recent artwork comment (work of Hillel Kagan):

OK, so I got that completely wrong again. It's not even remotely about peace, and you probably had no intent of any political commentary.
Fat cats in chairs then.
Hope you recover soon from the 'flu, and signs of the coming Spring over there bring some cheer.
As for my failing attempts to communicate with artists, it does get ridiculous at times. I get fed up with the unchanging comments on the homepage, and decide to make a nuisance of myself. You're the only one left who'll put up with me - and even you'll get sense sooner or later![Goto..]

3rd recent artwork comment (work of Hillel Kagan):

Well, I suppose the ensuing silence to your question is your answer. To me, this looks like Menachim Begin and Anwar Sadat or Hafez al-Assad (I remember his photo everywhere I went in Damascus many years ago, though I'm not sure he ever met with Begin) at some peace accord meeting photo opportunity as is the title of the work. I find it interesting in relation to your other suited figures who are instead bizarrely wrestling in middle-class domestic environments. I'm expecting these two to get up and do the same. Maybe your painting is to fix the moment that they've gotten this far, and not to go and blow it?[Goto..]

5th recent artwork comment (work of Tom Fitzgerald):

Rather more sexual abuse than harassment I'd say. A witty testimony to the corruption of all-too-recent absolute authority. Thanks for uploading this work Tom. I like it better the more I look at it. I love the understated lyrical lines and the iconographic imagery stolen directly from source. And slate? I've never seen that used before. As a material it looks beautifully solemn. How difficult is it to work with?
So who bought it in the end - the banker or the local bishop? :)

Great excitement for this year's "Lorenzo il Magnifico" Lifetime Achievement Award, which will be awarded to José Luis Cuevas, painter, sculptor, writer and politician, considered among the most important contemporary artists and Agatha Ruiz de la Prada, one of the most reno [GoTo..]

as a painter its pretty difficult to get my work in the general view of the public- I mean ok, I can get an exhibition at a high street gallery - but thats just selling stuff that I've kept to long-But to show anything honest and real is more difficult- Uusally the galleries want images that'match' their clients- whatever the hell that means.- So it came as a refreshing that new idea from an Author fell into my lap-
First he wanted me to paint for a book, then a blog. It has turned out that  [GoTo..]

Hello Eli...

After you login, click on the My Gallery tab, then "Eli's Profile (on the left)", then "Edit Artist Profile" (again on the left). There you should be able to update your data.

Let me know if you get that far, but it's still not working and don't forget to mention any error messages you see.

thanks

'Gobleshya' as they say here in Ireland, you never fail to make me laugh! [GoTo..]

I'm still hard pressed to see why you seem to need to apply your painting process to the sculptures. The illusionist planes and forms of the painted surface take away from the elegant planes and forms of the sculpture itself. If you had seen it at the time and decided to explore the suggestion of a prone figure hit by a sniper I could see the use of paint as a funky way of furthering and enhancing that vision. [GoTo..]

Well, from what I remember the disaster of ap in Trapani to have been, at least some good seems to have come from it (as indicated in your SLOG). Maybe I should get onto Antonio for a second attempt? - but a second attempt a lot more controlled (and financed up front - as I don't have any more money to underwrite costs) this time. Actually I'd be extremely reluctant to do anything like that again. However, it does appear to be important for artists to come together for some sort of collective [GoTo..]
