Note to Self™ - What is Art? "My life and inner visions are alive in my work through abstraction, leaving open spaces for you to fill." Read More
The Spread - Ok, we've been checking out the EATS around Baltimore and this is what we came up with. Please visit the rest of the Spreads
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 with nothing to do. Here's a handfull of Hamberger recpies to warm up to, we really didn't know you could do all this to hamberger. Don't dispair, there's always Saturday night, good luck! Cool Hamberger Hamburger Recipes

 "I had a dream a few years ago that I was on a spaceship and part of some kind of experiment. When someone was very ill, others would volunteer to give them images to get better. I prepared by slicing apples real thin in neat pieces and then putting them in a dish to eat." Michelle Bennethum
 "Well, The true story is I had a visit from the Jehovas Witnesses and after 15 minutes, he became a nuissance... I don't have a beef with different kinds of religious groups, as long they keep their activties to themselves, not at the front of my door." Olavi Ahokas
 "I thought that explained Tina's love for the human face and figure. Well that is not all of it, Tina added one last thing that really opened my eyes, she says, "Since birth I have a slight hearing disability, because of that I have to rely more on peoples lip movements and gestures to fully understand them. That might be one of the reasons why I'm so fascinated by face and body language. " Tina von Wiesen
 "In shooting photography, all is in the eye of the beholder. The choice is forever mine to be the silent witness as well as an active participant with all my subjects. I invite you to taste the journey that I experience as an artist. The following pieces are examples of what lies around us, in front of us and within us to observe and to cherish. It is within our power of perception that makes each experience unique. " Tracy Kimmons
