Frankie on the down low...

2011-11-21T02:29:00.000-08:00

So honestly I haven't been updating or doing much on the art front lately. Since the 30/30 show in July I been burnt out. On July 3rd I had a panic attack over the project and called someone I really liked. Someone I wanted to be romantically envolve with. But I never told him I was Bipolar and we had a fall out due to him not being able to deal with my disorder. I had also stooping taking my meds after starting the project June 1st. I wanted to see what would happen with my art as i tapered down my meds and reduced to nothing. I used the projected to see if I wanted to stay on meds.

And the truth is I need Lithium to keep me balanced. I have been on a roller coasted ride from hell and back and I see now that I can't just mediate or do some new age shit. I have a disorder in my brain. Lithium helps to restore balance and allows me to better focus on my work and my emotional problems. That doesn't mean it makes me perfect but it gives me a chance to work on myself and my craft.

I don't have to be another sad artist who kills them self. (not that I plan that. Would make too many people happy and frankly I'm not in the mood to make any ass holes happy.) So at last day two of being on Lithium. The future is what I want to shape it to be and shaping the key core for me.

I quite smoking and I am starting to slowly but surely work out. I want to be better person all the way around. In side and out. So the break is over. I have been working way too many hours at work and not enough hours in my art studio.

So back to the drawing board folks!

I suck at updating!

2011-11-21T02:27:00.000-08:00

Yeah I know I suck at updating. If only I could get paid to post on this about art and shit and be able to suport me and my cat, Oryan. But at last I don't get paid...yet. haha

sloppy art

2011-05-02T01:44:00.000-07:00

I will be showing this Friday at Village Gallery of Arts in Beaverton, OR. How ever the show at Village Gallery of Arts leaves me feeling a little sad. For one i will not be there for the artist reception (i will be in Seattle) and two i rushed doing the project. The goal was simple. make four 6"x6" paintings in 30 days. well I procrastinated and i my work was due by may 1st. i started on Fri and did the work with water colors and i used gloss to make the colors run but they paintings looked sloppy and rushed. i'm kind of ashamed to turn them in but i didn't want to be a flake to a gallery. I'm signed up to do 30 4"x4" paintings in 30 days. this time i will not waste time. For now the clock is ticking for my 7x7 show and i have 6 virtues to do still and 30 little paintings.

Lust: The last of the Deadly Sins

2011-04-11T00:58:00.000-07:00

So At last I have finished my 7 Deadly Sins! The last Sin is Lust. This was a hard piece because I didn't just want blatant sex. That was too easy. I was going to do my birth since i was a product of a lustful night for my parents. But I didn't do it because one of the galleries can't show nudes and well my fat baby head coming out my momma is well beyond nude. My it still left me thinking. Most babies were born out of lust. If the pregnancy was natural and not from a donor, then it came from a night of lust. Lust can be dangerous. It can lead to rape, unwanted pregnancies, stds and what not but some times this thing called lust, a sin none the less can leave to something so amazing as a baby.

Arts & Charity: Community Auction Event

2011-03-23T02:15:00.000-07:00

A venue

2011-03-04T15:37:00.000-08:00

I will be having a big art show called 14 this June. Its about 7 deadly sins plus 7 virtues equals trouble!!

The 7 Deadly Sins Series

2011-02-23T14:01:00.000-08:00

So my last painting is in the works...Lust. ;) Then I start on the 7 Heavenly Virtues!

The 7 Deadly Sins Series: Sloth

2011-02-23T13:58:00.000-08:00

Sloth: After a week or two of painting my buns off and promoting art shows and looking for work I got a job and I was tired! Sloth was easy and this is what came of my laziness.

The 7 Deadly Sins Series: Wrath

2011-02-23T13:45:00.000-08:00

After my bottle of whiskey, broken heart and a hang over later I made Wrath. Vengeance would be mine no matter what! My wrath would not come from a knife or a gun but my my weapon of my power of determination. I'd move on but the ripples my pond were made and my blood spilled from my fingers for i'd ripped my own heart out and tossed it in that damn pond.

The 7 Deadly Sins Series: Gluttony

2011-02-23T13:16:00.000-08:00

McDonald's home of the Big Mac and the best fries a fast food joint has to offer. Also home of Gluttony fatty goodness. Its fucking sick I can choose the size of my value meal and the age i'll die from eating all this. No one forces me to eat this cruddy goodness but no one slaps that XL chocolate shake out of my hands. And if they did they get my wrath! So here is Grimus eating so much he ate his pal Ronald McDonald and as he munches on that red hair and blood coming out of his mouth with tears running down his face you can clearly see Grimus has a binge eating problem. I'm sure that was on the extra value menu.

