The distant roar of thunder isn’t tomorrow’s nor’ easter, it’s anticipation for the upcoming art fairs. Combination art exhibit, trade convention, three ring circus, and endurance test – there’s something for everyone. Actually there’s more than enough for everyone. So choose wisely!

Came across an article about common errors that artists make when putting together an online portfolio. The author’s recommendations are spot on. I’ve seen a lot of good and bad sites since launching ArtinBrooklyn.com, and this is some great practical advice.

Apparently, there’s mad buzz about the press being there — namely TimeOut magazine. The Daily News has also contacted me, personally, twice for interviews about the show. So we’ll see what happens with all of that madness.. story developing…
In addition to the party and press — there will be an Independent documentary film crew there — taking footage for their docu on the 6 month progression of the Breukelen Coffee House starting this month and forward. So you can be a part of that, as well!

Clever and interesting work, but what struck me is seeing photos of many of these pieces was essentially the same as seeing the objects in person. I’ve seen the Bauhaus work in the next gallery several times but doubt I’ll be returning to see this exhibit. Once you “get” the concept behind the art, there’s not much left. Car cut in thirds and reassembled without the center. Four bikes connected by their head tubes and seat posts. Hanging whale skeleton inscribed with circles. You can easily visualize the work and it’s exactly what you’d imagine. Sometimes that’s not enough.
I’m honored to be featured as one of the “Park Slope 100” in Only The Blog Knows Brooklyn!
It’s been a fantastic year and you’ve helped to make it possible, so thank you!
I’ve gotten married, had my work featured in several exhibits, got a new art studio, revamped my website, started developing a new group of paintings (see one of my latest pieces above), and posted the work of 50 artists at the Art in Brooklyn website. Thanks for your interest in my work and please stay tuned for more exciting events in 2010!
Health and happiness to you and your loved ones in the New Year
