We have moved passed the half way point with only 13 days to go!
We are at 31 backers, and have $1,810 in pledges, more than half our goal for our Kickstarter Campaign. But we only have 13 days left. That means we have to work quickly if we want to see The Quench Project succeed. Remember if we don't make our goal of $3,500 by...
Show me the Money
"Having read and watched your kickstarter Quench Project presentation a couple of times, I am yet unclear on the percentage of money going to "their" great cause, as opposed to "your" cause? And, what percentage of the sale of your work goes to "them"?" Thanks for...

Ghost Art
This past weekend we took a ghost tour on top of a hearse and stayed at "the most haunted" Bed & Breakfast in Savannah (17hundred90). Didn't see any ghosts so we went to the local museums and toured a couple homes. We spent a lovely afternoon at the Telfair...

Trust
"It takes a lifetime to build trust and only a second to destroy it forever." I have written previously about the art business as a con game. Well here is a painting I know you will like. . . Once, on a cruise ship, the auctioneer was angry that no one was bidding....
Maya and the Surviving Spirit
We are Here In homage to this great life allow me to suggest that as creatives we all owe her a debt, that a woman who had to overcome such great odds to have her voice heard is an inspiration for all those who have ever been brave enough to put down on canvas a...
