Blog

      I did a long comprehensive blog about 2017 and forgot about it. I have no idea who gets to see my blog. I sure don't see anyone else's.

So here goes. I just may use this as a stream of consciousness for what's going on with my art right now. For those who have not followed my path, I am a fine art humorist.

     Yes, often it "don't get no respect" but most of the time the feedkback I get is "Your art makes me happy!"

     Could I ask for more than that? Am I in museums? No. Am I sought after in fancy schmancy NY galleries? No. But have I sold over 400,000 of my art works in my long career.? Yessir. So somebody must love what I do. And I sure what to keep doing what I do, but bigger and more out there.

    For starters, I wanted to jump into the burgeoning marijuana market with artwork that would tickle the tokers. Excuse my poetic  side.

I noted that there were, at the time, 9 states that went "legal" and so I jumped in with "Coloweedo" and "Arizoned Out" and "Mount Puffmore" plus a few others. Whoa! All of a sudden there were 19 states and I was falling way behind. The ones I did were funny and on the money- there's that poet itch again. "Coloweedo" sold at one of my art shows to a young guy and he got a really good one there. The prints are not selling that well but time will tell.

    Then somehow, without drugs or booze I landed on an existential truth. We all need to have a good reason to live, don't we? Most people's work does not do it. Family, love, service, creativity those are all good candidates for choosing a main reason. So I decided to pick 6 important reasons: art, dance, motherhood, nursing and first responders. But my funny side chose  to visualize them with a full grown porpoise on the back of each person. Yes, I said a full grown porpoise. It is a most unusual sight. But when you read the title, the humor and truth of it all coming at you. You see, Life Is Better When You Have A Porpoise.      Well, isn't it?

     I rest my case.
