It is very difficult to make paintings while this is going on:

Give me a look, give me a face,
That makes simplicity a grace;
Robes loosely flowing, hair as free,--
Such sweet neglect more taketh me
Than all the adulteries of art:
They strike mine eyes, but not my heart.
-- Ben Jonson (1573-1637)
-- Epicaene; Or, the Silent Woman, Act i, Sc. 1

You know how "they" say, "Follow your dreams"?

Well, even if "they" pinned me in a pillory, I would love to make an hourly wage with markers, spray paint, and acrylic paint. 

Kickstarter Brainstorming

I was thinking of producing silk screen versions of my new paintings.  The crux and impetus of the project was a nagging dismay at the fact that the larger I start to paint, the even more limited my audience becomes.  Very few people could put a painting of these dimensions in their home.  But then I wondered if I could condense things like those old prints from Jugend.

 

Fish & Cut Bait's Research and Development team is wondering how much a hand-pulled silkscreen of four-colors on brown paper (12 inches wide) (like the one above) should be priced at for the masses?  There is an anonymous poll at the top of the side bar if you don't feel like leaving advice.
