Paint-what do you think......this is how i feel

Situational melancholy excites doubt, making love to one self as the untouchable figure in my mind. Paint is the cultural element that engages and makes one stop, to be tolerant of mistakes - mascara on the ugly. Trying to simulate that gooeyness promotes of defeat. Covering it up like the gut with high-rise panties. Uneducated about one thing and very smart about another. Trying not to be perfect, perfection is an end. The Comcast of visual imagery to make one enter it rather then wanting to run away. Tranquil colors to sooth the pain. Working in layers and layers to hide, give and protect. The menace in society paint is. Film is the abstract truth. When bouncing from image to goals I have to let the messy be part of the finish.

Hot really Hot

We have a new show up this week, opening this Friday 6-9pm. IT IS HOT. Reid Crosby and Ash Larose are showing how artist are sensual and sassy. I want to share with you how Reid is the most professional artist I have ever seen.

1. He shows up the day and time he says he will.
2. All his art is titled, priced and ready to hang.
3. He provides diagrams on how to hang.
4. His web site is up to date to promote his show.

I want all to take Reids process of handling his relationship with the curator and ponder. Ask your self:
Do I prepare all my work to hang?
Do I have titles prices ect, figured out before I deliver the work?
Have I even check my website, updated it for my show?
Am I o time and reliable?

I ask myself this and I admit when I show in galleries I can not say yes to all my own questions. I will work on it. I hope you to too.

Please share with me experiences you may have had with curators...

First Thoughts

Here at Studio STK we have tons of art, lots of artist and lots of thoughts.
Today I am starting the Artist to Artist Blog. This is to help my fellow peers connect, chat, comment and rant on the Vermont art scene. I will tell you what I like, dislike and ect. each couple of days I will hit a topic, such as professional development, artist opportunities and things to see. You may ask me questions and give your thoughts.

Todays Breaking news...... TWO articles in Seven-daysOne review and one article about our Secret Movie night pick up your copy today.

A reminder to all you artist...Life drawing sessions here Thursday nights at 6pm. $8.00 with nude model. When I was in art school for two years I had 6 hours a week of life drawing. It is an amazing way to develop your skills and even if you don't use the figure in your own work it can be helpful even with abstract.

I will warn you all I am a terrible speller, I use spell check but due to my learning differences sometimes it will not pick up my mistakes: Hence I am a Artist not a journalist.
