About the art and artist About me: I’m Aaron Spielman; welcome to my show. I’ve been a professional artist in some form for most of my adult life. My primary training was initially from my mother, a professional painter, various art teachers in grade school and at Cal State University Fresno and San Jose State […]

Mildly freaking out now.
I’ve had a very good weekend, saw old friends, met new ones (!), spent quality time with sweeties, took lots of photos. But I was too antsy to even watch the Giants game tonight. I’ve tried to calm down by playing video games, but that’s had limited success. I’ll be at the cafe at 8:00 a.m. […]
Art show progress: almost finished!
I’m at about 95% done with the prep for the show. What’s left is: Finish pricing of all the pieces. Create wall cards for each piece, or whatever needs done for this – I’ll need to contact Borderlands for this and find out what’s acceptable. Get the show postcards out to whoever is willing to […]
Art process: show advertising & progress
Last night, I created an advertising “postcard” for the show; these are for leaving with businesses that allow it and whatnot. I’ll have these printed up today. I also have about half of the pieces for the show ready to hang. I’m pleased with my progress so far.
Art process: show stuff.
I’ve just finished going through my portfolio, selecting the pieces I want to actually hang. I have forty-nine, and will likely complete at least two more pieces before hanging the show. I am going to need to buy a bunch of frames and a bunch of clear “matt-hangers” (I misremember what they are actually called). I will […]
Oh my stars and garters! I’m having a show. A solo show of my work.
It’s unprecedented, for me. This will be the first solo show I’ve ever done. I’m very excited. My history with the retail art world has not been good. In fact, I’d pretty much given up hope that I’d ever be able to show my stuff on anything bigger scale than my house and this rather […]
Well, *that* was a weekend.
I am home after my first day back to work following a four-day weekend – a weekend filled with physical labor, customer service, lack of sleep and huge, giant gobs of fun. Y’see, I’m a science-fiction and fantasy fan, and I got to help plan and run SFWA’s Nebula Awards Weekend. I spent the weekend […]
More news for the site and such.
I’ve culled & uploaded my recent San Francisco Zoo outing pictures. They are here on Flickr. I’ve also added two more albums to my portfolio. Commercial work; not much here, as the things that graphical work I’ve done that I both want to show off and actually still have, is pretty small. Tattoo designs are exactly […]
Hey, look! Over here! I’m still alive… in fact I just updated my online portfolio with my first piece from this year.
It’s right here. I also just completed an album cover for my OSO Veronica; the album will be out toward the end of the month, and it’s good. I really do intend to use this as a writing space, and actually have pithy and worthwhile things to say. Eventually. I do miss writing more than […]
Well, it’s been an interesting few months.
So, as I mentioned, I quit my job in the first part of February. Less than a week later, my wife and I flew to New Zealand to attend the wedding of two dear friends who emigrated there some years back. Needless to say, we had a blast, The pictures are ready to go online, […]
