like jon said, im trying really fucking hard in the wrong place.
i feel better now, i hadnt even thought of trying anything outside of here - assuming if im not good enough for here, im not good enough anywhere. but all that i've tried and failed, proves im getting seriously teabagged here, and not in a good way.
this place sucks. there are so few GOOD people high up in any of the ... well, any art thing. My recent experiences (and what I've heard of yours) really seem to indicate that. Ten years ago, I think you'd have a better chance. But now everything feels stagnant. The people with vision have moved on, the people who are good at lingering around being mediocre about everything except the bottom line are in charge, and there's very little competition. It's totally stagnated.
I realized this as I inadvertently passed by some long-gone galleries that were decent - to - very exciting back in the day. The few positive replacements for all of the gone galleries have struggled, if they've survived at all. The place just feels dead.
And fuck it - if they gave those SLCC grants or whatever they were to a bunch of glass artists (like this state needs any more of those) from out of state, I say you go take over Omaha, NE.
I totally admire you for even trying and applying for all of the things you do. Sorry it hasn't worked out much yet :(.
You put that really well. I havent really been motivated to do anything in the last week or two, even though I have a lot to do.
Thanks so much for your encouragement, it means a lot to me :)
If you're not doing anything tonight and you're into some really dirty humor, bob is going to be performing at monk's.. we cant stay out too late though, drizzle has been having seizures and they happen late at night so we hate to be gone longer than we have to.
WTF? that is right, i used THE acronym for WHAT THE FUCK? you paint. that is what you do. and you do it well. weller even. if other people give you the shoulder, fuck em. paint more. paint them pinned under trucks with landscapes of river scenes flushing from their mouths like the vomit.
you need to get a portfolio of slides and start sending it out to smaller galleries in major markets like the chicago and the LA. contact me.
