May 2026! - After 13 years, I think it's time to make an update! Long story short, I finally found the backup drive containing 100% of this website albeit with some bad links. But give me a week or 2, all links should work as designed! New this time around is our new ArtBLOG, it's the only way we can keep up with all the news at a quicker pace.
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 rate

Note to Self™ - May 18, 2026! It occured to me that this website was making content before content making was cool. So, what's the future hold? Well, after launching this site in 1999 and featuring hundreds of Artists and Artists Spaces, I think we may start all over but 25 years later with some of the same artists that made this website so special. We'll take a peek back in time, see the present and look forward to the future!
 80+ Beers - Over the years I couldn't believe I've actually drank more than 85 different beers. After going through all my photos, I realized I had taken well over 100 pictures of alcohol drinks. From beers to wines to the hard stuff and some of the labels are simply better than some art! Drink This
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
Lost and Found - here's a new section of artists that somehow along the way lost themselves on the internet only to resurface and be found again! We just heard from one of our orginal featured artist, THH70, back and busier than ever! Lo-Fi Urban Abstract Graffiti

 "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
