CS is Rollin'

I know, well I know its been a while and like GWB I keep sayin shit then not backing it up with anything substantial.

This time, This time.....I'm cooking up shit like a meth dealer and almost

as frantic about it as the Addict. Will it pan out who cares really. The fact is most people are too scared to live life. I mean really live a life

worth living. If thats insulting then maybe Dr. Novus can liberate you! But really haven't we all already written the parts we intend to play out?

We then treat the act like it was fate!? It is about time I quit talkin' and start walkin" and show the people that I hate to love, love to hate, but

none the less have so much compassion and love for, that we a humans are and not who we think we are.

Still Kicking

I see that people are looking in to see the next wave of my insanity, and well I guess I as the moderator of my insanity haven't been very accommodating. The world is at a stand still in Novus Arts land as it often is when everything changes. And as usual in the Novus Carnival everything changes on a weekly basis. Lets see what was happening then and what's happening now.

Then; I was staying home working the biz and tending to the little turtles. Out of no where, AS lost her job. What this means is all things in the carnival were put on hold for two months while I entertained the notion that it truly was possible to "sell cars" and make a living.

I think that was the shittiest two months of my life or at least a top 10 moment in shittyness.

Now; I have reverted to an old incarnation of self and have landed at an arts and crafts store, as a peon. But a well paid peon so I guess its all good. Needless to say after working 70hrs a week at a car lot baking in 100 degree summer sun that gave me a 2-month pain in my ass and a serious sunburn,, I am much happier about the change. It was time I turn my attentions back to the Novus Arts Show. But before I got too carried away AS landed back at the evil corp. and everything changes yet again. But being surrounded by mediocrity as you are by amateur artisans(my apologies on any amateur craft store shoppers) at a craft store my creative fires are beginning to spark from the cinders, like a phoenix rising, so I know that I will get back to work soon, maybe today? Maybe.

So for all of you checking on me please don't stop, even though I have no Idea who you fine folk are, or why I'm so interesting of a character. I know you are there and I thank you for that. Until two months from now when I update again, hopefully it wont be two months, but until then,

You Had it, What the hell did you do with it.?!

I swerr i didn't have it! you Had it. i think. Who the hell cares who had it, I'm guessing no one had the damn thing at all. If they did have it. They probably wouldn't share it with me or any one else any way. What the hell am i talking about, well i goat know either. But it just seems to be a universal truth. You don't know and i don't know, but neither of us wanna admit that we both have ideas about where the hell it went.

If you know what i mean then i feel sorry for you because i feel sorry for me sometimes too.

And, those of us who do know what i mean, What the HELL are you waiting for? DO SOME THING, NOW!!!!

ROAD TO HELL pt. III

_{Well i had no intention of there being a part three, as I had hoped to get to the studio and get to work this week. As of today i am still making excuses why i can't get down to the studio, (its too late, I'm too tired, too whatever). All i can say is never, never, never, never, never, never, rest on your laurels. just be cause you did something once, (had a show, sold a piece, or created your newest masterpiece) that doesn't mean you intend to dedicate your self and follow through to the next, show or masterpiece. This brings me to what i've been thinking about today, Dedication. I can't count all of the things i've heard or said that are essentially excuses about why I/you didn't go about the business of doing our business. I/you need to make up our minds about what it is we want and go do it. If i didn't follow thorough then i give my self poor marks for the day. I've been told life isn't a multiple choice question, its an essay test, well either way if i didn't follow through i failed. I'm more than a little disappointed in my effort today, but i am dedicated to pushing beyond todays lack luster effort, because what i did yesterday isn't what i did today.}

Go Ahead and Laugh It Up!

So Laugh it up until you cry, until you are so short of breath you get a head rush and your face is blue. I WILL be considered the BEST by the time i'm through. You have to not only think it, but know it! If you just like making art but have no aspiration of going to that next level, that next stage, well it takes all kinds to make the world go 'round. Not me, i want the golden ring for myself! I have to know how good i am or else i'd quit. I didn't start this to fall short, that's not just a promise i make to myself but also to you. A dedication to each and everyone of you who have put down their hard earned money to support me and my vision. So to those of you that support me i say THANK YOU!

Now, those of you out there getting their chuckle on, i suggest you take another look. Examine your thoughts as they pass, see how you are affected. Just realize that NOW is your chance to get in on the ground floor, or you'll pay more later. It's not that i want to gouge my collectors, it's more a matter of garnering a fair living wage, and that i might better work for your investment. A wise man once said "sometimes you work for your art, sometimes you art works for you." (a speaker from my graduation ceremony who was making his art, work!)

Lets just say i have no plan to work for my art forever.