The 7 Deadly Sins Series: Envy

2011-02-23T13:05:00.001-08:00

A few days just before a big art show I was having in Feb 2010 a guy i adored back in Phoenix told me he "Loved me but he was moving in with the guy he had been dating for months now." This made angry as hell because what i saw was mine was being taken from me. And the fact that he told me that "he loved me" made it worse. This painting was supposed to be Lust. My lust for him but due to my anger and some whiskey it was my Envy.

The 7 Deadly Sins Series: Greed

2011-02-23T12:52:00.000-08:00

The next in the series wasn't hard to cover. Greed! The person for this paint was good ol' Mayor Sam Adams himself. Sam Adams lied about an affair with his intern so he could get elected. He played the gay card and said he was target because he was gay. No Sam you were the target of someone's wrath because you ex lover/intern broke a man's heart but before braking his heart he told his ex love all the dirty details of your affair. But the point is you lie because you wanted to be Mayor. And I have to say a lot of us would because we're greedy just like you Sam.

The 7 Deadly Sins Series: Pride

2011-02-23T12:33:00.000-08:00

I started a year ago to cover the 7 Deadly Sins via Abstract design. The first painting to come out was Pride. I was unemployed last January and was walking through Macy's and I noticed that they were changing all the clothes on the manikins. They were all nude and poising their with perfect bodies with no imperfections to show. Yet the women that were showing were far from perfect but yet beautiful. But let one of them women with their imperfect body stand tall and proud in the dude and they would be laugh, stared at in discussed and called names. My manikin stands proud with her uneven breast, her cottage cheese thighs and her double chin all worn with Pride. A sin we do not forgive large people to be proud of their bodies.

At last an update!

2011-02-22T12:28:00.000-08:00

So I won't lie! I've been lazy with the updates and posting so one of my new goals for the new yr is to update more. Here is the new news! I landed a consignment dead with Benham Designs Concepts. You can see my page at www.benhamdesignconcepts.com/FrankieOlivo/. I also applied for an artist grant working with reusable items for art from the Portland City dump. If i get it i will get $1000 and to show my work a year later with 5 other artist. I should find out any day soon. I'm pretty nervous because I'm one of 46 artist who applied. Let's hope that the fact that i work with animal bones sets me a side from other artist.

I also got my first art studio this month. It's under the Hawthorne Bridge! it's so awesome too!

I'm also in the works of making a website for my art. So more updates coming soon!

Thanks!

2010-12-14T17:46:00.000-08:00

Well the year is almost over and what an exciting and emotional year. This year I applied for over 100 galleries, cafes, shops and any where who would show my work. Thank you to the fallowing places for giving me a chance, Purest Cafe, Aloft Hotel, Morpho Gallery, Good Neighborhood Pizzeria and Hash Restaurant. Thank you so much for your hospitality! Thanks to all my friends and family for all their support. I look forward for 2011!

guess who might be coming to breakfast??

2010-10-05T01:15:00.000-07:00

No really? guess? Mayor Sam Adams. Well I invited him to go to Hash and eat some food and see my painting of him. I don't know that he will go but that be awesome if he did go! haha

Now Showing at Hash Restaurant!

2010-10-01T04:43:00.000-07:00

In need of a long rest...

2010-06-23T18:57:00.000-07:00

This summer has been very busy for me so far. I was in Seattle a few weeks ago for a little R&R. Then I set up my art work at Good Neighbor Pizzeria and then the fallowing weekend I was in LA for a Power Summit host by the Gay and Lesbian Task Force on how to effectively organize and will Marriage Equality through the country. Then came Pride and canvassing and looking for a place to move too and packing and tomorrow my show and then Friday the move. Plus working graveyards. I'm flipping tired. So I called off of work tonight so I can get some rest. After all I can't be the host with the most with bags the size of cows under my eye balls or falling asleep during my show. So good night bloggers and I hope to see you all tomorrow!

What a lovely line from one of my favorite bands. Now that I have your attention I thought I tell you all about my up coming art show at Good Neighbor Pizzeria. Its been showing all month long so far but I've been a little busy with trips to Seattle and LA and moving temporary to Oregon City. So if you are free this Thursday the 24th then come out to Good Neighbor Pizzeria on 800 NE Dekum Street (Dekum is like 7 or 8 blocks north of Alberta and close by MLK Blv.) from 7pm to 10pm and enjoy some pizza, beer and art by me. And I hope you enjoy my latest painting of "Sam Adams La Mayor de Portland" :)

Last year was a rough year and I came out punching. This year started off good but uncertain but now the clouds have cleared. now if some one would inform the weather here in Portland that winter is over that would be awesome. :)

2010

2010-02-22T14:04:00.000-08:00

2010 is looking so far pretty good far as art goes. I think this will be an exciting time right now to be an artist and in Portland no less! I have been laying low fat as art goes in Portland until a few months ago. I wanted to study the art scene a little bit before I jump in. I find that Portland locals are nice but they fear the change that outsiders can bring to their city and the art scene here is clear proof of this.

