Christmas sale and post show

It's annoying dealing with those who've been generous to you financially, but can be complete bastards who freak out at the sight of booze or a floppy tit.

The BFA show went alright, there were some hiccups from two colleagues, and the weather made it a really weird night to have a show. I was forced to censor one of my works a professor begged to have in. It's funny really. The professors could really give a damn about nudity or whatever kind of shit that's deemed offensive as long as it isn't obnoxious like the guy who did the crucifix in piss. However the super higher ups on campus are ridiculously Baptist and more conservative than some friends of mine. They freak out with tit and brandy bottles in work, and gave one of my colleagues in the masters program so much shit for his work. He found a way to get around it, since a lot of messages seem to go over their head. They're really hyperaware of nakedness and sex that they don't pay attention to subtle shit.

The linoleum carving of the couple in the park was framed and ready to go for the show, and few people got what it meant. Some thought it meant blowjob, but that wasn't the message I was getting at. However what you interpret kind of reflects the state of your mind/soul. Two colleagues ended up running their mouths saying the piece was about blowing, the director took another look and begrudgingly asked to have something else put in. A colleague told me who did it, and a mild fight brewed about how ridiculous these Baptist higher ups are. The paranoia piece got censored, but I got to be a smartass about it and taped black censor bars on it.

Either way the show was a hit, and the colleagues that ran their mouths are annoyed that people don't talk about their work. With that and the impending graduation day I'm doing a sale in the store!

Since I got messages from people outside the states wanting stuff, but shipping was ridiculously stupid I'm doing a free shipping special! This sale starts now up until December 13th 11:00 pm central!

Check out the store here, you will need a code and the code is "xmas". Message me if there's any troubles!

Hope thanksgiving was alright for the rest of you. :)

Do you have a link to the linoleum carving of the couple in the park?

Sorry I haven't been keeping up, I'm due to move soon, and as I'm an old guy, got a lot of stuff to shift! It's been too complex.... still is. Really glad to hear the show was a hit, i"m sure you learned a lot about the kinda crowd that attends these things, what might go down better next time around. It's funny what people see in things... we all come from interesting premises

moving can be a huge pain in teh ass, or an adventure. i guess it depends if it's something good, or if you have a bunch of kids and a fat wife to take along too. No it was funny seeing those 2 show their colors and everyone knows.the girl who ran her mouth is known to steal ideas and had a husband who basically had a secure job and wants her to have kids, but she wants to play sexy eccentric artist even though she's a heffer.

Lol, I'm glad there's some good reviewers here, otherwise I would've forgotten about Munsch and his work... never took art in school, but luckily before junior high school, we saw examples of famous works, even went to a museum or two.

Never had kids or a wife, but there was one or two ladies I might've taken the vow with. Fate or free will? Meh, I've run into quite a few types over the years as well, not too many in the upper middle class though. The ones who want you to work for nothing, or expect a bribe are really a hoot to deal with, so long as you peg them for who they are early, before they get what they want...

there's this wing place 20 minutes from where i live that used to have weird work from dali, picasso, some munch, and one weird painting form some rennisance guy when i was a kid. they remodled the place and got rid of the shitty bar esque red carpet and art which is sad, but it was weird seeing that at a frumpy wing place. though their wings are really good.

most guys are afraid of walking the isle and i don't blame them because divorce and girlies taking them to the cleaners. Then again most people confuse love n lust and have shit taste in partners. sure they look pretty but they have the personality of a termite, or they're super incompatible/immature/more selfish then an obese swine and should not have kids, or they wants the family but don't want to settle down. think of fitting a circle in a square shaped hole. or some double minded pig.

Yeah, it sucks that more places don't show art :( It's like they're afraid of pissing off some small minded, politically correct, panty waist, who wants to save the world from free thought :\ Used to love the murals in high school.. now all I see are shitty, vaguely witty ads :p

Hmm, after reading it twice, yeah, I've seen that happen before, guess it's just another reason I'm reticent to get into a relationship... not that I'm that much of a catch anyway (ugh, there's a Thanksgiving picture of me on my blog page, if curious). I'd like to think my being a Libra would be an asset in a LTR kinda thing, symmetry and all that

That's in public. There's no grey areas there's black and whites since really stupid people think everything's in black and white. wither it's godly or you have to be obnoxiously offensive. it's so stupid and it makes me want to swallow some benadryl.

It's funny since there's a grain of truth in those astrological signs. although they say aquarius's are sex maniacs n good in the sack, yet i boarder between being totally repulsed by teh act, or only doing it with someone i really really love, which is a rare thing in itself. most men where i'm at are single, or a clone of me. if i wanted a parrot i'd buy one. but really petty issues, i'm not an easy person to handle but that's another story.

So many thought provoking things and stories to discuss... uber busy trying to save what i can from the family home - 3 generations of stuff in 2 houses, 3 garages, a barn and 2 out buildings.

linda-mota 2014-11-30 20:26:39
