Well, SF, you floored me. Whenever I start feeling the pressure of being in one of the most expensive cities in the world, I am reminded, yet again, as to why I'm here. The response to my artwork yesterday was absolutely overwhelming. Here's what I accomplished yesterday at Noise Pop's 20th Street Block Party (FREE!): -Huge jump start on advertising my Open Studios event at Pacific Felt Factory arts complex @pacificfeltfactory on October 26th & 27th (11-6). -Sold my original painting "Worship" to a patron of the arts and an SF veteran of 30 years! @tonziland -Finally got a chance to introduce my model Jewelz to her doppelganger in "The Garden of Goodbye" -Sold SO MANY prints to new collectors -Made some progress (albeit, very little) on my David Bowie commission -Had some great conversation. Whatever you're doing with your weekend, I hope it's been full of creativity and fun!

Currently taking on commissions to help make some extra money, and create something cool for you in the process! If you want something custom and not sure exactly how to go about it, just email me! The first step is to discuss your idea, and we'll go from there! Please share with anyone you think might want an original from me! Totally affordable, and how cool is it to have a piece specifically made for you, or a gift for a loved one (while simultaneously helping a living artist sustain a living?)?

The remnants of your regrets and mine. Thank you to everyone who participated, tuned in, sent thank you messages and emails, attended the opening, attended the artist talk, commented, etc. etc. I was emotionally exhausted after the live stream and had to take a bit of a breather. Extra thanks to Shahasp and Scott who lent me their amazing urn and backyard to stream from. Great friends, great people. For those of you who missed the live stream of the Death of Regret Ceremony, I'll figure out how to get it from FB to my IG. Or visit my personal FB page to view it. If you have absolutely no idea what I'm even talking about, listen to Episode 49 here: www.drawingfromexperience.com #regrets #noregrets #deathofregret #fireritual #gardenofgoodbye #fire #ritual #darkart #darkartsociety #livestream #podcasting #podcast #gratitude #professionalartist