In Phoenix for a time it was hard for local artist to get into the Galleries of Scottsdale or even Phoenix. Local art didn't sale and if you wanted to show you had to make a name for your self some where else before you could show. Then local artist bought old houses in the Willow and Roosevelt Districts and made new rules for the game. Local only. That was good and all but what the snob galleries in Scottsdale did was make local Phoenix artist want to be better then what they were. They made them step outside the box and create their own space and step a way from this bushi bull shit art that only a corporate whore would ever want to buy for his office on the 32 floor of his empire of greed.

So back to Portland...I think the Portland art scene is facing a rut. One the Economy is horrible just just here in Portland but across the US but it's hit the city pretty hard. Two I think we have a divide in the city between Pearl District's art scene and every where else in the city. I think the Pearl district might be new foam of hell.

Truth is the Pearl needs to be what it is and so do all the other districts. I Love Bell Mont, Sellwood, Hawthorn, Alberta, Mississippi and Multnomah Village. All very different from one another. And there are more art districts that I have not even named. I think we need to embrace the differences and stop trying to make this city one giant clone Pearl.

So as an artist we need to embrace that things change and we should accept that as new and different people come things changed. Lets embrace cultures and use the things that make us different are the adjectives but the now is the same...human. We are all just humans.

So you want change then be the change you want to see. And I want to see more diversity in this city and in doing so I'm going to attempt to diversified my style of painting and embrace new ways and explore and experiment and just grow like a tree.

Yesterday I was a 4 and today I am a 5...

2010-01-20T01:06:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I participated in a focus group about adds and commercials for Apollo College. We had a homework assignment to write out a typical weeks day for us and to bring in a picture of something or someone you are most proud of. Everyone brought in pictures of their kids, lovers and family. I brought in a fl yer for my first ever solo art show, that is today.

I got sort of a hint from our speaker and everyone that family is everything. I not too close to my family and they and most of my good friends are far away. I haven't been in a relationship in over a year. And to make matters even better I was told that day by the man that I would have stayed in Phoenix if i knew he loved me, that he loved me and that he is moving in with his boyfriend.

It was kind of a many punches below the belt kind of day. But what I realised after a nice chat with a friend is...

That my lovers come and go. Kids at some point let their parents down and love is not guarantee till to death do you part but what I create with my bare hands will out last any relationship I ever have. My past lovers can take their love away, break my heart and disappoint me but no man and no person on earth can take what i create. Art will out last us all.

(PS this is a disclaimer that though many people have awesome families and lovers I have either but what I have I created from my hands I will never worry about that leaving me or hurting me.)

Aloft Hotel Show Case

2010-01-10T04:39:00.000-08:00

I am now showing at the lovely Aloft Hotel in Portland, Oregon. This is my first solo show ever! I am very excited and I hope everyone can join me for my Artist Reception that Aloft is throwing for me. It's Wednesday January 20th, 2010 from 6:30PM to 8PM at Aloft Hotel Lobby/Wxyz bar at the hotel. There will be refreshment and wine served. The Aloft Hotel is near the PDX Airport and across from the Cascades Max Station.

Thank you for every one's support to help me make this dream a reality.

The Virgin Mary Series (For this blog entry read from the bottom on up)

2010-01-10T04:11:00.000-08:00

The Virgin of Fixation 2009:

The Virgin has been in the spot light for years. A woman we know little about other the her name was Mary and 14 she was married to Joesph and was knocked up with God's seed. And gave birth to a baby boy she named Jesus. We can't but help but to be fixated on her. She was a mother symbol for so many people in the world and myself included.

The Virgin of Hope 2009:

Even though her son was now dead she had the courage to go on. She had to hope that her son knew what he was doing and that there would be some hope in his actions. After the Crucifixion of my dream I found the courage to hope for the future. There just has to be hope or there is nothing left worth living for.

The Virgin of Broken Dreams 2008

I'm Sure the Virgin Mary had dreams her self of what she wanted in life and her son and I imagine the Crucifixion of her son was not one of them. And like her I had a dream and someone I thought loved Crucified that dream.

