Been too busy for everything. I think I'm going to slowly revamp my website for my own visual liking. I'm getting bored with it. So, yup, let the construction begin.

I haven't had much time to update and or just to poke around with my blog lately. I guess I'm really bad at this. It is just so hard trying to type everything and keep up with the fast-paced internet life. Honestly, I prefer explaining everything in person or having that first-hand experience. I am sure everyone agrees to that. If you don't, then buy me an ice cream sandwich. 

Anyway, it has been a long and busy run for August. Most of my time, I was doing a lot of prep work for my solo show. Not to mention that it was my very first and, I must say, I had a good time. It felt really good talking to people about my work, though, I would have never thought that my work was going to get that much importance. It certainly gave me more motivation to keep making work and its the only thing I know. The show will be up till the end of September at Imperial Fine Arts Gallery/Imperial Performing Arts Theatre.

Here are some photos from the show:

There are so many people to thank for this success! You know who you are! Thank you!!!! Most especially, the people who purchased work --haha! Thank you!

Many things many things. I'm going to back track here. But before all that:

 - The Art Sandwiches have work that is currently displayed at Cafe Brasil. The show is curated by Cody Ledvina of The Joanna. 
- Yeasty 2 is coming out soon. Watch out! We're keeping our fingers crossed about getting Domy to sell them. 
- Group show at the Marriot Hotel in Katy, Texas on September 23.
- The show at Dallas was moved to November. It is organized/curated by Lauren Woods.

I stumbled on this today. It isn't exactly the answer I was expecting.

"...we don’t know how to speak English anymore. The phrase "acting out" means you’re portraying behavior that which you haven’t got the words to say in language. In a game of charades, you have to act out, because you’re not allowed to speak." Dr. Gabor Maté
