A Favorite Quote: "I wasn't expecting anything and I got even less..." Jiminy Glick, Comedy Central
FLIRTING & BODY
LANGUAGE:
* It takes between 90 seconds and four minutes to decide if someone likes someone else
romantically
* 55% of the message picked up from someone comes through body language
* 38% is picked up from tone, speed and inflection of the voice
* 7% is picked up from what is actually said
* If someone likes someone else, their pupil size increases and so does their blink

Note to Self™ - "There's been alot of good and bad things said about Honfest this year. We agree with what was generally said, it's become a JAFA festival. It is purely about commercialism, just downright getting away from the orginal spirit of the Festival. We can best describe it, "as selling knockoff handbags to the tourist", just don't deny what you're selling and make sure the buyer knows, because the rest of us do!" Honfest 2008 by the Artguy
A Frenzied Night Out at OUT OF ORDER 2008 - "I know a couple of artists that actually doubled their minimum bid from what they normally would sell the piece for, that's as wrong as an artist with a $5000 piece. C'mon, this is a BENEFIT, kiss 50% of your selling price goodbye, it's for a good cause. If you can't part with it, don't hang it, leave it at home, bring something else..." by the Artguy
The Spread - "Not only NO Spread but that Cool Chesire Cat, M.S. Wiggs needed some litter box time and was told there were NO BATHROOMS either, WTF! As a little test, we sent a couple of delicious Felines looking to freshen up and YES, these beauties were turned away, no bathrooms! The Shine Collective, an UNCOOL, UNFRIENDLY and UNART place, skip it next time, plenty of other places to spend your dollars where they greet you with a smile AND a hello" the Spread - Volume 2
Preferred Drink - SOTB, aka the Graduate
Artist Gets Zapped - "Don't know about Zapplication, but my friend mentioned it the other day. I am all for jurying with digital images. Slides are expensive, cumbersome, and I only use them for show entries. I'm a little leery of having one point for all art show applications - I guess I'm paranoid that eventually all shows will converge into one huge, controlling, WalMart-esque entity..." Don't Get Zapped!
Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader? - "What Jessica Bowers (J Bowers Baltimore City Paper) thought were simple Klan figures, a Fifth Grader in any civics class in the US would whisper to their classmate, 'It's Abu Ghraib'. WOW, now that's about as wrong
as midnight and noon... At this rate of professional growth, Jessica Bowers, we are afraid, will
never never get out of Kansas!" About Show #7
Surreal Pop Art - "Driven by something he can't quite seem to put his finger on and something beyond his ability to control, over and over he sculpts a vision from his mind, a vision that he does not understand. Although his first efforts don't satisfy his mind's eye, he continues to search, to refine, until the time comes that he makes the connection between what is coming out of him and what it means..." Kris Hoglund
 Eat This - You're home alone again on another Friday night

 "I must not take myself too seriously. Surely there is a person being tortured by more than this somewhere else in the world. Surely there is something more important I could be obsessing about again today besides what's inside. There has to be something outside myself that matters as much if not more." Ev Marinucci
 "Not far ago the cultural market demonstrated a great esteem for the "conceptual art" and now we see that this is not totally true anymore. Brazilian artists, in their majority, continue rescuing elements from their individual and collective experiences, however in a more subjective way, trying all the possibilities of visual languages. Brazilian art is modern and creative, without escaping from its affective and cultural memory." Art in Brazil - a tropical concept
 "I like Picasso, because of the themes he used. His paintings are very powerful, simple in some cases but above all he was himself and you can see it throughout his work. Some of my inspirations have been triggered by looking at his creations. To me he will always be one of the best artists ever" Obed Gomez
 "A painter ponders on issues regarding Latino/American identity I am moved to think about the ongoing debates about representation and identity in Latin American Art; I am moved to attempt theoretical artspeak regarding the marginalizing and appropriation of Latino images. It is my belief that there is a need for the redefinition of certain aspects and psychic contents in Latin American art, especially as these spring forth as a trend within current American culture .
