Snow Day

Thu Dec 10, 2009, 5:24 AM



Not only is it a snow day for the kids but it is a figuratively as well as a real one for me. I have decided not to sell art anymore. I merely will be posting my art for fun and critiques. I am going to eventually delete what is in the gallery now, for personal and other reasons. I honestly don't expect my work to sell. It just isn't that good. And if I wouldn't buy it then why would somebody else do so?? No question, really. Some that I keep in the print shop are only examples, and I don't want to lose some of the nice comments that were left on a few just to remove them from the shop. So, we'll see how that deletion process goes, not too sure about how I can keep them in the gallery without deleting and re loading them up again. I really don't have time for that much today. Just letting people know what is going to happen soon!

Take care my friendlies! If I don't do this journal again before the New Year then... Happy Holidays!!! :holly:

Please visit the gallery of skiesofchaos, he has some nice work there and a calendar for 2010, too!

Thanksgiving Break

Journal Entry: Wed Nov 25, 2009, 7:25 AM
Am so happy to have a few days to use as I like for arts sake as well as being with family for the holiday. Am definitely going to write some poetry and perhaps find a rain free moment to take some pics! That would be grand, though I fully expect the weather Not to cooperate. The next few days have predicted rain or at least cloudy days. No sun in sight. May hap the muse will cooperate and get me motivated to try some indoor set ups. Those are not my forte but one can try to learn. Ha!

Not much to say today just a quick entry for the sake of getting things rolling here for a short time. I need some luck somewhere so may as well start on a positive note. Action speaks louder than words, so then art isn't a silent partner. It needs some thought foods to make it grow and show what can be done when application meets inspiration. When all else fails, just doodle! :laughing:

:peace:

Absence

My camera and I aren't speaking, nor are the muse and me. I've put them on the shelf for the time being. I try to do art but don't FeeL the art. Am I an artist?? I struggle with this thought now on a daily basis. It's strange. I've done some good work but real life work and other personal things have gotten in the way of creativity. There isn't enough time. I need a 48 hour clock! I get little sleep which is the bane of my existence. It eludes me and I'm just too out of sorts to figure out all the whys. Mucho expensive dental work, colds, laziness, poor self esteem, etc.. I could probably make a list the size of Mt. Rushmore!

So anywayyyy, all my activities here are on hold till I get my act together somehow. And some how could amount to the entire Winter and Spring. Maybe I'll come out of hibernation then. I'll have to if I want to sell ART. I laugh at my efforts at this! It's a waste of time, just a pastime, it seems. I am feeling terribly cynical, low and desperate for sleeeeep. I can't take sleeping pills due to asthma. So for all practical purposes I'm doomed to zombie land in the awake world. When I have something good or of note to say I'll be back. Till then.... ciao my friends.

P.S. Admittedly, my mood is down but I haven't totally stopped writing, just more for myself than for the public. As for Photography, I'm just not finding time for it.

Adding Licenses

Journal Entry: Wed Aug 26, 2009, 4:29 AM




To certain of my photo's I'm adding licenses. It just seems fitting to make the ones I like best less available to the general audience here. I'm concerned with copyright issues sometimes, too. If someone really wanted to take an artists ware I'm sure they could unless it was marked indelibly some way. Even statements of copyright don't stop some. If you don't know they have what's yours how would you know you'd been violated?? Good question. It keeps popping up to mind lately.

I've been busy trying hard to add as much as possible to my gallery all summer. Not a lot of opportunity to due to being ill much of the time. Oh well.

So, if you want to use my work, fine, just give me credit on the finished work and a link back to here. Also, I need a note or email to let me know you will be using anything from this gallery.

As for featuring random artists, I'm at a loss right now, and haven't had time or mind to do any further searching for artists. It's not hard to do just time consuming, which I don't have much of lately.

Thank you!
