Post Apocalyptic Mutants

Madison, WI - United States

Well, anything that you can do to help yourself to be in a positive frame of mind during such adversity. Personally, I think that your creative strengths must parallel your constitution in other areas of your life. You seem to upbeat for anything else to be true... and thank goodness for that. I spent much time being frustrated in not being commercially viable. Then I realized that being commercially viable doesn't mean diddly squat to me in the first place. When talented and likeminded individuals such as yourself offer support, I know that it is still worthwhile. Keep on creating my friend. There are many of us who will tell you that it matters!

Don't I know that well, my friend! I try to use it, the art therapy - maybe not enough, for the moment - as a part of my anti-cancer therapy, with diet and meditation and some supplements...:) I'm frustrated too, looking at what sells and knowing, as you no doubt know too, that it's not true originality or creative art that's selling...I made more making street portraits in a day than in 3-4 years on FAAM...But it's a nice way to show you work and yes, even meet like minded true, original artists...

I know the feeling well my friend. My work does not seem to match the curtains in anybodies house... so I am not selling much either. Perhaps we need new perspective? Maybe if we could collaborate on a still life of a fruit basket... or maybe a pair of doe eyed puppies in a basket of laundry... maybe then we could turn this thing around eh? lol. Never lose heart my friend. Creativity is therapy.

Glad you like it, John. I try to sell it for peanuts here and nobody seems to want it...it was in a charity auction and stayed unsold...Probably not joyous enough, too somber...:)

Some post apocalyptic mutants and a brain. Started as an abstract composition in acrylics, with textures, it ended here, in these weird, bizarre, somewhat horrible territory...Subconscious memories? womb nostalgia? mental health issues? don't know, maybe...
