Well.

Entry #1 at this fine resource. I hope to make some connections here, maybe create some opportunities. Or at least get some inspiration. I think I'm well on my way.

I'm working on putting an article to bed for http://www.wanderingeducators.com/, then finishing a couple of product blurbs for a client. It may be off to bed after that - still recovering from a cross-country flight yesterday and a day spent waiting for my luggage to arrive today. What a blast.

I shall return.

I just performed spoken word, last Downtown (Los Angeles) Artwalk, on the Hippodrome--a mural painted historic bus that is now the "shuttle" that runs 15 minute loops through Gallery Row and beyond for the patrons of the walk. Since I perform with my pet python, the curators of the bus suggested I come up with something WW1, to honor the freak-show snakes that were displayed on Main Street at that time. I immediately thought of the Dada movement, and set out to do a piece on this. I managed to find a translation of Tzara's Manifeso online, and preceded to painstakingly edit it down to about half, trying hard to preserve the essence of the piece.

A Loft-y Law

August 18, 2008

Cities are again safe for struggling artists: Safe from the IRS.

The housing bill recently signed by President Bush makes it clear that
low-income housing tax credits can be used for artist housing. The IRS
had challenged the practice. Had the agency prevailed, a useful tool
for urban revitalization would have been jeopardized.

In an effort to add creative life and verve to downtowns, as well as
to preserve historic buildings and augment arts districts, dozens of
cities in nearly 20 states including Connecticut have built subsidized
housing for artists and writers using low-income tax credits.

God, would I love to be a full time artist. Wait, how would I know I would love that if I never tried. Tell me how it goes…You wake up in the morning and rush to your studio to finis one canvas and start the new one. Yeap, that’s it! You have a few started and they all are at the different stage of completion, and you pick up your brushes and your knives and your pallet and off you go creating?
