Damn, I was just leaving. Jaline, this is why I wanted to talk to you about your artwork buying habits in the first place a few months back. My big problem is that I would feel like a con man if I sold giclées. After I had done the deal I would sit there thinking "Somebody just handed me 60quid for a bubblejet and I pretended it was something more fancy called a Giclée" and I don't think I could live with that.
When Iwas doing the Scissor Sisters stuff I was literally swamped with their mad fans wanting to buy any at all. I could have really cleaned up but the thought made me feel really queezy.
I guess I'll never be rich because I have a problem taking money from people under anything that could be deemed false pretences or inflated values.
Do you ever look at the massive pile of prints you've bought over the years Jaline, and think "Fuck, are these really worth it?"
For me personally, I'd be much happier to get to a point where I feel my large drawings are as good as I want them to be, and to sell them, as original artworks, for £thousands. Maybe I'm being naiive but I feel as though selling bubblejets now for £60 will somehow undermine my potential for selling A0 size original drawings for thousands in 5 years time when I'm good enough that I feel they are worth that money.
- Right now they are not good enough so I'll let you all have them for £500, okay? Great.Horp
- Its also why I sent you some shots of my Bazooka printing technique, to see if you felt they were worth more for being genuinely hand made and truly limited.Horp
- genuinely hand made and truly limited. You didn't though, so that was that and so I smashed up my printing apparauts. j/kHorp
- Anyway, Now I'm leaving for the pub.Horp
- OK, read my response later on.Jaline
- but they're not paying for the print, they're paying for the artmagnificent_ruin
- Agreed Rand, so why the moniker? Could it be to hide the fact that bubblejets collapse after a few years?Horp

and all the doors were open. The women? They all looked like they bleached every microsoft surface they had. The men just didn't shave. It was Tehran circa 1971.

Australia day seems little more than an exercise in flag-waving and rampant jingoism. It’s bordering on nationalistic.

I'm in the new place... pretty much the same size house, same amenities...
...not nearly as gay a neighborhood - so most of the yards look like shit and there are dogs barking non-stop (I don't fucking care what you say - gay men have style and they take care of their yards)...... regardless - I have a new home and my kids (2 cats and a dog) all seem relatively happy.
Thank you all for the kind words over the past couple of weeks - and the kind actions by some of you (some VERY 'kind' actions by some of you... *nudge *nudge *wink)

Those Westboro Baptist Church fuckers are going to come to one of the other high schools in the district to protest their production of 'The Laramie Project'.
Apparently we're 'fag enablers' and thus are going to hell.
- burn the church. its easier than you thinkiCanHasQBN
- tell them you're proud to enable fags and watch their faces glow red and inflateismith
- rub your crotch at the same time.ismith
- OR tell them that you are asexual and that their argument is invalid.ismith
- but hey let them protest, they can believe whatever they want. you'll appreciate it when you can protest their BS later on...ismith
- on...ismith
- at the very least it forces an issue. around here i wish more people protested things, even stuff i don't agree with at allismith
- because it's still activism, and it sets a stage for people to counter it.ismith
- tell em you are also enabled to punch them in the facedigdre
- or yell, 'YR SON IS GAY'digdre
