Title: say word!!!!
Post by: rookie on June 30, 2010, 11:11:04 AM
I totally just got featured on the home page of RTist.com (http://www.rtist.com).
(see "Love for the Game" by Kelly)

An admin at the site sent me a message notifying me about it, and complimenting me on my work :]

I just set up my account (http://www.rtist.com/index.php/public_profile/artist/2821) two days ago.  can you believe it!?

Thank you all  :D


I will definitely be back to update this thread.  It's been a while since I've been around this board ._.  admittedly most of my time on the net is spent on facebook, or clicking links on reddit.  And now I believe that I've reached a point where I'm going to begin trying to market myself...and that's exciting.

We'll see how it goes.  I already sold 3 paintings, and potentially a fourth :)

shit's insane.

It looks like you have some ADHD problems, cuz no matter how much I explain things, you always fuck it up.

STOP THE MISINFORMATION!

I currently live with with my parents...outside of Toronto in a "cottage country" type of area, where a lot of rich people live. Pretty soon, when I move back to Toronto, I will have to live with a roommate, cuz the government will only give me just under a $1000/month, which will not be enough for me to live on my own ...while living off the taxpayer's buck, which I am entitled too, cuz ...my medical records show that I have a "disability", and therefore qualify for "Disability Benefits", indefinitely.

EDIT: Are you a Canadian?

And congrats Baker ...on the sales. Are you selling those paintings for $75 bucks ...like the website says???? Dude...that's way too cheap. If artists find out that you are selling yer paintings that cheap, then they will start to talk trash about you, regardless of whether they think yer work is good or not.

How did you come to the decision that yer paintings are worth only $75?

"EDIT: Are you a Canadian?"


   I'm a Canadian who works 3 jobs and I live in Alberta, a province where people actually work. You could easily come out to Alberta or Saskatchewan and make 50 grand a year but you want to live off the working man/women, social programs are meant to help people when the shit hits the fan for them, to help them when life fucks them around, not that I agree with those programs, I don't, they all need to be abolished. Life has not fucked you around, what's your "disability," ADD, ADHD? What made up fucking disability do you have? You didn't look like you had a disability when you were putting fags in your pubes, maybe your a fucking headcase, but what's new, most people from Ontario are. I don't know who is worse, you liberal retards from ontario or the frogs from quebec, Alberta needs to take the 12 billion we give the rest of Canada every year and leave the country.
   I rent a place to a single mother and her kid, she works two jobs and goes to college part time, she has to wait a year to get her deducted at source tax dollars back, while she waits her and her kid don't get enough to eat and go to the food bank. The taxes she pays goes to the welfare program you are leeching from. If she didn't have to pay taxes then chances are she would not be going to the food bank. It's people like you who suck the system dry. You want to change things? Get a fucking job and don't file a tax return, stop taking a government handout, especially if your parents are rich (cottage country, really, sound like millionaires to me, that is fucking pathetic). This single mother has to pay taxes and not eat as much as her and her kid should just so you can make art? Your sick.

If your art is so good princess that let the people decide, put your "art," up on Kickstarter and see if anyone funds your shit. My money is on you not having the fucking balls to do so.

First off...I am not going to post any art or whatever in that website you provided, because that it not part of my plan, and I think it would be a waste of time. I also question the validity of the website that Baker (The OP) has introduced to us. Maybe in my earlier days as an artist, I would participate in such things, but I know better now. In order to give yerself a chance at making it in the art world, the only way to do it is through creating a normal social network, by going to gallery shows and art parties, dinners, and things like that. It is also a waste of time to send submissions to art galleries, and juried art shows. Some years back, I did manage to get into a respected juried art show, but I have a feeling that I only got in the show because, at the time, I was volunteering at the gallery. The other girls who volunteered got into the show, too. Hmmn.....

I don't know what my "disability" is, but I'm sure that the doctors will give it some clinical name so that I can start living off the tax-payers' buck. Getting the free monies will give me the time to do the required networking if I want to make it as an artist. My Libertarian days are over...I'm just a debauched Libertine bohemian gypsy boy, now. Good for me. I'm not gonna risk my sanity, working some shit job just to show that I am contributing to society. Fuck society. I'll take money from whatever, now....I don't care. I'm also looking into government artist grants. Some of these grants will pay artists $2000/month for 2 years, if the artist can show that he/she is at a "pivotal point" in his/her artistic career!!!! I WANT ALL THAT FREE MONEY...AND MORE FREE MONEY!!!!!

I now realize that I have to hustle. Last year, when I was on Welfare for a half a year, I got a kind of weird pleasure knowing that I was getting free monies from a society that I basically despise. I felt as though receiving my government welfare cheques was like some sort of cosmic retribution. This society has done a good job keeping me down, but I liked getting money from the taxpayer for doing nothing. I want to get on society's nerves...it's about fucking time. I want society to hate me with every hate molecule society has in its body.

Society is saying, "How do we convince this good for nothing Cig N' Pubes motherfucker Richard to commit suicide? How come he hasn't killed himself, yet?" Ya....fuck you, society...give me the god damn money, and STFU.

