Art Con
Lots of good people came to Art Con's SEED. Great Music and some really good journal art from It’s truly awesome, to work along side the founders and the people that work for pure reward of giving back to the community.
Erica, Andrea, Cari, SJ, Karla, Leah, Jason, Paul, Serena, and ALL of the volunteers---truly rock the house!
I will eventually post the journal I made. Got some really great images out of it. Here is page #111 out of 192. ---The idea was to explore media as its own entity. The conflicting views that were served on a daily basis, and that we parse through. Organizing those thoughts in 192 pages of pure moleskin action--FUN.
Stay Tuned for the December Event.

Art Narc: Bad Artist Statements
an excerpt from::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Art Narc: Bad Artist Statements
by Beth Secor
June 2008
Please Never Say That Again or I Am Going to Have to Kill You
Sentences (or things that look sort of like sentences) to never ever use in your artist statement
I love art, for me it is a way to live.
A way for me to live is to never read this sentence again.
Self proclaimed “Artist for Life” [Jane Doe] feels that her art is derived from living.
It’s really hard to paint when you are dead. Unless somebody tapes a brush in your hand, and then I guess you could, kind of like de Kooning, but more dead.
Painting is my real life’s path.
You should really wait until it dries, or else you are going to track that shit all over the house.
I believe we can see beautiful art everywhere we look. I believe that by opening people to new experiences and ideas, it can open their arts to others.
Also their ivers and their idneys.
The most important thing is to be truthful to your own expression, to your own unique life.
I think in this particular instance, it would help you more if you lied.
Like this person for example:
Her works are found in private collections and some of the most famous museums in nations throughout the world
…but don’t ask me which ones because then I would have to kill you.
----hilarious.
