Well my friends it's been a crazy run since solo exhibition "BEYONDER" ! I've come realize WE ARTists neglect ourselves due to our passion and obsession. So, if you fins yourself doing this more than often, STOP IT NOW! WE work hard, but smART, ok?! I just saying, I thought this was a lifetime achievement, if so let's act like it!
Now that I have grind the ax, let me say I was one of those folks I was just talking about, Lol! Yeah, I know, but I usually speak from personal experience. My week really got started with completing Cover art for Zoomo, who is a Beat artists hailing from North Carolina, then a Big group exhibition titled " 5 years 5 artists". This exhibition is featured at Frame of Mind on Main St. in the Soda city. Frame of Mind has been pivotal in revitalizing the downtown area on Columbia, so I was excited to be a part of this show! I give Propers to Mark and Wendy Plessinger, who are the owners of Frame of Mind, for pushing the New contemporary art scene to the forefront. I have to tell you that was just Thursday, on Friday I did a Live painting during "Stripped down" at Conundrum music hall. "Stripped down" is a show Augusta, Ga based singer/songwriter Fayth Hope has being touring the Southeast with in preparation for her mini tour in London. Fayth's style is soul, funk, hip hop, if I had to describe it or just DOPE for short! I left there late because she and her band set it off , I was vibing! Lol, I got only 4 hrs of sleep, which wouldn't have been bad but I had an extremely long day ahead of me! I woke up at the Ass crack of Saturday to do a commission on the streets for Cirque Du Soleil. All I can say is DAYUM it was mad cold too! I whined a bit before I got started, but the truth is I always whine, gripe and biotch before I get started with any art. I have a process as all artists do! I did however have assistance in the form of Sherry Warren and Kirill Simin, of Pocket productions, they were my liaisons for this project. I told I could do it in 4hrs, but quickly overstood I was in for an all day event, and yes a long day it was, no doubt! I did enjoy all the conversations I had with people as I was painting on the sidewalk. I love to see how Art transforms an area and engages people as they come in contact with it, WE ARTists have a wonderful life! I had to inform incase you're unaware. I had a blast, but balance is what I will be attempting to achieve! Gratitude for giving my blog your eyes, continue to ride with me, I guarantee it will be interesting my friends!...
Big ups to my sister from another mister Carlleena Person, sis I'm repping the to the fullest! I miss you..
