A NEW BREED CONTEST
You folks should really check out the autumnal goings on at Breed. Get all the gold and tawny clustered details here breedart.org/hive/index.php
--------
If this were a perfect world...
1) Greenland would have the hottest cheerleaders who would wear fuzzy white sweaters with glaciers embroidered on the backs, and would never under any circumstance smell of whale blubber or ambergris.
2) Spock would never die and come back to life six years older. And with different hair.
3) I would have starred in an episode of "Love American Style" entitled Love And The Prickly Pear. Bill Daily would have been my whimsical sidekick subplot friend. Ruth Buzzy, the prudish lady upstairs. Victoria Principal would have likely played an active part. Yes, there is no justice.
4) I wouldn't hear "Joe Buck Rides Again" (from Midnight Cowboy) in my head every time I walk down a city street. At least I don't wear the hat.
5) Paul W.S. Anderson would have been born a moldy cracked rock instead of a human being. Moldy cracked rocks tend not to make very many shite films. Moldy cracked rocks are smarter than some human beings.
6) Nabisco would make a breakfast cereal with little marshmallow streetlights and saddle shoes.
7) No one would ask me "what's the best job for an artist" or "can being an artist enable me to have the quality of lifestyle I desire"?
Art. Job. Artist.
It's a little known fact that everyone has a switch behind their right ear marked "artist - on" and "artist - off". All you have to do is flip it, and create till you're blue in the face. Then when you're tired you can flip it off and go play video games. Yep.
Look, maybe it's just semantics but I'm really tired of the words "art" and "artist" being thrown around like used tissues. I would be less offended if the words craft and craftsman were substituted. That's what's meant, anyway. An evergreen tree can decide to grow apples, but it ain't going to happen. It's just going to ooze a lot of sap. So be happy with your sap, and don't call your sap "apples." You are what you were born to be. There is no choice in the matter.
I will however answer the first stated question:
Question : "What's the best job for an artist?"
Answer : The best job an artist can have is to be born to insanely rich and indulging parents. Anything other than that must be considered a distraction, and a hindrance. The second question cannot be answered, as it contradicts itself.
8) The Gurley Candle company would still be making Halloween candles.
9) Milk would not utterly disgust me. And, milkshakes would not completely disarm me.
10) This decade would have a definitive music.
For better or worse, every car in the 1970's had a Boston 8-track on the dashboard. In the 1980's, a Def Leppard (Pyromania) cassette. In the 1990's, a Nirvana (Nevermind) CD. What defines the current decade?
God Bless
I'm not John Boy

I'm available for commissions - sort of. If you want something like 437 free murals then I'm probably not your man. But, if you have a project in mind and you think my style would suit, do get in touch with me and we'll mull it all over. Don't be afraid, I seldom bite. OK, I do bite, but I've had all my shots. Extend your arm here dtmal@msn.com
FYI - I sell my originals
Depending on the piece, of course. I'm also open to trades under certain circumstances .