There you go again with yer stupid wigger "dropping dime" talk.

(***NOTE: For the non-wigger, "dropping dime" means snitching on another individual.)

Like I said...my medical records show that I have a "disability". Just because I criticize the society, does not mean that I am no longer eligible for the free monies that I am entitled to, under "The Law".

Fagline...it's too bad you don't live in Canada, cuz I would take immense pleasure knowing that yer tax monies would be making its way into my pocket.

And congrats Baker ...on the sales. Are you selling those paintings for $75 bucks ...like the website says???? Dude...that's way too cheap. If artists find out that you are selling yer paintings that cheap, then they will start to talk trash about you, regardless of whether they think yer work is good or not.

How did you come to the decision that yer paintings are worth only $75?

I'm selling them that cheap, because I could really use the extra cash right now.  And I mean like; NOW :)
I can understand why they'd talk trash.  My mom recently ran into a guy who works at a museum over @ Yale while she was crankin' out her shift.  She had the opportunity to chat with him, and ended up showing him some of my work on facebook.  When she told him I was selling them like I was, he said I should really get in touch with some galleries, and curators...whatev.

Which is sensible, and I would really like to do that as well.  However; sometimes opportunities pop up, and you reach a fork in the road of your life where you can take one direction or the other.  I have a friend in Milwaukee who is about to relocate to San Diego.  One way ticket:  Selling his car.  Furniture.  Everything.

I've known him since high school, and we are both pursuing artistic ambitions.  He invited me to come out and crash it with him a few months ago.  It was random.  I thought he meant on vacation.  When he said he was going out to live there, I laughed and declined, but I have seriously been considering it since then.  I've been attempting to transfer my position to Wal Mart store in that area.  I told him when he gets out there and finds a place; I'll do everything I and to follow him out.

As ridiculous as it might sound; it just feels right on a cosmic level.

What you said Rich:  I gotta get myself out to a metro; but I need roomies.  And here it is--though I'd in all honestly rather book it to Brooklyn.

But San Diego seems to be nice.


And I'm gonna stick up for you here as well.  Your cig in pubes.  The ice tail---odd and eccentric as they may be--lol---I think they all had artistic merit.  I certainly seen compositional effort in all of it.  And this sex party.  made me laugh, man.

     and that's what it is...

TL;DR:  I'm flattered to hear I should be charging more...I'm not tryin' to shaft the art community; I'm just tryin' to book ass to San Diego.  Also; I am a fan of the ice tail.

You guys are hilarious.

My medical records show that I have a "problem", and a "disability". Therefore, I qualify for "Disability Benefits". I am entitled to the monies.

I highly doubt that you jackasses will have any influence in making my life more miserable.

The thing to remember is that I have fully been rejected by scumbags like you. I am not the scumbag, and my record will show it. I'm a good guy. I'll get the monies, and live off the dirtbags that tried to exploit me. What's wrong with that????

Just go do yer plumbing, and yer things...and forget about me.

In the Welfare world...I'm a fucking god! When I was on Welfare, my caseworkers found me refreshing, cuz I wouldn't give them any trouble, and I was always very organized ...and stuff. One of my caseworkers gave me an extra thousand dollars...even though I told her that I didn't need it!

On a daily basis, these welfare workers have to deal with the lowest of the low, and I feel sorry for the people who have to do that job. So...the welfare people love me because I am so nice and organized, and things.

You guys need to mind yer own fucking business.

Dude...you need to forget about San Diego, and go to New York...That's where all the action is. I'm a fuckin Canadian, and it's not easy for me to get to New York, but you can do it easily, since you are an Americano. That's where you gotta be.

Go to the New York Parties and all that shit....and give yerself a chance.

There is some really good advice from a somewhat washed up artist ...Mark Kostabi. He is most famous for designing the cover of the Guns N' Rose Choose Yer Illusion albums. Mark tells it like it is, and you can read his advice here:

http://www.artnet.com/Magazine/features/askmarkkostabi.asp

Even though a lot of people think that Mark is a loser.... his advice is still gold.

Everything that you need to know is in that link.

Since I'm in Toronto, it's going to be harder for me to get to New York, but I'll get there...eventually.

R3- this could be your finest piece yet.. as a statement on the struggles of the unstable artistic man being forced into roles cut out for the ordinary. The climax of the performance art will be the receipt of monetary funds for your work!

Charles- have you thought about putting images of your work (..I always have trouble using "work" when referring to art..) on a cd? Add a short bio, pack it all up with a cover letter and send it out all over. From what I know of the sculpture scene, you're likely to receive a lot of rejections before you get a couple invites to show your stuff. But once you're recognized and if enough people like your stuff, you may get commissions.

BTW...for the haters who are suggesting that they would like to "drop dime" aka "snitch" on me, and threats to send the Canadian IRS after me (which I find funny, cuz that's totally unrelated to what I'm talking about)....