The Virgin of Deception 2007:

This was the first Virgin I did in this series. My Virgins are not a attract on the Catholic Church or on the Virgin her self. Its more about seeing her as a real human being rather like a religious figured. How much do we really know about her other then she was knocked up at 14 by god? This Virgin of Deception is about how we might see people or situation but can you rise above to see past the Deception. I'm sure Joseph had to really think about if his new wife was a tramp or blessed by God. For me I think of her as a young girl who had no choice in her marriage to Joseph and or choose this so called "Miracle Birth".

The Impact

2010-01-04T02:47:00.000-08:00

I come from a family of 9 kids and I growing up there was only 3 of the 9 kids in the house. 6 of the kids came from Dad's other marriage and they were not around much. Growing up I was closer to my sister Roxanne more then my Brother Armando. My father ran out my Brother Armando when both my sister and I were young. For it was for a wile just Roxanne and me. We went to hell and back. We would hold each other and cry in the closet as my parent would argue and throw things around the house at each other. My sister was 17 when she got pregnant and she had a little girl named Anisa. My sister and I remained close still and I even helped her with Anisa. My sister meet a man named Mike and they got married and had a baby girl named Alexis. After our Mom died and many years later she left her husband and slowly became a person I would not know any more. She became a liar and thief and went to jail. Almost lost everything. She ended up having two little boys with a man who was a coke addict and thief that broke into my apartment and our Father's house. It's been over a year since I have spoken to my sister. To me the sister I grew up with and was close too is long dead and what is left is a spineless evil person that left an awful Impact on her family. Most whom today no longer talk to her.

Things That Bind Us Together/On My Own Again

2009-12-11T01:39:00.000-08:00

On My Own Again: After a hurtful break up I moved back into the house I grew up in to find myself again. I felt lost and I felt that I had drifted away to the people that really matter in my life. Wile I was home I patched up things with my Dad and my Brother and moved into a place where I was "On my Own Again."

The Things That Bind Us Together: After painting "On My Own Again" I painted this piece. I realized that some times there is a great force that just brings us together and binds people to one another. The lines are much like muscle tissue. Everything is just held in place where they need to be.

Mazo

2009-12-08T12:21:00.001-08:00

Some times our feelings for one another get crossed and woven into one another making a separation difficult. Because a part of you in twine into them and them to you. To get back you and only you can be a maze of guts and emotions and the separation is never a clean break. In the end you can get your self free of this maze but you have to leave a part of you with them and you will take away a part of them with you when you are free.

Watch My Colors Run/Raw

2009-11-19T21:24:00.000-08:00

Watch My Colors Run: I did not mean to make gay pride colors! I swear! It just turned out that way! lol

Raw: This is a raw look of myself. I see a fat man in the mirror but inside there is a thin man. I have struggled with my weight issues for a long time. At one point I was over 500 lbs! I have reached down to 32o lbs at one point but I haven't hit the 200's yet. But I have not got beyond 380lbs since I started losing weight. It's a war I intend to win!

What I've Broken/British Surgar Daddy

2009-11-19T20:09:00.000-08:00

What I've Broken: Matt is an amazing guy I once was with. He really loved me and I loved him too but I've never been loved by someone who loved me in a good healthy way. I broke what could have been a chance at something amazing.

British Sugar Daddy: After Matt I dated a British sugar daddy named Alan. He was a good rebound in all ways a rebound relationship can serve. His heart was grey but his wallet was filthy rich!

Radiance

2009-11-17T13:45:00.000-08:00

Radiance: This painting means a lot to me. All my pieces means something to my heart but I have to say it's the favorite child among them all. Painting this painting was very emotional but not due to pain but pure lustful pleasure. This painting is about the Aura of a man I meet wile I was vacationing in Hollywood. I meet him on my last night in town and he was the best part about the trip because he beyond most men I meet. He has a drive, passion and talent for music. And I love music! If it wasn't for the fact that all I can play is a mean cow bell I might be in a band. Need less to say this guy is like a super nova. And he will always have a little spot in my sole and he was worthy to be the subject of a painting. I think I haven't hit my peak as an artist but if I died today I'd be fine with leaving this piece for the world to remember me by.

As you can see I love this painting so much I took a picture with it. To me I like to think my art is touchable. I know you should not touch a painting, even though I do! But I like to make pieces that feel like you are falling down the rabbit hole to an un-discover part of our universe and you can't help but want to touch it and be a part of it. I like to think my art is seductive at times. After all we can't be good all the time. ;)

Flesh and Bone & And You Doubted Me

2009-11-16T04:59:00.000-08:00

In the past two weeks I have sold two paintings! Exciting right?! So here is what sold and the meaning behind the work.

