September 2011 Archives
in a show called bacon wrapped urban folk art suposatories, me and Vince have like a dozen painting rip roaring and ready to show, plus ill be having an food art sculpture thing there for a utub event, its comming up fast like on the 8 of Oct, more to come on the show!
Yeap, i was chatting to Red about all this a couple of days ago, i think he likes to confuse the issue with serious prices and sales with serious art, what is it? especially when you throw the retarded deal of ebay into the mix,. Entertainment to him , which we talked about is a negative like artists should entertian, that trivialized the art or makes it look like its showmanship or pandering to cheapness, maybe. i say Entertainment is what people get from watching the flow of picture being turned out on ebay weekly, something i noticed as unique way back there that people will watch just to see what you make, if it don't get to borring and obviously directed towards a decorative gerna, . hell its all entertainment basicly the way i see, it. this sorta flippiant attidude i gots is from the or what i call the Slacker psychology , grew up around in Austin , its basicly ol hippy stuff which is ol country stuff -- now what am i talking about, well, ill be making a vid about it tonight, hummm
the slacker idea comes from the serious nature to suceed, its like "not whether you win or lose but how you play the game" type of stuff,. i told Red its how you play the game people will remeber not if you won by sales,. That one thing that can be a temptrese is sales if you take them seriously , well they should be but then again, you have to know why people buy and there are alot of rich folks out there playing games, something me and red figured out about ,. Besides Red , my adventures around art scene and watching all sorts of crowds talk about value , sales and how much something is worth, the really expenicive stuff not the stuff red points out like shark tank, but the local stuff where you actually see the price tag, is going to be this high end decrative markect that is everywhere its rich art made for rich people , who spend on impulse, , and ebay ain't much differnt, . if you want to make money , well your gonna have to be serious, its a career like a buisness, but if you want to make art and get respect by artists not rich ladys with to much time on there hands then , then your going to follow what creatively motives you other than an easy sale,
I always say its your imagination where does it go,? and how strong is it to pull you out of being intimadated by the seriousness of respect and peers, or value.
So yea, whats new , just painting night and day here in my studio, in sorta a daze , maybe i am not good enough to make it, here anymore, the idea of just of just working appeals but fuck, the guilt, ahhh at least i have my redneck pride here to prop me up, So, whats comming down the line, well more painting of this new thing i stubbled apon the jolly chimp and all sorts of variations of the chimp with Barbie and rodeo scenes,
what else , oh the painting above was made in 2001, , i forgot what its called.. and
what else, its still hot here but not as bad
So, yea, i think that, well last night i got another house to paint a quick one, so i am in luck , but other than that trying to fight the obsesse on BBQ cart deal i think i am gonna start slow with it make a trailer first see what it looks like and then do some trial runs, basicly, other than that, i have been running these jolly chimp paintings like crazy i got a bunch lined up i think they are gonna settle in a form like a rodeo setting mixed with 10,000 maniacs the movie, like a finely painted cute painting but with this suddle horror,. what else is going on, i am back into makeing Utube again,i had to fight the erdge but , i am gonna just lest go of these bigger ideas of films, and just let it rip when ever
as much as i like to fantisize about having a bbq cart it ain't easy, i can tell you that, hanging around a smoking pit all day, man i don't know how the guys at smittys in lockheart can do that all day whats do you get paid to do it, a friend of mine , Suzanne came down here and i took her to that place and i told her BBQ can only be served by the fat cynobite looking characters in Texas, like your walking in to the gates of hell, now hurry up and order!
yeap she was pretty surpised, and also wanted to know why there wasn't any forks, KORKS you foool!, ahhh so if i do cook anything around here i am gonna make up a fake culture out of the south and claim it, like Babtist pumpkin center, , anybody ever heard of that?
Yeap new updates,
Well back to these six paintings from the K Ohare collection
So, where does this alll go, this whole sumer has been crazy , way unexpected , type of super sexual , burned out , drunkenness, but i think its wareing thin and as much as i like art studio stuff i am going broke, or now in dept , what the fuck to do, get a job? ahhh its the gamblers curse i am starting to feel guilty for not having a serious career, and looking for ways to do things that will command my time more, so .. why not a BBQ cart, , one of my friends said i should go back to work, and like pull a w-4, ahhh why, really why, i am to old for that shit, now, i just have to go and drum up the sales and food,
i was talking to my folks about all this , they want me to get a job and sorta prepare for retirement, well i told them that i have been in retirement after college, and sorta going off on this art biz, which does make money don't get me wrong but not much so i am thinking about other activitys that i know have some more predictiablity, bbq cart is not that predictable, but what?
