And the info for their launch party. I will be in attendance,

holes in their walls to hang a few paintings during the event...

In Memory Of Mr. Doug Moore

Every so often people inquire about where I get my
influences from. The truth is that among many other things, I
am quite certain this man had a lot to do with it. My
art/philosophy teacher through grades 6, 11, 12, and OAC.
Probably the one art teacher I spent the most time with. And
every so often someone will come along and tell me how famous
they think I'm going to be, he was maybe the very first person
who would think so. He showed me nothing can stop you from
being amazing. He passed away not too long ago, so I guess
you could say this is a eulogy blog post. On the top is one of his
pictures, and under that is a picture of him. Top favorite lesson I
learned was him throwing out one of my paintings because I really
had done it last minute, the paint hadn't even dried yet - not
worth doing if your heart's not in it.

ART ROOMS ARE FOR MAKING ART
ART ROOMS ARE SAFE

LISA NG GOES BACK TO WORK

Since deciding to go on a creativity sharing strike January, 16, 2010, exactly three months ago, some moderate negoiation with the universe has taken place. A vote as to decide if the strike would continue was held today, March 16, 2010.
Results concluded that 62% of Lisa voted con strike with the remaining 38% voted pro strike. 72% of voters in favor of the strike came from Lisa's upper extremities.
Updates pending.

CREATIVITY SHARING STRIKE RE-VOTE: MARCH 16

STRIKE UPDATE

Since deciding to strike, eye have turned down
three shows. Negotiaons with the universe have
begun. It has bin generating at least sum mild
attention: In the past 2.5 weeks eye have been
approached to submit pictures two a website that
aren't up yet, May B bee in a 3-6 minute film,
meat to further discuss a project for mass
production that hasn't happened yet, and I did one
interview, got called to do another one, then got
turned down by the same won, and have 2
prospects for doing 1 more.

It has also recently occurred to me that I might
need to make more specific goals. For instance, one
example might be health benefits, specifically for
eyewear. For how can I paint my pictures with my
i sight so blurry. Maybe I should consult my health
care provider, ore LensCrafters.

The strike also seems to be generating some
more very popular and interesting questions. I
shall answer them now:

FAQ

Why the strike?
You can't get what you want unless you ask for it.

How much longer do you project the strike to last?
Undecided, but I have an inkling there will be
another vote in at least by two months.

How many people are voting?
Just me.

Are you still painting?
Of course.

Can you tell me about it?
It's four feet by three feet, a very warm one, to help
with the bitter cold.

Did you get screwed over recently?

Nothing out of the ordinary that I can recall.
Yet, generally all day every day because it's never going to
be worth more than when I'm dead.







Anyway, thanks four reading, asking, and all the support.
