Yeap this is funny, whats about the link, is that this was one of the first couple of paintings ever listed on ebay, oddly it never sold off ebay either here check out this old link to my CDC site here--
the painting was sold locally to this older couple who bought a whole collection of my work back in 2005 , before i went to SA, it was a god send to get that big of a sale that time but alot of the pieces they got were a bit out there for them i felt ,so they relisted it or listed it along with another one on ebay, Funny thing about that painting was a lady who bought some of my work off ebay the first one, Lorna, she said somebody contacted her about that painting when she was buying a couple of my items, and told her look you know he did this ,Sick!,. so its returned some 9 years after the fact, - i have a feeling alot of my work will come back to where it came, i told Red there is like 600 plus pieces out there,.,
funny thing is there are a couple of peices like this up, right now
Bar Tard about the Cove is up and along with the first chicken bone piece i ever did, the same guy who is selling this one is selling the bar tard-- from the Cove bar,
and then some guy who bought two of the folk dual pieces about Red is flipping some
here
the value,.
So the value is set at a min 50 buck from here on out i guess if they want to flip the pieces i think its a record of the amount of resale chicken george on ebay six pieces wow, three seperate sellers, to, one of the pieces actually sold on old 1991 babtism painting i listed sold and it resold to somebody for 150,
I think form here on out the cheap shit id over on ebay unless its Friday 13th deal or something, which is comming up fast, and i ain't done shit yet
yeap and buy a Jolly chimp painting 150 a piece email me, gzupp-at- hotmail
i need some money,,
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
So folks
i guess since i was over in the brenham studio and needed something to do and i created this mini sketch painting set
So whats this set about well i will keep up load stuff to explain it "Two farmers argue over black Goat" click for link yeap you can see ol red looking at this other farmer as he eyeballing his goat, ," i think there is something i get in trouble about eye ballling or looking , people notice it when you look, maybe this a wierd culture thing,. One of the funny things about being in Redford was i was reminded how white i was, not me notice in who is around but , these selected folks who like to point out culturel differance, one was "Anglos like to stair you down , as opposed to Hispanics who never look at each other" there is a whole back ground to is as White folks like to dominate , look here i one thing they do,. Farmer i guess since they are dealing with the farm and stock get personal about what they are doing and picky especialy when two run up on each other and start arguing over farm stuff, i wish i had some utube vids on that stuff.
chickengeorge and Red sit on a porch and bs about the rats that were cought in a trap, and a dust devil happens comes upon them, and we alugh our ass off... Red if you happen to see this there is a going to be an installation made on this piece!
Well i guess still over ten years ,
its still there this old fake abobe , which was the stage set for the tv movie "the streets of Laredo" .. called Crow town
So what else is going on , hummm well after last night, me and justin went to the site and came back here, and
