If I make a comment...I make sure to go out of my way to own what I say yo!
It really bugs me to get anonymous comments on my web sites...but I'm really confounded by art patrons who don't want anyone to know who they are.
Let me tell ya a little story that warms my heart....
Once upon a time a Mr.James McNulty bought three paintings from me.
He picked the three out of maybe 35 Rubber Chicken Paintings that were showing at a large Ale House in North East Portland.
The large paintings set him back a few hundred bucks and I asked him if it was an investment.
He told me that he was looking forward to when all the Rubber Chicken Paintings get collected together for a giant gallery show.
He told me that he always wanted to have his art possessions borrowed by a gallery and a sign under the paintings reading "On Loan from a private collector" beautiful man!
I can see him quietly standing there with his hand on his chin, smirking and doing just that in many years.
I sold a three hundred dollar Rubber Chicken Painting recently.
The sale took over the last three days and a grip of phone calls to solidify and it came with some goofy restrictions.
My painting will live in a private room where a club meets and will not be shown to the public.
I can't show you the painting (but I can say that it was set in the American Revolutionary Wars Era) no photos.
The crummiest part is I can't say who bought it ;the nickname she gave me wasn't very flattering.
I don't actually know where the painting now lives so this will be one of many Chicken Paintings that I may never see again.
Thank You Patron X thanks for being so understanding about how bitchy I got $300 is a lot of bread for my babies and I'm soooooo grateful!
I guess I'm just sucky at secrets so I don't like them very much.
I think you should sign your name on wat you create but one form of signing your name has always pissed me off.
Tagging!
When I see some one has scrawled a name on a wall it just makes them look stupid.
Taggers...when you do that ugly mess I feel sorry for you...and embarrassed for you.
Why sign your name on a wall you didn't build?
Out of context what you "throw up" makes you look like a knuckle dragging ape!
What an identity crisis if you have to constantly remind yourself what your name is.
Art is art...crap is crap...everyone is a critic.
on the reverse...I have seen many wonderful masterpieces on freeways and bridges that defiantly SHOULD have been signed.
Thank You Partron X
This is one of the Chicken Paintings that I bartered with
It's called "Invasion Fleet" and I traded it for storage service during one of the times the bottom fell out of my life.
