I have been waiting for this moment.  Last week, I was contacted by 2 different parties about my art.  Each wants the same pieces.  Wow, how does this happen?  I guess I will have to see who is the best match for my work and how much clientel they have. 

Dang -   still getting work done, now that it is cooler.  Florida really is a s-hole when the suns out.  Have been able to start two new wood sculptures - using the new chain saw - man what a scary piece of equip.  have also been able to sell two paintings - Yea!!! Self promotion is hard work... hung a couple of pieces in a very good neighborhood and saw what the real rich people live like.  Hey I am satisfied with bologna and cheese.  Don't need the BMW or stuff.  It all falls away when you die - Right?  Instead I am going to meditate and see if I can connect to some folks I have been thinking about. Since George C died, have had him on my mind alot.  Oh yeah-I found prints and woodcuts from 1973 - they were in a drawing pad packed up.  I also found an etching by George.  Had it framed and it is a beaut.

Best part of holidays are being with those you love.  I have two beautiful women who bless me with their love.  I hope everyone has a good holiday season and remember/reflect on the good parts of our lives. 

Just submitted the poem "Blood River" to PoetryREpair.org.  This is a non-profit org that helps new poets by pairing them with a mentor.  Cool.  Also asked them to contact www.ApartmentE.com. Frankie.   Great guy.  Thius weekend will be fine tuning ebay and putting some art up for sale.  Please support your local  and international art. 

Today - makes first time i am sending out advertisements via us mail.  it has taken me a year and two months to get to this point.  I have been able to get the flyers printed, bus cards made, and envelopes ready.  i am sending out the flyer with a demo disk of my work.  i hope something happens with this.  later....

Great time.  Lots of work but it was not hot like it is in FLA.  Had a couple ideas about prints with texture and then sosme info laid on top using adobe acrobat.  Some scam artist tried to get me to cash his money order. Man what is it with people?  No one is honest anymore?

I have been studying some on the aboriginal paintings that the Australian government purchased in the 80's.  It is interesting to note that the clans all had their own rights to a certain spirit.  Much of the comercial bark paintings are watered down varieties of the individual's claim to certain images. As popularity of the aboriginal's art became larger and larger, many artists began to incorporate abstract and geometric images. 

Finished the first reread of Foxfire book 1. It brings back remories of the farm in Virginia. 

I am again going to New York to hang another show.  Four days on the road again. Sure hope the truck's a/c keeps working.  It has been awful hot while I am sealing the fresco's.  My studio a/c is not keeping up with the temps.
