Trying to Understand the ego

Why is it that people don't understand that there is enough for all of us, why do we insist on being so selfish that we grab as much as possible and try to hold on tight so that none of anything ever gets away... scarcity mentality its a killer disease.

Well thats enough of that, it has been a very eventful two weeks. My mural at Columbia Explorer School is going very well and I just took a great trip with a group of fabulous art collectors
to Atlanta, USA and let me tell you I now know the meaning of "Southern Hospitality" everyone
we met was so welcoming and accepting of not only of me but of the whole group.

I have also been invited to exhibit at the South Suburban Community College in South Holland, IL. (a solo exhibit) That'll be great for exposure. The paintings in the studio are moving along nicely and the portraits are moving forward.

I don't know what else to go on about, at this point there is so much to write about my brain can't focus to let it all out. So enjoy the pic and keep tuning in sooner or later I'll be consistently writing.

Comet Hale-bopp 1995-2008

Comet Hale-Bopp, Born 1995 and lived life as free and careless as a canine could. He passed away on the 29th of June 2008 and is survived by his two humans DLT and Pando.

Comet will be sorely missed by everyone that knew him. The time he spent with his humans was brief but very eventful I could write endless stories of his adventures and endless charisma but I feel that is best left to legend.

So good bye Mr. Hale-bopp, no more will you wiggle away as DLT applies "the claw" on you as you playfully wrestle but perhaps we will meet again.

Here we go again

Well its June and it feels like summer, all I know is that I have a full plate in front of me.

First I am Making good progress on my mural but it feels like it needs about two more months of work.

Second the portraits are getting done and I am very happy with the progress so thats a good thing.

And of course my plans for producing 150 paintings for the October event well for that I am thinking of creating a large piece and cutting it up into 150 pieces, They're going slow.

For the last couple of weeks I have been spending a lot of time doing paper work and there's more of that coming up.

Yes its me again and let me tell you I am appalled at the fact that I have a competitor advertising on my BLOG spot but then I looked at their site and no worries they can'tcompete with my work.


Now that that's been said on to my plans for October the whole concept of 150 for 150 has
been receiving a very interesting reaction. This weekend spoke to a whole bunch of people
about it and the concept of cultivating a whole new group of collectors is very exciting.


I am participating in a group exhibit at the Crown Center Gallery in Loyola university which
opens this Saturday so if anybody would like to join us we will be attending the reception
with Niece who just had the traumatic experience of graduating from the 8th grade.

got to go lots of painting to be done at the studio.

Thats it, its over

Wow what a great couple of weeks it has been. I know you all are probably asking yourselves where the hell is DLT? Well now! I just don't know where to start but let me tell thinks are well over here and there only going to get better.

It was sad to see the set I created for "Dreamlandia" go to the wrecking ball but thats life and it was great to see such a fabulous production become reality for all those people that took there time to see the production I thank you.

Well thats all I have time for right now I am going to my very own "Dreamlandia"

So enjoy this awesome pic. Oh I just wanted to add that it is always nice to applauded in print
by the major theater critic in Chicago - thats all.

Okay here's a new BLOG for you

Well I'm back from a great day out in the field and ready for some more. I don't know what that means but rest assured I'll get to the bottom of it.

Opening night at the R.E.A.C. first annual Latin American Art Fair went very well there was some very interesting people and a few of my pieces sold which is always a good thing! And my project with J.T.O. started today and the piece is started well but the traffic back needs to get better (so all you people out there on the 355 get with it).

Well thats it for right now except I would like to say to all those people out in Sunnyvale CA - stay thirsty...Stay Thirsty

New Challenges

Now its on to organizing the May 10 open house and Bridgeport Art Walk which means new challenges for me.

The good news is that I have a great concept for the October Opening. I am challenging those people who say that art is not affordable - I am calling it 150 for 150 thats right I will produce 150 paintings watercolors, oils and mixed media then sell them for $150 dollars each.

So Lets see I have two Murals for Columbia Explorer School a great project for JTO out in Barrington a couple of portraits and 150 painting to get done within a six month period, definitely a fun next couple of months!

In the mean time here is another pic for those of you who asked about pics.

And don't forget to stop in to the Ogilivie/Pertl Gallery next week for the first annual Latin American Art Fair which will be happening at the River East Art Center on Illinois Street. I will be participating with the OP Gallery a very fine Gallery.
