eviction blues | (Link)

hi! & thank you stacey.
...any help selling the art pile would be appreciated, miraculous even, (if you know any art dealers, as you very possibly might) and so enable my getting a place to go to... presently, it's over 240 pieces, closer to 250. web-related art originals has got to be as contemporarily commodifiable as um... election ballots at the very least, no? halp.

thank you stacey. remember, time's short fer me. my contact info's linked right there in the post. i just wish i knew more about the bizz... the pile's at the electric chair gallery here in OKC right now, ostensibly for a show that never happened. i wish i knew some real art dealers. i've called around here but this is after all OKC... -if you could call this evening, i'd appreciate it; i could use any and all advice i can get. i'm looking to sell the whole pile, not piece it out in dribs and drabs....
thanks.......

I'm afraid I'm not going to be in this evening, J. So sorry. I don't know that I'd have much to tell you in terms of art dealers. The best advice I can give you is to get out there and do a lot of self promotion...join LJ art communities, use Craigslist, look up art dealers on the web, et al....Your work is so good. You will be able to move it. You just have to put a lot of energy into it. ![[User Picture]](http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/96314852/15943) | From: zuma 2007-03-25 06:55 pm (UTC)

thank you. i don't know that LJ art communities will get the pile sold in a day or two, and i don't know anything about craigslist. on the 31st, everything here, my huge drawingtable, my tools, supplies, computers, art stack, not to mention clothes, furnishings et al will be out of my hands. no car, bucks, job, or friends in this town that can help. it's a serious bind and my art pile at the electric chair is all i have going for me. 250 pieces of good work. it's all i am, have, and can speak of. i had the admittedly slim hope that there in the Bay area, you'd know someone more amenable to my sort of work than any here.
thank you again, stacey.

My friend, Wes, is in Oklahoma. He might be able to store some of your stuff for you in his RV. Not sure. wesclimer@yahoo.com ![[User Picture]](http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/96314852/15943) | From: zuma 2007-03-25 07:12 pm (UTC)

i appreciate that. i'll write him and say hello. any friend of yours is appreciable to know and all connections are always welcome.
thanks once again, Stacey.
i was reading your post and saw you mentioned craigslist re: the prospect of moving. i'll have to look into this craigslist thing of course. a new addition to my flist, crystalstarr, mentioned it in her LJ, about finding and getting a drawing commision there. i wish i'd heard of this a year ago...

Sadly, I know precisely jack about getting art sold.
How many pieces are we talking about here? ![[User Picture]](http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/96314852/15943) | From: zuma 2007-03-25 07:50 pm (UTC)
250 | (Link)

approximately 250. those are the pieces related to this LJ (which is what i figure/hope makes their sale viable -blogs are hot, right? *koff*) sitting in a back room at The Electric Chair gallery. i wish to sell the whole lot at one go rather than piece it out and maybe sell a few, breaking up the lot and making next to nothing. if i could sell the whole lot, they'd be going for a pittance but it'd be worth it, that is get me out of this jam and buy me enough time to get back on my feet. bottom line price? i tremble to say. 3 grand. that's 12 bucks per.
i also have a 3 foot pile here at the house of general works done over my lifetime, left over from my overly generous ways -i've given away far far too much. unsure of their saleability, given they're unpublished and i'm an unknown.
Woof. More than I can consider doing personally. Are they framed? If it's a question of selling or trashing them and they can fit into a reasonably small amount of space (ie: no frames), I'd be happy to just hold them until you've got a place to put them -- but you'd need to send them to SF somehow... ![[User Picture]](http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/51786714/15943) | From: zuma 2007-03-26 04:23 am (UTC)
to the blankness | (Link)

i fell out midafternoon, getting much badly needed sleep. nice to be rested. no, not framed. (boy, that'd be a lot of pictures to frame.) nope, not a question of trashing them, heaven forbid. boy, if i wasn't in a bind and could afford to just give them to you, i would love to do so. (i'm like that. i'm so bad. see why i've little left of my own work?) regardless, i appreciate you so much, nathan. always have. i have this crazy notion that somewhere is an art dealer who could make a killing buying the collection for a song and then selling enough of the pieces to profit well. vanity, vanity, i know. (desperation too, ha!) somehwere... ...the Bay area sure seems to figure prominently today in this post. i so wish i was there rather than okalahoma city when it comes to art sales... my girlfriend's son-in-law, mark white, is a painter. he's had some shows at the Electric Chair gallery ( http://zuma.vip.warped.com/mark_white/nnmdb/) and subsequently sold work to california and texas. but it's been tough, as you can imagine. he and i both have wished we lived where we could sell and have so co-commiserated often enough... http://gigabyte-jones.livejournal.com/somehow, some way, i'll get out of this jam. i, of course, must, for all practical result, but also simply because it's more than the challenge for my life, it's the vain challenge of my life. such is life indeed, and excitingly so as ever as for all. (god help me tho, should ana run off a check to me and say 'okay john, send me the pile', as the irony would kill me from my unendingly laughing while i happily complied.) vanity, vanity... thank you for showing up here. that alone encourages greatly. that such as you care is a very very great part of the emotional content of my humble works. no lie. what i do is too a response to the white paper. to the blankness. blank is beautiful. as you know. much love to you, sir. ![[User Picture]](http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/96314852/15943) | From: zuma 2007-03-26 05:15 am (UTC)

Comic Books, Professional Blogging, Confusion Vs. Seduction Of The Innocents | (Link)

http://dr-memory.livejournal.com/127771.html--- i appreciated the 'moebius-esque' adjective and enjoyed that you linked it to his wikipedia entry. i also appreciated the commenter's confusion, that is that it was understandable. as i say to christine mooers elsewhere in this comment page, comic books is a lesser topic for me here today, not even tangentally related. my posts aren't always clearly organized as one might find on a more professional blog. i thought it was this time but apparently not. if i had now the time, i've well considered using Wordpress on my site and establishing such a professional blog... but then i'd have to properly type and use capitalization and everything. ahem. ![[User Picture]](http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/96314852/15943) | From: zuma 2007-04-11 06:47 am (UTC)

my gosh, christine, my challenges pale next to those of john's, no matter he's off to kuwait than iraq. having to buy his own ticket, my god, how galling. i pray he eventually does get reimbursed. i pray that all this works out somehow for all our enlisted people everywhere. bless you. god bless you both.
...your t-shirt idea is very seriously good.
Feel free to steal the idea and set up a cafe press account with it...
We will get reimbursed for it, we just have to keep sending the paperwork and bugging them. I've already complained to his command.

I thought Cap disappeared when he grabbed the Red Skull and jumped into a dimensional portal. Somehow they brought him back from that for the next run, I guess. Even Superman got killed and then came back. It's like soap opera characters...

Superman, Red Son | (Link)
|
true, but the context here, Marvel's Civil Wars title, is outside their regular ongoing soap. for me, this comic book page speaks well on abstractions, america, and ideals. the secondary item or subtheme to this post is comic books (or at least they've recently regained my attention) and i'm glad you raised Superman as i'd a link i'd wanted to include somewhere and here's really good. thanky. http://theages.superman.ws/History/redson/this page led me to all things Superman, and all that's involved in the eternal cooking of that particular soap opera franchise. they sure don't play with the mythology lightly any more, as grant morrison explained in an interview linked via there somewhere. plus i got to read old silver age issues and enjoyed reliving my youth. ahem.
