Saturday was an eventful day in Cleveland art and it also was my first class as a newly enrolled student at the Plum Academy. I transferred from being homeschooled in the arts, generally practicing artistic visual and verbal witchcraft in my garage, to a film watching dialogue engaging cultural participant. It was the PA’s goal [...]

This weekend is again jamming with visual to-do’s. I am excited to see consecutive weekends with so many happenings. Lets run down a few.
The “Ingenuity” fall season spawn is happening Friday and Saturday. The Bridge Project is upon us and looks to be a post boom trend of transforming un-used utilitarian spaces into creative venues. [...]

Posted in Misc. on September 22, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Opened my mailbox yesterday and found my regular stack of forest killers. Pottery Barn Fall preview 8, Land of Nod expensive stuff for your kids to grow out of in 3 months, Mary Venderbeeks Great Deals or something, and my guilty pleasure, Jcrew. Got to tell you and I am not ashamed, I wear Jcrew. [...]
FW: 12 Ways to Gain Visability in the Fine Art Photography World.
Posted in Being an Artist, Essays, Photography, tagged Essays, Photography on September 17, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Lets face it there are a ton of opportunities for emerging photographer/artists. I used to think that living in Cleveland would make it all but impossible to gain any recognition as an artist. Lately, I have been feeling a little different. The accessibility to like minded people and the digital studio space of a personal [...]

Dust off your eyeballs and pull your brain out of that hat box on the top shelf of your closet because Friday night is bloated with art openings. I mean seriously there are so many openings tomorrow that I even got a press release from the Marathon Station up the street exclaiming their group show [...]
Working Toward Gallery Representation

I read once that reading an artist’s C/V is like reading tea leaves, well not really like prophecy but rather it can be a road map for a young artist and a guide on the foggy journey to a successful art career. Take any artist you identify with and read their CV, go back all [...]
JKR: Rick Prol Studio Visit plus my YouTube addiction
Posted in Being an Artist, Interviews, Painting on September 4, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I haven’t been able to get out to see a whole lot of art lately for various reasons and responsibilities. The upside is I have been endlessly trolling YouTube. Its like a wondeful video rabbit hole. You can get lost for days in “the tube”. Which I have but I’m clean [...]
