! I have enough money for my mortgage. I was a bit late, I guess 26 days late. Now I need some more $$$ for the rest of my bills :)What's up with this St. Louis weather? I'm freezing my nuts off!So anyway I went downtown the other day and I met this really cool guy. His name is Alan, he is an artist and I really like his stuff. He owns Urbis-Orbis gallery. You should check it out, I'am on the 1st Friday of May. I think it's the 7th.

Fontbonne University

So I registered for classes today at Fontbonne University . I'm not too happy about taking Math, Science, Government, and all that crap but I'm really happy that I'll be able to take a painting class with Victor Wang. I'm really excited. I'm also done redesigning my website. I wanted to have everything on one page.I'm having a bit of an issue with these art galleries. They are charging 40%. That's crazy. If this is a regular retail mark up then they should buy the work and then charge whatever they want. My dilema is that I'd like to show my stuff in these galleries but it also means that I have to take a pay cut or have the gallery try to sell it at a high price. It also means that I can't sell it online...crap! Too much to think about. Anyone has an idea?Ok enough of that crap.
