Yeah, paying to work totally sucks. I don't blame you for not wanting to do it anymore.

I like the new image of Rober and I like the spine jar, too!

I meant River. How the hell did I type Rober? I really need to proofread before I hit send. Sorry about that.

i'm askin'! i'm askin'!
just waiting for the regional arts and culture council to see that my work has value and should be funded.
the other stuff sells...sometimes quickly, sometimes slowly. it's all good.

i agree. sometimes it's just hard to keep going when you have to go in debt.

Compared to so many of your friends here I am so far removed from the world of art as to be completely ignorant of its inner workings so all I can say is I like this River pic VERY much and hope you get the grant.

the inner workings of the artworld are, actually, a little more complex than one might think. i operate within two systems: not-for-profits & universities, and market-oriented galleries. they do different things. i'm very, very tired of the former. lots and lots of work. you go in debt. and there's little return.

i have to think more about my money. i'm 50. no partner. no savings. hmmm...can you see trouble coming? i can.

Not having a pension of any sort to look forward to myself...not even social security since I never lived in the US long enough to work for a long enough time...I can empathize.

I hope it all works our for you!
