In the meantime I've been<br />busy exchanging 'text messages with the dead' (see side bar of blog)<br /><br />I like the comment that this is another sketchbook/artform Jafa. There may be artists who wake up in the morning with flashes of inspiration and get it all on canvas or whatever; I am not one. I work around that inspiration on paper and sometimes (gasp) in the blog where it's out there for anyone to run across. Damn messy process but worth it, as you say, for the opportunity to meet fellow artists and see how they sort this art stuff out.<br /><br />I agree with you Ria concerning finding inspiration from other artists through blogging. The dialogues help us stay focused and it's always a pleasure to admire someone's work and be able to follow their progressions.William Evertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16552959930900393198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3340310062269056961.post-64986044943274197292009-06-21T03:08:09.961-04:002009-06-21T03:08:09.961-04:00Same here, blogging is a door-opener to meet other...Same here, blogging is a door-opener to meet other artists, find ideas and inspiration while giving me the opportunity to do what I like the way I like (to do)it...the 'expectation of payment' works immobilizing I find, but I wouldn't mind making some money with what I do neither...Tough!<br />Thanks for that Bill, reading your post felt like I was in the room with you.Ria Vanden Eyndehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08456268932458566201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3340310062269056961.post-495764331978310832009-06-20T22:30:57.350-04:002009-06-20T22:30:57.350-04:00Great thoughts to ponder.

On the one hand I view the blog like a blank canvas and another sketchbook/artform and then on the other hand wonder if too much exposure I end up being taken for granted.<br /><br />Then again there has been some fantastic opportunities to meet fellow artists, explore questions and ideas etc etc and see what is going on out there in this big old world.jafabrithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04490900607853203086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3340310062269056961.post-2197714502304451172009-06-20T21:41:00.612-04:002009-06-20T21:41:00.612-04:00Hey, really interesting post there... so, should w...Hey, really interesting post there... so, should we all stop blogging ??? Can you imagine all the engineers at Blogger.com sitting around looking at each other scratchin their heads if all of a sudden there were no new posts one day and everyone deleted all of the millions of blogs there are out there ??? If all their traffic meters went suddenly dead ? So jeez, should I start charging a fee for visits to the Lantern Show ? Haven't heard about any witches lately ?Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12622587942009516590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3340310062269056961.post-72704191601645438302009-06-19T15:26:17.845-04:002009-06-19T15:26:17.845-04:00Thanks for the visit and good luck with your house...Thanks for the visit and good luck with your house :)William Evertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16552959930900393198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3340310062269056961.post-26622796170847240272009-06-19T11:01:01.137-04:002009-06-19T11:01:01.137-04:00Good lessons learnt here Bill! thanksGood lessons learnt here Bill! thanksRosieKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02337670107926923777noreply@blogger.com
