May 9, 2005ebay tid bits
Adventures on Ebay, the chicken bone piece, see this lot for details. One of the funny bits about the ebay deal is what some people post, ??? I was showing a frind of mine this and he said, "man you need to get a life, george your net life is more exciteing than your real lifeand man thats sad" he's kinda a proud go getem type, ol buddie now kinda Christian . he got sorta erked by the porno pictures i have in my studio, , (only a couple of old mags i have been cutting up to uses as "sexy" figure studies in ponds) but none the less he went on about how sad it is that this all i do, i got a lecture about seizeing life and courage etc.
this is a strange piece but it looks good with this one View image by suzane Davis called "I an't you witch" this artist, heather duncan ?? , i cann't make out her name,. When i got into hunting out all these Halloween art finds on ebay, I mean you can get these things cheep, i ran across this one , mainly the one with the head cut off, i email the lady and she told me about the piece, but she wasn't a oddball halloween artist more a decrative painter, art leauger type(at least thats what i gathered from he webstie) so i asked if i could make a copy of it, (painting) i got back this real long email explaining the legality of it then a copyright and then a percentage when its made into print, plus she had to be reconised or credited, i though, what the fuck she dosen't own scracrows and witchs . i just dropped the whole deal , but then i thought man this person should be honnored i would want to copy them, who the hell would want to rip her off anyway,. Oddly after a month she and Davis did a colabrative over this piece and Davis did one, sold it, and she did another , put them together one lot,. i got these two for cheep, she sold them to me after all, I do like the two pieces, but what i find as strange is what i might like about them as art, she may not, looking at the rest of her work she was a serious painter type, bad or folk awkward may not have been part of her style. I like them for ther ridginess and thinly painted figures , blockness of colors, this may not be precieved as complemtary(if i had to explain it)., i think what orginally cought my eye about the first one was that the headless scarecrow looked like a black man! thats right i emailed her to ask her that question, you go figure. (so if she reads this i don't want a slander suit or copyright lawsuit for showing these on the net i make no money on these and this is called art crittism in todays climate art and bio arn't nessarly seperate its all the same, email me if you have any problems ) It reminds me of this one storied back in the mill, with Charlie, in Floyd, Charlie found this painting in this garrage sale real wierd, well this old lady sorta a battle axe of a trollete harden mother type did them, he bought a coulpe of her work and took some on consignment in the gallery. well when he had them up (looked like bad landscapes) she and her husband would come by once a month and complain about where they were hung and what he was doing to make her a million, it was halarious!,. she would stroll on in with this bull frog look on her on her face sorta intimadated by where she was and would start mumbling about this isn't righ or that, after a while Charlie just had enough and gave here back her work even the ones he owened cause she upped the price from 30$ to 500$, . i remeber telling him "well you wanted to deal with artists form the outside well here is one" |
