Please give them a call for me and let them know.<br /><br />On a more serious note I do not expect anyone to remember me after I turn into dust with the possible exception of my kids.<br /><br />My art certainly will not be remembered or written about. I produce my art for my own gratification. It gives me pleasure and is certainly more socially acceptable than hiding in a bathroom with some KY. My art will never be recognized by the artistic elite who seem to be able to bestow the crown of popularity at their whim.<br /><br />Sometimes I wonder if they are acting like crooked stock brokers by hyping a penny stock because their buddies have already bought up loads of it.<br /><br />The recent fascination with what I would characterize as "vacation pictures" of boring houses and their contents escapes me. Where once the photographer couldn't get his best friends to look at his snaps, now that some "art world name" has bestowed the crown of acceptance on his work and he has found someone to print them 8 feet wide, he can get $8000 and up for his snaps. That is until the next smuck is anointed.Eric Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06559755887257856825noreply@blogger.com
