Oops...
I've decided to trash that last piece of art. I might try to revive it from an earlier stage...it's refreshing, actually, to do a bupkee.I DID however, do an awesome compilation tihs morning, with some of my favorite artists and a few new people like the Delgados. I had an file that was corrupted, so I just ordered a new one from Amazon for 99 cents. So glad I don't have to go to Itunes. Decided never to order an album again after getting a Rufus Wainright and not being thrilled with every song (so far there's only two that I like from the whole album). This new model for music distribution is cool. I never thought I'd say that.
Anyway I think I need a little break from art for a while. And I need to sell it for $$$$ - so sick of getting accolades but no sales. My neighbor wants one "free", even though I've already given her a limited framed edition for free. I guess it's time I stop being a chump.
The weather today is coolish. Had some cool dreams this morning that I don't remember. Been doing that a lot lately. Made my juice this morning, as well as a salad, first time I've done that in WAY too long. Sent an email to Rex Bruce last night explaining that it's cool if I don't get juried in, of course what I really want is a solo show.
The weekend was fun, I met a guy that I "forgot" I knew, Larry, for tea and a bite of food. I think I already spoke in a previous blog about how I thought I was calling the mold guy and got a lawyer instead. An environmental lawyer who fights big corporations that do toxic waste dumps, which is cool. That went ok (I'm don't have chemistry with him in *that way*, but I do really enjoy his company, we had a relaxed, fun time and joked a lot). I then went to an opening of Cindy & Keith's over at SOPA gallery, coinciding with the Pasadena artwalk. I bumped into Diane - she and her pals wanted to go listen to live jazz. I bumped into Joseph De Mario there, which was a bit awkward. I said "hey lets let bygones be bygones, ok?" He replied "I don't hold grudges." When I told Cindy that she couldn't stop laughing. Yeah. After telling me the only reason he doesn't get attention for his art and I do is "he doesn't have a pussy." The fact that he, after all this time, still thinks I'm in the wrong, is very revealing. Can't even own up to his part in that (and yes, I gave him plenty of opportunity to apologize, and instead I got vituperous, nasty emails and voicemails). I guess you can't always win, although burning people in the art world is not my desire or intention. The more you're in the art world, the smaller it gets.
Anyhoo Sunday was fun, although I was dead tired when the day was done. Didn't get home til' late. This Sunday is a party over at Diana's for Michael Arata. Have a few more pieces for Diana too. She's going to have quite a few by the time we're done. Now I just need by neighbor to buy one!