First one is "Flesh and Bone" 2008

This painting is about is a connection i had with a guy wile having intercourse with him. It is hard to fine a lover who knows what he's doing and do it to perfection but it is once in a blue that you have lover you can have amazing sex with a connection of perfection that you bare your flesh and bones of your sole for this person and most of all be safe in there arms.

The next piece "And You Doubted Me" 2009

Is about the people who doubted my move to Portland. People can mean well but have doubts in you. Some times they are right and other times they are wrong. But it is nice when you get to turn around and prove them wrong.

The meaning behind "Open Arms"

2009-11-16T04:20:00.000-08:00

Umm what's up with all these folks having a blogs dedicated to the kids they have? I find my self outrage and jealous! OK not so much outrage but jealous of all the little rug rats in these blogs.

I was close to my Mom till I was five and then she went to work and that was the end of our relationship. Monday to Friday my Mom busted her ass being more of a Mommy figured to kids at the day care she slaved at for minimum wage wile I went to school and came home to an empty house. When she got home she cook dinner for us and watch TV till she went to bed. I'd play by myself till she forced me to go to bed. On the weekends she got up at 8am and made a home made breakfast for our family. And at 10am she started to drink her Mexican brandy and coke and cleaned the house from top to bottom, after that she made an amazing home made Mexican dinner that was spoiled by her drunken bitterness with us kids, my Dad and her life. By 1AM she passed out cold and I would carry her to room and clean up the next meal she was cooking for us and take her boozes and pour them down the sink. Sundays was the day you fended for your self because Mother was too hung over to cook for us. We usually took care of her while she was hung over. Come Monday we started the same routine all over again.

The years passed and my mother's drinking got worst and my father started drinking again and the fights they had seem to never end. Year after year the bond my Mother and I had started to cave in on it's self. By the time I was 14 our arguments would end insults and by the time I was 16 I told her once "I wish you would die." in a heated argument and I told her a few times that I had hated her and she called me "ass hole" on a daily bases. When I was 17 things got better for a short time. Both my parents stop drinking things seem good but nothing good can last for long. Just two weeks before my 18th Birthday my Mother was diagnosed with liver Cancer. On June 8th 2000, just four months after we found out she had cancer, my Mother died.

There was so much I wanted to say to my Mother but i never got the chance. I lost what little was left of my child hood that day.

There are times when I'm mad at her for all the hell she put me threw. There are days when I feel like shit for saying the hurtful things i said. There are times when I'm OK with it all and times I'm not.

The kids on these blogs have parents that love them and I'm assuming love them right. My Mother loved me but it was some messed up love. My sister has kids now and she is pretty fucked up for a mother. My grand parents were abusive to their kids. See the cycle?

I don't know if I want kids but if I do have kids i want to love them the right way that all kids should be loved. And everyday greet my kids with "Open Arms."

7 months!

In two days its going to be 7 months that I landed in Portland. What an amazing, crazy, emotional and pain in the ass 7 months it's been!

First of all let me say the weather so far has be lovely. I am from desert of Phoenix. Its fucking dry there people. I don't like having my skin burned off my bones 6 to 7 months a year. But I'm not sure how i will do with no sun for the next 7 months. Guess I'm going to find out!

So let me tell you some things I've learned here.

1. Budweiser is not a real beer. In fact it's just water down urine (not that I've ever thought that but this is to inform readers back in Phoenix)

2. wear layers! One moment it's sunny and beautiful and the next it's raining and fucking freezing and five minutes later it warms up 10 degrees till sunset.

3. Portland does not have a real ghetto that I have seen yet. Just white kids trying to act like Tu Pac in the hoods of NYC.

4. PDX is not PHX or where ever the fuck you are from. Portland is Portland and that's that. Once you accept that you'll be fine.

5. There is no spicy food here! Has anyone heard of seasoning here?? (If there is please tell me where!)

6. Portland is weird because of all the passive aggressive people who fear the aggressive people like me. *evil grin*

7. The real guppies are the white suburban kids who grow dreads, smoke pot, say they swear they live by the Communist Manifesto wile they live off their parents trust funds and call me a guppy because I eat meat on my fine china wile drinking Maker's Mark Whiskey in Jack in The Box cup I got this afternoon with my tacos. :)

8. Food Front is a rip off on food!

9. You will get lost in the streets because it is a maze and people will tell you "but it's a grid." Yeah a fucked up grid!

10. Just be your self and if people don't like you they'll just sit in the corner all passive aggressively when you have fun with you new wild and aggressive friends you just made.
