If you follow me on social media you’ll have noticed that I’ve been doing Cubo-Weirdist (yep, that’s what I’m calling it now–see last week’s post and of course, the new title of this here blog here) studies of animals. I’ve mentioned before that these are studies for larger paintings that I may or may not… Continue reading The Animal Paintings and Where the Hell They’re Going

If This is the Cubo-Weirdism Blog, What the Hell is Cubo-Weirdism?
So when the new blog page here at simoniteblog.standickie.com was launched last week there was a default name for the blog, which if I recall correctly was: Just Another WordPress Blog. Now of course, that would not do! So, off the top of my head, I changed it to Chris Simonite’s Cubo-Weirdism Blog. And few… Continue reading If This is the Cubo-Weirdism Blog, What the Hell is Cubo-Weirdism?
100 Bucks For an Original Oil Painting! Can I Get a Hellz Yeah?
So it’s been a little over a year since I started to sell my work on Instagram and Facebook and it’s gone fairly well. As is my MO, I haven’t kept great records of everything, so when I do my taxes I’ll find out exactly how well I’ve done. But as well as it’s gone,… Continue reading 100 Bucks For an Original Oil Painting! Can I Get a Hellz Yeah?
What the Hell? My Writing is Not Always Completely Clear?
A couple of weeks ago my attention was drawn to the first time I posted my painting of Fleabag, the character created by Phoebe Waller-Bridge, on Instagram. Now I usually spend a a bit of time each morning composing something to accompany my daily Instagram post. I often even get my wife to have a… Continue reading What the Hell? My Writing is Not Always Completely Clear?
Holy Shite, it’s the One Year Anniversary of this Blog!
I did it everybody! I wrote about myself once a week for a year! I feel like that should put me in the Narcissists Hall of Fame! Congratulations me! Woo hoo! How many more exclamation marks can I use? Okay, I’ll stop now. But I did think I should mark the occasion, especially since I… Continue reading Holy Shite, it’s the One Year Anniversary of this Blog!
Superheroes are Everywhere! Even In My Damned Blog!
That’s right, it’s two weeks in a row I’m talking about Superheroes on my blog. On a side note, a few weeks ago I decided that my blog should be on Tuesdays instead of Mondays since I always post new work on Instagram on Tuesdays and I always write a sort of micro-blog on that… Continue reading Superheroes are Everywhere! Even In My Damned Blog!
Dammit, it’s 2020 Part II!
So as you, dear reader(s) know, I did it. I reached my goal of 100 portrait paintings in 2020. In some ways looking back on it, it feels like it should have been easier. I mean, in the end, I apparently got to 109, but until around November, I really wasn’t sure if I was… Continue reading Dammit, it’s 2020 Part II!
There’s a Helluva Lot to do Next Year!
So next week it will be 2021. If feels good to type that, even though I don’t usually like it when years fly by like this one kind of did for me. It feels like yesterday that I was free to go where ever I want. I realize this year has dragged on for some… Continue reading There’s a Helluva Lot to do Next Year!
Shit, I Hit a Nerve. Better Talk About Art!
So dear reader(s) if you saw this blog last week you’ll know that, as an excuse to post all my paintings of the current occupant of the White House, I went on a rant about said moron. Shit, should I stop saying that? Nah, but apparently I hit a nerve with some people, which is… Continue reading Shit, I Hit a Nerve. Better Talk About Art!
Trump has COVID, Not an Excuse to Have a Laugh, but What the Hell?
So I’m writing this on the morning that the world learned that Donald and Melania Trump have COVID-19. I guess that means that Trump is, to paraphrase him “positive in a negative sense.” But who would’ve guessed that would happen? I mean, they were doing everything they possibly could to keep it away. Like magical… Continue reading Trump has COVID, Not an Excuse to Have a Laugh, but What the Hell?
