I don’t remember where or how I came across Charles Glaubitz work first but I can tell you this, he was the first artist I ever commissioned to do work for me and he, might be, one of the nicest men I have never met. I have since bought at least 5 paintings from him and have referred him to at least two other people. Check out this interview I did with him over the internet.

What is your name?
Charles Glaubitz Gonzalez

Where do you live and work? How would you say that has defined you as
an artist?
I live and work in PLayas de Tijuana, Mexico. Right on the border
between Mexico and USA, it has made my work what it is…where the third
world meets the first with a flood gate and some fanatics with guns
called the minutemen.

How long have you been selling paintings for?
about 6 years

Do you have any exhibits running right now? Any future ones? What are
you working on right now?
Yes I do, HERE!

What is your creative process?
content, sketches, painting, sip of beer, painting, sip of tequila,
painting, finish.

What is your favorite medium?
right now is acrylic

What is your current favorite subject?
modern myths, esoterism, quantum physics, magic, indigo children, new
age, politics, environmentalism.

I know you are a family man, besides paying bills how does that effect your subject or your process?
It has changed my outlook on my work alot!instead of being angry and our
society for its stupidity and making paintings about it!I figured out
that two negatives just repel each other and don’t really make a change,
so my work ahs changed into sometime that hopefully has a different
positive outlook and that will have a larger effect than the negative.

How has that changed from your past paintings?
well look at this way, before I wanted to burn all McDonalds with
molotovs, now I understand that if I do that they will build more!!so
it is better for me to go to school, get a masters in business and work
myself to the top of the board and then bankrupt the damn mother fucker
with bad buisness decisions.

what have you been listening to most?Does it effect your process? why
and how?
I keep always going back to tommy guerrero, pink floyd, miles davis
bitches brew, art bell coast to coast, deepak chopra quantum healing,
dorren virtue, grant morrison….

How long does it take for you to finish a piece?
a little beer, a little tequila and some weed.

What has been your biggest accomplishment so far?
being a good husband(well thats my opinion) and a good father

How does your location effect your paintings?
they did in the beginning, but they don’t now!

Are there any contemporary artists that you love? Dead artists?
Jose clemente Orozco, Gary Panter, Lee Baxter Davis, Jack Kirby, Hiyao
Miyazaki,

What do you think of the current state of Art in the US / MEXICO?
The outsider art movement in the US to me is my favorite, it is honest,
sincere and what it is…it has no snobby pretentious attachments,
obviously the snobby art is what is in the art circles!!!in Mexico it is
all about Gabriel Orozco, a snobby pretentious artist.

Can we buy your paintings / sketches / prints anywhere?
Yes Checkout www.mrglaubitz.com as well as galeria h&h

Red or Blue?
both! they make each other stronger!

Anything that people should know about that we don’t??
Yeah!That a spoon full of salt in a glass of water makes the water
undrinkable and a spoon full of salt in a lake goes unnoticed.

Any last words?
the after proceeds the before always.
