Hola galeras,
Been a while since I did one of these. Normally I just post art stuff as I’m always busy making art.
So mostly I have been working on a film that I’m trying to record. I’m using my camcorder to record a couple hundred hours of everything that’s going on in my… my world. A lot of our stuff obviously some cats stuff some Maryland things. Maybe a little bit about government. I don’t think it’s gonna go political but it could depending on what’s going on right now. I mostly wanna do kind of like a really long form version of what my art videos are both more depth to them so doesn’t take me a while to edit it but I could be my my first real film that I’ve put together that wasn’t, you know 30 minutes. I hope is that it all kind of flesh is out and comes together really beautifully.
The only thing is my birthday approaches in a week I’m trying to figure out the best way to just capture all these things, like do I wait a month to finish filming do I spend a year? Like what do I do, how does it come together what is it Work? And then there’s the art shows that are going on and all the stuff to own with that sub documenting that and I’m getting things together I’m even documenting about my diabetes it’s just interesting to me. i’m kind of recording everything right now I’m not trying to leave anything out because I think it could all be interesting stuff to put into film essentially . I’m gonna be 43 in a couple days and I wanna have a legacy to leave the world at some point more than just paintings I forgot to sign my name on though those are probably going to be mostly my legacy .
Also I’m very thankful everyone who saw my show and went to go see it and bought prints and it all that stuff I could really help this year has been kind of slow so I needed kind of a boost from all that. I have realized view the writings that I’ve been doing nonstop and journaling and One not that my voice in my head is not the voice it comes out of my mouth. The voice in my head is from the Caribbean and Latin America and sounds like that and send structures like that so when I write a lot of times it sounds like I’m still there when I talk I’m thinking about grammar and all these things so it’s it’s very interesting to kind of learn these things about myself that I hadn’t quite paid attention to for such a long time.
Either way love you, Galeras. I hope you’re doing well see you soon.
Painter out,
