my life as a artist
im only a poor little sparrow
Thursday 20th August 2009 11:43 PM
I'm sorry about the recent dearth of blogginess everybody. Due to circumstances beyond my control there seems to be some sort of financial crisis going on out there, and as an artist and performer I appear to have become a luxury item. The God-is-my-agent approach, which has served me well for the last ten years, doesn't seem to be so effective in the present economic climate, so I've been having to flex long dormant 'go-out-and-get-it muscles'.
Entering into the brutal cut-and-thrust of the advertising world, I've felt a desperate need for more energy and drive, so I've taken to eating modest portions of cheese every other Monday. I find that for sheer aggression you can't beat a nice bit of Wensleydale. When one thinks that there's PR companies out there like Itchi and Saatchi, who can successfully promote really unpleasant products like the Tory party and Damien Hirst, you realise the competition is stiff.
I, as a product, like to think of my commodified soul as generally more nourishing and appealing than that of the Tory party or Damien Hirst, so I'm hoping I won't need as big a budget as Itchi and Saatchi, or have to tell as many blatant untruths.
At the moment I'm having prints made of my art and am hoping to sell them on-line. (If I tell you about them now, I don't want you to think that I've started advertising, OK? The artistic spirit of this blog has yet to be compromised by the commercial imperative and I want you to regard the following as just another every-day, glittering shard of truth splintered from the fractured narrative of an ordinary Rory blog.)
I've had five pieces scanned so far and because they've generally been reduced from A1 to A3 they've taken on a certain bejewelled quality, and the colours are strong, faithful and true, like a good donkey. Obviously, in order to describe any work of art, one is always bound to verge on a wordless precipice, and yet with the help of a handy thesaurus I can honestly say that these prints are truly very, very bloody quite good nice.
If I can't hack the advertising world I'll go back to the God-is-my- agent thing again, only this time offer him a bigger cut.
Comments
I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the structure of your site? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?

Hmm is anyone else having problems with the images on this blog loading? I'm trying to figure out if its a problem on my end or if it's the blog. Any responses would be greatly appreciated.

I do like the way you have presented this particular difficulty and it does indeed present me personally a lot of fodder for consideration. However, coming from what I have observed, I only wish as other feedback pile on that people keep on issue and in no way get started on a tirade regarding the news of the day. Anyway, thank you for this outstanding point and though I can not really go along with the idea in totality, I respect the viewpoint.

Howdy! Do you use Twitter? I'd like to follow you if that would be okay. I'm definitely enjoying your blog and look forward to new posts.

When I originally commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get several e-mails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Many thanks!

Interesting blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere? A theme like yours with a few simple adjustements would really make my blog stand out. Please let me know where you got your design. Many thanks

Does your blog have a contact page? I'm having problems locating it but, I'd like to send you an email. I've got some ideas for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great site and I look forward to seeing it expand over time.

I do love the way you have framed this specific challenge plus it really does supply me some fodder for consideration. On the other hand, from what I have experienced, I simply hope as the actual comments pile on that people today remain on issue and don't get started on a soap box of some other news of the day. Anyway, thank you for this excellent piece and while I can not really concur with it in totality, I regard the perspective.

Hello would you mind letting me know which webhost you're using? I've loaded your blog in 3 different browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot faster then most. Can you recommend a good web hosting provider at a fair price? Many thanks, I appreciate it!

Wow that was strange. I just wrote an extremely long comment but after I clicked submit my comment didn't show up. Grrrr... well I'm not writing all that over again. Anyway, just wanted to say fantastic blog!

I absolutely love your blog and find a lot of your post's to be what precisely I'm looking for. Would you offer guest writers to write content for yourself? I wouldn't mind writing a post or elaborating on a lot of the subjects you write in relation to here. Again, awesome weblog!

Howdy! Do you know if they make any plugins to safeguard against hackers? I'm kinda paranoid about losing everything I've worked hard on. Any suggestions?

I'm really enjoying the design and layout of your site. It's a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more pleasant for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a developer to create your theme? Superb work!
Posted by fansedge coupon , on Saturday 6th August 2011, 5:55 PM
Wow! This blog looks exactly like my old one! It's on a totally different subject but it has pretty much the same page layout and design. Superb choice of colors!

With havin so much written content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My blog has a lot of unique content I've either created myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my authorization. Do you know any techniques to help protect against content from being stolen? I'd genuinely appreciate it.

Hi! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could find a captcha plugin for my comment form? I'm using the same blog platform as yours and I'm having difficulty finding one? Thanks a lot!
