GMedia Wraps Design

Here is my latest Vehicle Wrap Design.

Time is an illusion

The cycles of day and night flow together in ever increasing flow, the vibrations of night and day dance in a undulating way pulling closer to a flip flop. I feel a great sense of speed and excitement as the year progresses. I have many new works in order and have an idea for a new series of paintings based on crop circles. The process of drawing all the circles will reveal much, the colors and patterns that emerge from the paintings should be most interesting! I do hope you enjoy the new series.

With love

Times have changed, I'm leaving crumbs

Febuary 2011 this time feels different accelerated. Day night wake sleeep cycles seem to flow together in a dancing blur of memories of the same day gone past. I create art to leave crumbs behind and show I lived these amazing times. We grow closer to the vortex..... the point of conciseness that we are in tune with the vibration of love. .....

cprime bracelet arrives

Today my new cprime bracelet showed up, thank you Tommy for finding me pre-launch. Man this thing is awesome! We did the tests on mom and myself and the balance ones are what are most impressive to me. This thing works as advertised. I am so excited. http://cprimeusa.com check out the site if you like what you see and want one let me know.

cPrime getting into balance

My brother Tommy called me up the other day and told me about this new cprime bracelet that you wear and it enhances your balance and flexibility as well as your strength and performance. I saw him demo the bracelet and was totally blown away with how well it works. So I signed up as a distributor to sell them. That was a no brainer only $49 bucks and I can buy them wholesale. I get my first bracelet tomorrow, Tommy had to get one for me as the company has not officially launched the product yet. Man talk about being in the right place at the right time. The bracelets cost $100 but you can get them wholesale for $80. The companies website is http://cprimeusa.com if you are interested in purchasing a bracelet from me when they launch you can go to my replicated site http://mycprime.com/allowistic this site should be live soon.

Cloud and Gaia

Cloud and Gaia

I feel this is one of the best photos I have created. It really captures the feeling of energy in the light. And the curiosity of two young spirits. I took this photo with an old 1G iPhone my brother gave to me, then edited it with photoshop's free iPhone App. I am writing this message on a free blogger app and posting it via my friend Zack's WiFi. All of these tools allow me to capture this beautiful moment, and for this I am grateful. 

Life is beautiful and abundant, allow the moments of wonder to bring a smile to your face and you have found a key to happiness. - Allowistic Artist Vincent Strader

Painting Restoration and Photo Restoration

This week I had 2 really interesting projects. The first came from my friends Zach and Peter from Cantastiks They make these really cool lamps from recycled cans. I wanted one of there big lamps that are over $200 so I thought one day I would do something to trade out with them. The other day Peter shows me the painting of his grandmother and asks if I can restore it the way I was restoring photos.

This painting is in bad shape, painted in 1947 It had seen better days. I took a photo of the painting and started work in Photoshop and Painter. I am very happy with the results as is Peter. 

My second project for the week comes from the Big Picture here in Las Cruces. It was also a big challenge as it is a photo from the 70's that is really faded and had some funky goop on it that they did back in the day.  What a challenge I had to smooth out the skin tone and bring back the color. This one was a big challenge. The results are amazing I played with the Curves in photoshop to tweak the color and restore the tone. Lots and lots of layers of tweaking to get it just right. 

Here is a good book on Photo Restoration if you are interested in learning how to do it. 

Paragliding, The feeling of being free as a bird.

Saturday started out bright and exciting. I had a cup of coffee and waited for Lee Baker to show up so we could ride down to El Paso to meet Hadley our Paragliding instructor. Hadley is 61 years old and started flying paragliders when he turned 55. With over 1000 flights under his wings, Had is a great instructor, with a Saftey first attitude.

Lee had the first flight of the day. The winds were nice and consistiant blowing from the West at about 10 mph.  Launching a Paraglider under tow is an interesting experiance. You have this force pulling on you from the tow line and when it gets strong enough that you can no longer hold it back you run like the wind and the wing comes up over head. Running  as fast as you can the wing starts to lift you off the ground your feet running in the wind. The sensation is out of this world. It is like going on the up swing of a large rope swing and just keep going up. 

When it comes time to release you feel the peace and beauty that surounds you. The view from up in the wing is like nothing else. You have a free view of the world like a bird views it.

Next up it was my turn.  

 Hold back the pressure.... 

As I take off the Wing starts to turn to the left. The Flight is Aborted and I am must land. You can see in this photo the dip in the wing on the left side. This was caused by a Stick that got picked up by the lines as the wing inflated. I was able to land safely and Fly again. 

Next Flight was Better for Me I got some really good altitude but when turning the wing I had some issues. The wing I normally fly with is more responsive and I was not leaning enough or putting in enough break inputs. So I landed down wind. Not the best thing to do as you are hauling ass and it is like trying to run off the ground. Luckily I was able to keep the wing off the ground long enough to slow down and land softly.

Happy little Manifestation

Yesterday I told a story to a friend of mine from a book I read back in college by Tony Hillerman. The thought occured to me that I would really enjoy to read more of his work. Today I went to get a glass of iced tea and saw a bag with some books in it and one of them was out enough for me to read the title of it, "Talking God" by Tony Hillerman. I opend the bag and there lay 5 Tony Hillerman books. My step dad picked them up when he went down to help one of the neighbors move some stuff for the Park Garage sale. He decided to bring the bag of books home for no reason.

A Spiritual Experience at Baylor Pass

Walking in touch with the desert I start to feel the connection with everything. I look around with eyes of wonder at this beautiful landscape that swallows me with magnificent views. The sky feels like it goes on forever. Silence is offset now and then with the breath of a thermal inhaling on its path to equilibrium. A never ending flow that is reflected in our own life's as we are drawn to the Vortex of Positive energy. Being in this place resonates with my soul.

Photo Restoration for prints

Ok so the last Photo restoration project I showed was the test for me with The Big Image a Las Cruces Art Gallery and High End Printer. I went in to see what I could trade out so I could do some Large Giclee Prints on Canvas for my Dream Car Series. After seeing my work on the first project he gave me 8 more here are the results of the ones I have completed thus far.

Photo Restoration project.

Here is a project I took on to restore an old photo. The photo is in really bad shape. I used Painter and Photoshop in the restoration process. I am really happy with the results. click on the photo to see larger version.

See the world more beautiful

I have seen many images in my life. Some I have taken the time to record in the form of a photograph or a painting. Each image I take really gives me the way to see the world more beautiful. When we take the time to see the world more beautiful the world around you becomes more beautiful.

As I continue on my path as an Artist I am exploring the spiritual side of life as my point of view. Looking at the world as the majestic vibration of energy formed in a way that my body harmonizes with the vibrations creating a reality that I am free to explore. I have chosen to take to the air and fly like a bird.


These are the first photos of me flying a paraglider. I have reached my P1 rating having 5 flights and have flown once from the rim of a extinct volcano. I am looking forward to the freedom of viewing the world from 14,000 feet siting in a harness attached to a formed piece of fabric. I think this time aloft will be some of the best meditative times of my life. I plan on sharing my new view of the world with everyone through my images. Thank you for taking the time to think about seeing the world more beautiful.