The notion that I am trying to rip off the system is false. I am quite confidant the the doctors will give the government the go ahead to give me the $1000/month, cuz my medical records show that I have some kind of problem that makes it difficult to maintain a job, and my sporadic work history will give more proof that I am entitled to Disability Benefits.

Why you guys gotta hate so much on the "disabled" people, like me!??!?! Getting my $1000/month is going to be my sweet revenge on the hater taxpayer....The Hater that's been trying to keep me down for so long, and giving me nervous breakdowns, and shit. Now it's time to compensate me for all yer wrongs, so give me the god damn money...and STFU! ....and stop saying that I'm trying to rip off the system...or that I'm "lazy".

In Canada, lazy cunts on welfare get their lawyers paid for by the taxpayer, just like everything else. As for having a disability and not being able to work, I've had cancer for 5 months now and am still working, if anyone has a legitimate excuse not to work it's me, but I'm still working because I have something you don't have pube boy, work ethic. When the economic crisis deepens and governments go bankrupt we'll see how long your lazy ass keeps being lazy. My money is on you becoming a rent boy to keep a roof over your head and food in your gut. I honestly hope you make it as an artist but if you think the tax payer is going to continue to support you your so very wrong and in for a big surprise.

My hipster lawyer will expose whatever kind of bullshit you and yer dad tries to put on me, and that is a much more serious than yer bullshit claim that I am trying to rip off the system.

Well, I'm sorry to hear that you have cancer, John...but if you decide to get the Canadian IRS after me, then my hipster lawyer will expose you and the "immediate family" involved, and then lots of stress will come yer way.

The reality is that I need to take a break from work, and recover from a nervous breakdown I had a year and a half ago. I can tell that I am not ready to go back to work, and if I were to start working again, it would only make things worse for me. I even went back to work in the fall of last year, but had to quit 3 months into the job, cuz I recognized that I was in no condition to work.

This has been an ongoing problem for me for many years, and now I have decided that I should go see a bunch of doctors to figure out the best way to deal with my situation. It also means that I am eligible to receive $1000/month from the government so that I don't have to live with my parents, and do my own shit back in Toronto.

I have no idea how long it will be before I go back to work....that is something the doctors and I will have to figure out. But I am not going to risk another breakdown in the name of some bullshit WASP "work ethic".

Oh, yes indeed I have :)  I find that there are some pretty sweet sites that offer flash based display, which is appealing.  But I'd want to take the time to make it look good, and in the back of my head, I always knew I'd want an accumulation of work to start out with--and as I'm sure you've seen, I'm about at that point now.

Just a few short hours ago, I launched about a'score of invites to follow my own 'public figure' deal on fb...and that's a start.  I feel relatively accomplished right now.  It's like I took a year off school and to just work on developing style and getting comfortable with technique and media.

I think perhaps if/when I ever make it out to California, and have a bit of a layover in being able to produce physical art--then at that point I might find myself working on the old drawing pad with some concepts for templates and themes, and really start to get the ball rollin'

We'll See...I think even though I might stumble into a few dead ends, I'll prob'ly be movin' on up in the long run.

and RE: the CD package...yah.  yah; yup.  yeah.  yessir :)
even somehow incorporating track listing, and associating music that moves me with the portfolio.
Oh hell, yes.  so much of my time is constantly spent just thinking about things; and I am certainly a person who believes that presentation and theme count for a lot.

Nice- I'm outta the loop though.. why SD?

My friends idea.  He's in Milwaukee.  He told me he finally snapped this winter; couldn't take another season, and set his eyes of SD.  He's going down there with his current room mate.  I've known him since high school.  Good friend.  fellow artist who also happens to write.  I think there's strong potential for us to flow well together, and push each other creatively.

So he texted me in like April or May, asking if I was interested in heading out there.  I thought he meant on vacation; I laughed when he was wondering if I wanted to relocate.

then a few weeks later it hit me:  I not only feel a desire, but an urge to live in a large metro-area; and there was no good reason to pass up the opportunity.  I have no hangups whatsoever keeping me here in CT w/ the rents--why not?  So I texted him back with a simple; "San Diego.  Tell me more."

I've been dead set on getting there since then.  Pretty sure I might have secured a job-transfer through the company I work with too :)
Just gotta get my manager to call up their personnel dept. with a strong recommendation ;)


btw; thanks for adding my fb. page to your feed there.
also, here's a short poem I wrote about why I'm headed out west:

Fuck It!
My friend, he said, "Fuck it; I'm sick of this wind."
He dropped me a line and said, "Son, are you in?"

I laughed and dismissed it; "Are you out of your mind?
That shit's not my bag; but have a safe flight"

'bout three weeks had passed and I considered a dream:

I had of deserts and concrete covered with murals and paint;
riding down a freeway; I felt stunned and often awed...

I remembered the invitation and thought, "Fuck it...

Why the hell not?"






PS:  I really did have a dream that I woke up and recalled involving driving down a desert-freeway and gawking at huge painted murals underneath the overpasses.  That was over a year ago.  In short, Hb. ...  It just feels really right for me to get out there.  on a cosmic level.  I can't even explain it.
