Textiles and Train Tracks

  • Mood: Artistic
I put in a proposal for a mural in this past February and my image was chosen. (HURRAY!!!!!!!) It's going to be an outdoor affair (though I will actually paint it inside on panels that will installed on a building afterward) downtown in my hometown of Gastonia, North Carolina. Needless to say, pretty enthused about it.

So to anyone who knows me personally or looked at the proposed sketches [link] and [link] , know that it did get accepted.

Hope that everyone out there in deviant land is doing well. :)

That sounds like an interesting major, but yeah all theory would get pretty boring I guess. I suppose there must be a purpose for it, but well, experiencing a thing is usually much better than just talking about it. Best of luck with everything.

A crawl is an event where you have artwork displayed in two or more galleries or businesses in walking distance of each other; so that people can walk around, see different art shows and kind of explore the area. It went pretty well. In my hometown there is not much of an art scene and the downtown has been pretty dead for a while, but the crawl drew a pretty nice crowd, and people seemed to enjoy themselves.

Yeah especially when it seems to be theory for the sake of theory. That can be quite dull. And I hate stretching things that I could say in three paragraphs up to twenty pages :shakefist:

That crawl thing sounds pretty cool. How many artists did participate? I'm glad it turned out well :D Maybe it will 'stimulate' the art scene in your town a bit. I am curious if I can find artists in Berlin to hang out with...back in my hometown I didn't know any, either :lol:

I hate writing long papers, and prefer being concise myself.

Let's see, maybe about 30 artists, I guess. Most of them local.

Are there not many artists in Berlin, or have you just not gotten a chance to meet any?

Haha yeah, so you see where I am coming from.

Wow, that's quite a nice number there :D I suppose that means there will be a follow-up sometime?

Well I met two people from dA so far, but I do not know too many. We'll see, I certainly hope I will get to meet some :nod: Would be heaps of fun :D

Yes, we will probably do another one in November, one in spring and one in fall every year.

I wish you the best of luck finding other artists in Berlin. I've met a few around here, but most are much older than me, so I kind of know how you feel. Kind of.