i think looking over this older stuff what where , i think this one above was a exe g friend, wendy painting they were all done in 2001,
So i am back trying to get doen with the first pic i think the canvas is to big going to scale it down, a bit , this one is two women in goat carts fighting over a property line, in front of Jaks Road house here in san marc,
Yeap, it looks like Red wants to close the door on the folk dual he is sending me this collection of piazza box art along with a bunch of other stuff, which might mark the end of stuff for a while, i think the video making can be exsoting if you put to much into it , or more like what you expect to get from it, . i generally like to make videos more or less, comming up with ideas and bs about it, some real and some not,
One person emailed me about the tv show cheaters about how fake it is , i don't think its fake like actors more like the editing and people in it are going along with what the show expects them to do, bust a cheating mate, staged ahhh i don't know it cann't be that black and white, either fake or real its like real but embellished or useing the camera to their advantage to get a point across, i think alot of the utube stuff is like that,
Red's package to me folk dual stuff
the folk dual for what ever its ambitions was it was ment to jab at people we didn't like , more like gallerys and groups , why? its an indirect insult to a degree but is it slander naaaaa, its entertainment, anybody who make stuff puts it out there will suffer crittizism, over it, I think what been going wrong in our culture which i have preached against for quit some time is the uncommon (passive agressive) scene the civil legal universe is bestowing on the morrons or ASHOLES of our community to play these types games , what the result is , is now thats the normal people devolope this assumtion that this is the way it is and the person who assumes this, is about as interesting as a saleman in a department store, flat borring sheep . they never develope beyond that of a sale pitch, and put the legal universe over everyday activity,. because thats the way it is,.
OK why go off on this, well our folk dual as entertaining as it was did run the risks of dirtying people's reputation if that is possible, i bet it won''t be long before some lawyer or firm will create the Reputation meter to see where your at like a credit score., the comments about the folk dual was if anything this lampooning the crafters out there , i went off on it for a while on this site way back. Its like the bluesman /punk vs the Bible belt crafters /silly dippy hippy artists , they are both the same in my books. Basicly thats what me and Red freaked out about who claimed the term "folk" But after a while i got to a point we are the real idiots for going into a maul and making a spectical out of our selves making fun of all these people who really don't give a shit and are about to call the secruity.
The art world is huge, i mean bigger than what me and red brain powers combined could muster , big by the facts about how many showing spaces , buyers and exhibits could be thrown, its out there, so to focus on this one mini fraction seems personal and if you run among a crowd.....
Artists are crazy, focused type of folk,. if you can piss one off they never go away, its personal and forever , i have to watch myself around here, but then again why would i want to piss some one off to begin with,? oh yea art crittizism, something i got to experriance over in two years of gradschool , it was a blast! Crittizism hummm well you are worth your words and one has to say them to be heard not simply an insult, one has to back them up to a degree, i think when one understand that there isn't much left to be said when one considers the person who says them so i keep my mouth shut , cause whats there to say that cann't be seen already.
, Art's coolness isn't worth it. i always saw it a facilitating a biography of some sorts less a person or artist as a stock there reputation value changes i guess people think they can control that., .
So ends yet again another chapter in this horror of folk, digging for new material,
last note,, one time i walked into a gallery at BlueStar and i knew the owner there they went to artschool and knew about art , well i started asking them about this one artist they had, like do you know this fellow is doing direct copyies of this one guy David Bates, a really known Texas artist , the owner admited he was inspired but not copyies but they sell like crazy,. i asked the owner you went to school you know this is wrong where is the interigity of the gallery on this one, "buuuut aaarnn't they greeeaat paintings" was his only remark,. yeaks justice in the art world is there? a crime or just morals or is art about art just art no matter what even if its just stupid
yeap a painting that was taken after a conversation i had with bill or more like he just rambles on about the art world cheapness and its fakery, . he had this painting i gave him way back a pig smoking and a chicken head was in the clouds, it was in this exhibit i had at brazosport, tx college, i think 2003, way back there , well he called me up and went on about these two paintings he had of mine, he likes to get drunk and call, i think going down on his death bed of drinking 65 years old partyier person,. well he calls up kinda like the rant i captured in that video painting with bill here below...
so i decied to make a painting after that one like a copy of it, from what i remember, .
the painting is about to be up on ebay whats its gonna go for , well more that 20 bucks, i think ebay is like now the disapproving father figure something to get mad at like its judgement to make you be a hoe and paint puppyies, etc," like i am not a hoe stop it , i am not your hoe , ok how much for what?" . So what else in the news
=====
One funny note about my net reputation, this is one for the book, that this woman i am seeing, who lives on the east coast want to move to Texas, well she just got devorced and her exe don't want to move that far away , they have kids, and one of the ways he tryed to get at her was has his lawery claim if she moves over here with this man,"chicken george" we have video evidance he is a drug addict , abuse wack job , this is grounds enough to be an unfit mother, ,.,.lol my utube vid are evidance lol, man, thats funny, i can image a lawyer and aid looking at my channel and sayin WTF this loser!, i ever wonder if they thought it was real,?
ahhh whatever , Texas passed "you lose you pay," you know what that means well..