LONE WOLF

As i drain another burr and watch Country Music T.V. i thought it must be fun being a musician, you get to be surrounded with other like minded folks who just wanna play, and every one in a "band" has a part. I realize that in history we have plenty of examples where visual artists banded together to create a community or movement. It seems to me that more and more recently artist are "Lone Wolfs" we run alone in order to do what, i have no idea. I almost long for a time when people/artists weren't so self-centric. I find the willingness of artist to join with artist with out the friction of each for their own, to be nearly non-existent. I have long felt that there is a new attitude among artists "me against you". I suppose that is the nature of any highly competitive field, however i know for a fact that each person is so unique that even to borrow imagery or technique from one another the end product would still be vastly and remarkably different. Perhaps as with musicians with different instruments, we, artsts, could weave a tapestry more intricate than the finest symphony.

ROAD TO HELL part 2

A.M.

Okay so i really did intend to write on this thing every day, but...things don't go the way you plan. I will still give my best effort toward weaving together some sort of commentary on the arts. As i sit here this morning we prepare for the opening of an exhibit at my Gallery 5, so i imagine that by the time i sit down to put together the rest of this i will be plenty FIRED up ( and damn if i'm not!) to state some pretty interesting observations and ideas. That is.. if i don't get to drunk to type this out at the end of the day. (half way there...)

P.M.

So i felt the people in this city were degenerate and lame but i had no idea "educated" people could sink to these lows. Tonight i put on a show with an extremely talented artist (Maude Andrade) at my gallery 5 here in Albuquerque. A mear spit in the bucket showed up. Month in and month out i have gone out into the ranks of artists and brought to the people of albuquerque fine quality avant garde art works, artists in albuquerque who aren't either dead or near dead( R.C.Gorman). Month in and month out you the people of this "artists" town have proven that you talk the talk but have no idea even how to crawl. I find the state of the arts to be stronger than ever and yet weaker than ever. If art is free to look at then i guess the free food, music and drink isn't enough either. every one wants art and culture but no one can be held accountable when it can't fit into their daily lives. (if this is you and i have offended you then good!) I guess i just have a difficult time believing that such an artistically cultured city as this brings to the end result nothing. Maybe as accused buy Mr. Donkey this city is a town of hobbyists, crafts people and native american jewelers.... Except one thing i know this not to be true. Albuquerque can't make artists, it can only break them. In my estimation hundreds of artists in Albuquerque are pushing the envelope of what has been "done" before or "seen" before. And yet still is a mecca for artists seeking liberal audiences who might accept a "new" mode of viewing. Be warned wary artisans and travelers if you think you can make it here then you should try and make it somewhere else. Collector money goes to Santa Fe, and Albuquerque is its illegitimate child. International travelers have to make their way though here before moving on to the international "destinations" Santa Fe and Taos, yet some how perhaps it is the artists fault or the galleries' fault. No, dare i say it's the collector's fault, they who consistently pass over perhaps the best city of artists in the world. I have read it before and said it before, it doesn't have to be New York, LA, Chicago, or San Francisco, to be world class. Check Baltimore, Omaha, Des Moines, Kansas City, you will se that the "mid"sized cities are the hot bed of the newest american art renaissance and its about time those of you who care, take notice and help support it or you could be left with nothing.

The road to hell!

Good intentions and all that. i planed to every evening to bring to the table some sort of commentary about the art community or art making in general. Today i am very unhappy about the state of not only art making but the art community that i consider myself to be a part. Not only the art making and artist but those of you who claim to support the arts. I have taken a couple of sayings that i have combined into one, 1) Talk is cheep! (so true) 2) Art is free to look at! That combined into talk is cheep and art is free to look at. i will begin soon a new campaign, T-shirts and cartoons, i call B.O.A. Buy Original Art. Much like a boa constrictor Squeezing money out of collectors.

For those of you who have no idea who the hell i am or what i have in mind brace your selves for my enormous ego. I happen to think i my work is the most provocative and introspective work of the early 21st century. And i won't stop until it is a recognized fact, and not just my egoic musings.

updated daily!

INSIDE MY HEAD!!!!

What is inside my head? That seems to be the point of this exercise. To get to the root of what it must be that creates these paintings. These ideas of mine that give insight to what it is that you think. i mean what i think.. As it is i have no idea what "you" think, or for that matter, to build a treatise of what i think so that you may better understand me or these images that spring forth from my own creative force at such a rate they are at best re-worked and not pre-meditated. I will do my best not to burden this "blog" with my ramblings of politics or personal life which could fill hundreds of pages in this emptiness out here in cyber space. That being said welcome to my world biii-atch!!!!
