Cat scratch fever and why did the animal cross the road?

Spend any inordinate amount of time on facebook and you'll see a lot of this....only it's in printed format on a computer screen. I wonder if this would be so prevalent in person with face to face confrontations?

I had this picture up as my profile picture for awhile because I really identify with that little guy who doesn't want to hang in that herd back there and is going to cross the street and do his own thing. Maybe hitchhike or go eat daisies in someones garden. Either way he is not down with a big group, clique, herd... and has his own thoughts about what suits him. I have never had good experiences with large groups that all think the same thing and think you should too. 
And when I log onto facebook first thing in the morning with my cup of coffee in hand I liken it to opening my front door to see how the day is, whats the weather, how are my friends? If I get run over immediately by a big ol' POLITICAL turd post (umm, repeatedly) I block you from my newsfeed. How about a good morning? You repeat political posters DO KNOW your "hobby" is posting on facebook to people who already subscribe to your idealogy or don't, right?  And the ones who don't... AREN'T going to be swayed. So the point is? Get a journal. Get a garden. Have something to show at the end of the day for your labors...a new tomato plant or a lasagna you baked. You probably like the fun of fighting so maybe a ROCK EM SOCK EM ROBOT set would be something to put on your list to Santa (PLEASE!!!).
 Just a thought!
On the flipside of that I can just not log in first thing in the A.M to become nauseated  before I've even had my Wheaties.

    I had an epiphany last night: Facebook is like dealing with EVERYONE you know....EVERY SINGLE DAY! While that's desirable with some people...others, not so much. :)

    I've de-herded myself a lot lately. In some respects....it feels good.

How I had the best art year

  This was the year I got rejection letters from every open call I applied to. Granted, it wasn't very many I applied to because I am very picky about what I sign up for AND I am also very jaded about these things of late.  However, this was my best art year to date and I kinda love that it was all rejection notices this year and I STILL HAD THE BEST ART YEAR EVER. Takeaway: Today's open calls are very "agenda based" and the jurors they choose to judge have their agendas. Some want more millennials and younger artists and shun the older artists, some want you to tackle race, gender identity, politics, feminist, pro this or that.... And my art does not. I'm going to stick by  my "Nature is more important than most bullshit" stance till I die because the very atom of life and Nature is more important in my eyes than most of the stuff humans do to feel more important than another group.  But I digress! I did not get into the velvet rope clubs and it was gre

So what's the Scenario?

Street Artist 'My Dog Sighs' Paints Faces on Cans Found Littered on the Street I found this interesting art on Pinterest and thought it would be a good example for a proposed scenario.....indulge me if you will.... The scenario is this....this street artist paints on cans. Pretty cool right? Pretty neat! He's probably not the only one who paints on cans in the world but he most likely is the only one in his little neck of the woods and art circle. Ok, let's pretend I invite this CAN painter to be in this big group show we do annually at my gallery. (This is pretend land, I dont have a gallery but roll with me...)  Ok, he is a hit, everyone thinks his can faces are awesome and he's considered pretty unique for doing this medium in our little art circle. Ok fast forward into the future....it's a year later and it's time for our big annual show...here's the scenario....we don't invite the CAN artist to come show again BUT we do hand out a can

Year of the Dragon

  First off, Happy New Year to my blog readers! Not sure if I actually have blog readers but if I do- I wish you well! We are coming up on the Chinese Lunar New Year and it's Year of the Dragon! I jumped into the year at a crazy pace and really need to pace myself for ALL THE THINGS I'm trying to accomplish. First off it was very important to me to launch a couple things and explore some other platforms. Those being: Tiktok, Patreon and YouTube I'll go on to say that I actually did not want to do any of these. I repeat DID NOT WANT TO DO THESE.  *Didn't think I was worthy for people to pay me on Patreon and also thought creating perks for people monthly was a lot of work. So far ...IT IS A LOT OF WORK....but I am new and growing from the ground up and that's how it is. Growing pains! I'm working to learn and streamline this so it goes hand in hand with... *YouTube channel! Who actually does not enjoy seeing my weird face and voice in a video? Hi. ME. I really di
