Winter to spring, What is most valuble?

02.24.2009 by Peter J. Crowley // 27 Comments


Winter is reality and summer just a mannequin.


As the temperatures rise [we can only hope] and the dollar falls I ponder what is it that is of value? Friends of course lead my list. But beyond friends as an Artist I look at what other people put value on? Of course there are your tools and materials. But what else is there “Time!” How do others value the time of an Artist? I ponder how an Artist is defined in this new global world? Certainly not as a profession for a profession is defined by “Billable Hours.” Is it technique? Tools? Mega Pixels? Something you do on the side to give back to the community? Or perhaps Community Service after you have stolen the future of the elderly, the poor and the children of the world.
What is the value of time? What defines an artist? Just a couple of light hearted musings on a cold February morning. enjoy pjc

Distractions Reprise Feb.7th 2009

The 18 mega byte distraction
A tidal wave of minutia
Consumes me drags me
Into the undertow of vanilla
Humanity is a misspelled sound bite
Posted on your very own social network
Reality is upgraded daily
Peter has an Obsolete Digital EOS
Five years old or more
Peter has five Nikon’s
The newest thirty-two Y.O.
I’ve got me grain, I’ve got me pixels
Soon 50-100 more mega bytes

Hygienic Art XXX ending this weekend.

02.12.2009 by Peter J. Crowley // 4 Comments

POLAROID HERO’S AND ART DEBRIS
FROM THE HYGIENIC FILES OF VINNIE SCARANO
at The Golden Street Gallery

In celebration of the Hygienic Art XXX show, this exhibition also includes Hygienic Art inspired paintings by Jacqueline Phillips, Terry Davo Davis, Glenn Hart and Davis Weber, poster art, and selections of writings, poems and graphic art from the Hygienic Mozaik of that year.

If you haven’t been to this show yet I feel it is a must see. The show is a grand blend of art and the history that surrounds this annual event and the driving force of creativity The Hygienic has become. The ghosts from the past swirl together with the hope of the future, upon stepping into the Gallery you are in the world of The Hygienic. Great show!
