Artists and Travel

Back in the day, artists’ best method of travel would be to hook up with a rich kid going on the Grand Tour. Basically, if you were rich a few centuries ago, you didn’t get a digital camera, you got a Travel Buddy/Artist Cam instead.
I pulled my own version of that on my trip to [...]

You can be Getting Things Done Fast!!

Today I spent 5.5 hours (Thanks, Itunes) on listening to David Allen’s Getting Things Done Fast.
Wow!
It advocates writing every tiny little thing down, and filing it, freeing up the RAM in your mind and memory to more important, creative things instead of reminding and remembering and stressing. If it’s filed somewhere to [...]

Pricing Paintings and other Work

Art work should be priced so that you can make a living from it.
That’s it.
There’s a lot of writing out there about how to price your work, rules and expectations and standards. I am not interested in doing research to find out how every other mediocre artist is pricing their work right now, because I [...]

Context: the Vag subject: Monet to Dali

dates, [...]

What's Stopping You From Hanging out with The Love of Your Life Every Day?

“Probably me.” is my answer.
I was asked, “What’s stopping you from drawing?”
I was so confused. I said, “Nothing….I get in trouble all the time for drawing. At work, when I was in school, you know, anytime I’m supposed to be doing something I’m drawing.”
But then I realized, I never sit down to draw. I go [...]

Face Trade: Movies for a Portrait

Surrounded by my peers, at say, art school, or an opening, I wouldn’t make any promises about being special.
