Living It

Speaking of the Obama poster, I made my own at Obamiconme.

I was searching around for more background on Shepard Fairey’s poster, and I found this great site, http://obamiconme.pastemagazine.com, where you can make your own version of it.

I’m lending a painting to an art show.

I bought the painting “Hillary’s House” by the Canadian artist Kim Dorland last year from the gallery Freight & Volume in Chelsea. The image doesn’t do it justice, because he’s a very tactile painter. The paint is layered on thickly, and the tree in the middle rises at least an inch off the surface of the canvas.

The gallery was contacted by the curator of an upcoming exhibition called “HOME” at the Westport Art Center in Westfield, Connecticut. Supposedly, he specifically asked if he could include this painting in the exhibition. Sure, I say!

Should be up during April and May.

One way to get a testimonial – pay for them.

We bought a commercial air conditioner almost 6 months ago, and I just received this solicitation to provide a testimonial and be paid for it. While it's good marketing to get and display testimonials, obtaining them this way would obviously skew what people would say. Of course first time buyers at this site won't know they were paid for.
