Hiding Away

For the past few weeks I have been stuck in a hole. I’ve been shutting myself away from friends and family and not bothering to stir myself to focus on anything.

Dissapointment

Well, I’m not able to attend the Small Works opening, apparently when the website said Ground Floor in their floor plans they meant 3rd floor, up some rather difficult stairs.

The Naked Face of Art

To my mind there’s precious little point in complaining about the paucity of meaningful art any generation produces. You can’t browbeat artists into producing work that overcomes their audience’s natural resistance to a message.

Imagine My Surprise…

Discovery,by JennieI was going over my news feeds for possible story ideas, news and reviews in the art world when I came across this column. I read part of it and thought ‘I’ve covered this story before..’ then as I kept reading I thought, ‘Thats funny, this person writes just like me..’

Hotcakes anyone?

🙂 Two more sales this weekend to the USA. I am particularly happy to see this piece going to a home I know will love her. Just a reminder that my paintings can be bought online at sculptr.com or Boundless.

Dirty Words for Dirty Minds

That’s the thing about these hothouse youngsters some are so keen to shield from the horror of marble statues of naked Greek athletes and proper name for body parts: If I remember anything about childhood at all, most kids are pretty filthy-minded, especially when it comes to rude terms for body parts and functions.And look at the world they live in! By 9 or 10 – the age of Lucky’s target audience – they’re steeped in the lowest of pop culture, everything from raunchy rap lyrics to the state of dress (or, lately, undress) of barely post-pubescent starlets and singers who present themselves as role models. And one shudders to think of what technically savvy youngsters are stumbling across on the ‘net.Are they really going to be seriously damaged by exposure to the word “scrotum?”
