I seem to have just signed up for a class. ART255, Art Marketing, at PVCC in the Fall. Thursday nights from 6:30 to 9:30.

From the official course description:

Art Marketing
Career goals, presentation of artist and art work (portfolio, resume, business cards, catalog), pricing and selling works, networking, establishing a studio, promotion and publicity, writing press releases, proposal writing, business ethics, artist rights, copyright law, contracts and agreements, royalties, record keeping, and communication skills. Prerequisites: None.

Artist’s Statement:

“chART number one and chART number two were created in direct response to the hundreds of hours I’ve spent in corporate offices surrounded by repetitive, emotionally neutral art, investing my creative efforts in building meaningful and visually pleasing images from spreadsheets which could never be appreciated outside the high walls of corporate security. I wanted to re-create the easy-going flow of some of my then-current faux abstract, richly colored, rough-stroked work within the same carefully controlled, straight-edged structure that Excel’s charting templates had restricted me to, generating tension and contrast between the two ends of the spectrum without taking either theme to its extremity. My struggle in trying to hold the balance between form and freedom, between the strict oppression of my day job and the empowering creative outlet that my after-hours painting provides, has quite intentionally created something that feels like it is almost unique but also intimately familiar, like a drawing of a celebrity.”

New no-prescription online pharmacies: USA Pharmacy Pills is cheaper than my old link, Nice Price Pharmacy, and the shipping on both is a flat $10 per order. Also available is My Dispensary, with even lower prices, but $15 flat-rate shipping.

These links are really for my reference, and for my friends and family who also use them. All three are supplied by the same wholesaler, so have the same product lists, and roughly the same prices.

It’s literally hailing. Right now. At my house, in Phoenix, AZ.

I love summer hail storms. 100 degree day, hail storm at 5PM in the afternoon.

Beautiful.

Storms like clockwork are nice, too. Did you ever notice that the “monsoon” storms we get later in the summer seem to hit at almost precisely 5PM every day, too? Beautiful.
