Having just recently discovered Etsy I have found Andy Kehoe's Etsy page and I'm also aware that Ryan Bubnis and Ana Bagayan use it. Can board members recommend other artists who have their store on Etsy.

Re: MAILBAG « Result #2 Today at 1:56pm »
tomorrow my tube arrives and hopefully it has my keys in it ( get the play on words, like im telling you what is coming but doing so in a different way, oh I am so bored at work why did I take this semester off, oh yeah cause we are moving into a house a had to furnish who is in Atlanta and wants to hang art? )
My French is rusty but it mentions a limited edition for the shoes but nothing about the art, I wonder what will become of it after its finished touring. Anyone familiar with corporate commissions like this? Will it go to SAf for the cup and then back to Puma HQ?

Re: MAILBAG « Result #14 Today at 7:18am »
Was calling the local mail service, as I am eagerly awaiting a parcel. They could not find it in their system, and then I read the tracking information again:
We attempted to deliver your item in AUSTRALIA at 8:05 AM on February 3, 2010.
I was assured "this happens very often". Yes, to me the second time within one year. I am just not sure where they actually tried to deliver it? There can't possibly be a street of the same somewhere down under. Is there even a Vienna in Australia?
Close up "The Unfortunate Nature Of Duality" from 'Modus Alone' from Damon Soule above.
Damon gets into town tomorrow night and hits the ground running on Wed to get to work on the installation / sculpture he has planned... will be sure to post some pics here soon of that coming together.

Re: Last Artwork Purchased « Result #33 Yesterday at 8:44pm »
Hello, I recently purchased these two sketches by the lovely Krista Huot. They are from her recent solo show ("Nepenthe") at Gallery 1988 SF. I also wanted the painting "Masquerade," but some lucky person beat me during preview.
(These images are from the gallery; my pictures aren't as good.)

Re: What are you thinking right now? Artwise... « Result #35 Yesterday at 8:24pm »
Three things I am hating about the board:
1. the I can't believe it took this long post about an artist .... It is condescending and obnoxious....If you really cared you should have started the thread awhile ago....
2. Posting previews without artist or gallery approval : This is a sure fire way to have galleries and artists start shunning the board... after the opening hour the flood gate can be open even if it is berens but before the galleries have obligations and madness to their reasons. If you need a preview ask somebody to PM and they almost always do....
3. Massive Assault on a few specific galleries...if you don't like their artist mention it once don't sit there and continue to insult them...but if the artist is part of the board and asks for critiques then feel free to give advice as much as you want.
Re: Jeremy Geddes « Result #37 Yesterday at 7:01pm »
Surprised it took so long for Jeremy to get listed/mentioned here!
He's based in Melbourne and is really talented.
Only issue is that Jeremy's a perfectionist! He labours over a painting for a long time. There was a piece that looked perfect to me but just sat in his studio for a couple of years...Jeremy told me that he passed the piece to Ash Wood! See below for more on Ash and Jeremy.
He doesn't show with galleries and sells direct to 'fans'.
I live locally and have been lucky enough to have bought some pieces and also visited his studio. There won't be a shortage of paintings for sale...you just need to be patient (his last large batch of Cosmonaut paintings sold two+ years ago) and you also need to beat Ashley Wood.
Believe it or not, Ash owns MOST (I'd say 90%) of Jeremy's larger paintings. That last Heat Deat piece was an Ash Wood 'commission'. Oh well. They're friends so I guess that Ash has dibs!

I went to his show last Friday. It was cool chilling with him, Jim "FOOD ONE" Mahfood, and Jason Shawn Alexander... talking comics. Such nice guys... and you should see what they can do with Sharpies and fat chisel tip markers... LOL.

i have to agree with you on paul chatem...
black maria gallery had some of his moving pieces at aqua. it was fun to play around with the cogs. an equal level of artistry and craftsmanship seem to go into his recent works.

Nice collection! I had a few from way back in the day... my sponsored friends would hook me up with their designs... so some were used for skateboarding... but if I could go back in time... A few of us even made shelves at one point. I did with snowboards since I got a few every season

Re: Jason Limón « Result #71 on Feb 6, 2010, 11:56pm »
Hey there, thank you all for checking out the Feb. stuff and the kind words. Aaron - I really appreciate you purchasing No. 46, sorry you didn't get the drawing to go with it.
That was my favorite (of the semi-affordable) pieces from Japan. It's unfortunate his price points are too high for his market to sustain - at least at the moment - and such quality work is drifting around unsold. Had Ooi Botos (and Jose) not been so unwilling to flex a bit on price and place work with a motivated collector, this guy might be on my walls right now. Interestingly, things seem to have a way of working themselves out in the end and it's looking like not going after this might've ended up being in my best interest.
what are parla's pieces selling for (or not, as the case may be) these days? really nice work though, no doubt.
paul chatem really knocked it outta the park with his solo at cave. hand painted cut wood pieces that can be rotated by gears!!! attached to paintings. truly creative and cool concept.
I saw one of his pieces for the "Who Killed The Music" Grammy show that had those moving parts. He reached up to move it to show us but security stopped him briefly until they realized he was the artist haha.

A closer look at that Art Los Angeles Contemporary fair piece. Sounds like he might have a show at that Otero Plassart eventually. Good for socal people to finally see a show in person if it's true...

I just registered but prmoised myself I would not look at budgets until after the townhouse was furnished cause my wife puts up with my crap so I promised her it would be perfect, but once we move in Feb 26th the budget starts
I am sadden today as I begin to call furniture stores to schedule deliveries for the new place, I have went over my receipts and have learned to furnish a 700 sq. ft condo costs about 3K to furnish 2700 sq ft costs about 12K how is this possible and e will only be there for a year then back home to Miami what the hell. I know this is not the art section of what are you thinking but 12K I could have bought a great piece of art and me and the wife could have sat on the floor.
ever tried mint.com? it'll help you to track your $$$ and set up your budget. it's one of the best sites i've gone to!

Re: David Choe « Result #84 on Feb 6, 2010, 2:20pm »
a great turnout last night. glad to see many red dots at the show especially many of the original pieces.. i didn't get any as my top 3 choices got sold when i arrived at the preview reception. i think the tender nob piece was my favorite one. at least i got a zine from the show which had a few nice photos of dc's pieces and jason's story behind the show. it was a well-balanced show - the "jar jar binks" attitude on the left side and dark side of darth vader on the right side. i think the walls feed compliment each other well...

I'd probably not have survived my own birth if it wasn't for medical advancement, so...no to natural selection.
I rather curse some technical advancements. On my way home from work in a packed tram I do not want to hear your crappy conversations on the phone, especially not every gross detail of your medical history. And even if those break-up stories actually sounded quite interesting, PLEASE keep them to yourself, because otherwise I get this sudden urge to take your mobile and just jump on it till it's dead. And I am usually quite peaceful. Thank you.
Getting an iPod was the best thing that I ever did for my sanity while enduring commutes... LOL. I also share your pain in these awful conversations that are had in public...
