Hello Kids!
just a quickie drive-by before i get to the studio and tag up everything for the big Kona swordfish show tomorrow.
if you don't know about it,then you're probably lame! :lol:
Looks like a huge crowd comin!
MDM-i think it's finally sinking in...
smaller,accessible art
- gives you a little extra coinage
- gets the pieces out there-thus widening exposure
Normal person-NO
Artist-YES
the more you think of yourself as an artist
the more you steer towards it
and the more you feel a responsibility to art
to practice and improve and inspire others...
werd...
. Would it be such a bad thing if 75% of the people in America recognized Kinny's work when they saw it at the mall?
it would be a bad thing if 75% of them recognized me!! :o
i would think the work is edgy and odd enough to go over a lot of people's heads... but some people just like the work for the art and completely gloss over the theme/message,so i dunno...
By the way-your war club mug turned out pretty good! it does have a Cavemanny kind of feel to it! GROG needs one!
Kiki-i'd be afraid all my friends would buy those dolls
and perform malicious voodoo on them...not worth the risk! :lol:
and thanks again for doing a lil research for me.
i appreciate it a lot!
The more we all work as a unit
the more we all can achieve our dreams!
Bedsheets and Towels...fun! fun!
Tikishark puts out some incredible towels-so does Drew brophy!
I think bigToe Towels would be way cool too!
i think i can recognize satire with
the Disney comments and stuff...duuuuuuuh! :)
momma didn't raise no dummy!
thanks for all the help,advice,and encouragement!
You're not going to turn yourself into the next Thomas Kincade by selling a few prints.
i know! i'll have to step it up a bit if i want to hit the stature of my hero..
ravers-Moai and NOM NOM dolls would be sweet!
They could battle the GROG action figure! :lol:
all y'alls crack me up! thank you! :)
Jonesy-you are a treasure!
Kudos on your contribution to that mug book! :) :) :)
It'll have to do until the 1000 page tome :lol:
i will listen to my head and heart
and not to fools
because there is the biggest fool of all within. :lol:
Crab Mentality!
Learn something new everyday!
That's the beauty of this community and
the TC Mutual Inspiration Pact...
I see so many great artists/carvers/collectors/intellectuals/doers/etc
Collectively,we all are aware of helping each other
be it organizing a show or event
answering questions/providing information and inspiration!
or hooking a bruthah up with a good drywall installer
it seems all these crabs are slowly organizing and planning
planning a way out....a way to the next generation
sounds so Utopian,but i believe we've been built with
the need to interact and the urge to be helpful..
“we all like to see our friends get ahead, but not too far ahead."
that's exactly how i feel about Clysdalle! :lol:
and Toe! and TikiShark! and...
Am i writing this out loud?
OOPS!
:lol:
heart you jonesy!
you are the thinking man's thinking man...i think! :)
Well, what started as a drive-by turned into a full-blown commentary!
Thank you all for your advice,encouragement,help,and laughter!
i can feels the love!
Still gotta get to the studio /after a library visit/
and then i gotta tag stuff for the KONA show!
I may not get any time to paint! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
here's 4 new pieces i banged out for the vending portion of the KONA show! i'll be selling these and only a couple more paintings and a TON of drawings!!!
I'll even have a SUPER MAGICAL BOX OF BARGAINS!
so be on the lookout! :)
to save time...these are all painted with BAMBOO BEN frames!
you heard the motto "BAMBOO BEN frames make ANY art look good!"
you haven't? that's cause i made it up! :lol:
and they're either acrylic or gouache on WOOD!
