FLIRTING & BODY
LANGUAGE:
* It takes between 90 seconds and four minutes to decide if someone likes someone else
romantically
* 55% of the message picked up from someone comes through body language
* 38% is picked up from tone, speed and inflection of the voice
* 7% is picked up from what is actually said
* If someone likes someone else, their pupil size increases and so does their blink

Note to Self™ - It's that time of the year, we can all be thankful for what we have and help those that need it. On that note, what do you think is a FAIR commission to pay a Gallery or Space for selling a piece of art work, collecting the money and paying you? It's a tough question to answer, here's a simple poll and a place to put in your 2 cents worth... Fair Commission?
Honfest 2008 by the Artguy
A Frenzied Night Out at OUT OF ORDER 2008 - "I know a couple of artists that actually doubled their minimum bid from what they normally would sell the piece for, that's as wrong as an artist with a $5000 piece. C'mon, this is a BENEFIT, kiss 50% of your selling price goodbye, it's for a good cause. If you can't part with it, don't hang it, leave it at home, bring something else..." by the Artguy
The Spread - "Not only NO Spread but that Cool Chesire Cat, M.S. Wiggs needed some litter box time and was told there were NO BATHROOMS either, WTF! As a little test, we sent a couple of delicious Felines looking to freshen up and YES, these beauties were turned away, no bathrooms! The Shine Collective, an UNCOOL, UNFRIENDLY and UNART place, skip it next time, plenty of other places to spend your dollars where they greet you with a smile AND a hello" the Spread - Volume 2
Preferred Drink - SOTB, aka the Graduate
Artist Gets Zapped - "Don't know about Zapplication, but my friend mentioned it the other day. I am all for jurying with digital images. Slides are expensive, cumbersome, and I only use them for show entries. I'm a little leery of having one point for all art show applications - I guess I'm paranoid that eventually all shows will converge into one huge, controlling, WalMart-esque entity..." Don't Get Zapped!
Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader? - "What Jessica Bowers (J Bowers Baltimore City Paper) thought were simple Klan figures, a Fifth Grader in any civics class in the US would whisper to their classmate, 'It's Abu Ghraib'. WOW, now that's about as wrong
as midnight and noon... At this rate of professional growth, Jessica Bowers, we are afraid, will
never never get out of Kansas!" About Show #7
Surreal Pop Art - "Driven by something he can't quite seem to put his finger on and something beyond his ability to control, over and over he sculpts a vision from his mind, a vision that he does not understand. Although his first efforts don't satisfy his mind's eye, he continues to search, to refine, until the time comes that he makes the connection between what is coming out of him and what it means..." Kris Hoglund
 Eat This - You're home alone again on another Friday night
with nothing to do. Here's a handfull of Hamberger recpies to warm up to, we really didn't know you could do all this to hamberger. Don't dispair, there's always Saturday night, good luck!

 "A year and a half ago, I received my Ph.D in philosophy from Boston University and currently, I am a Visiting Assistant Professor in philosophy at Connecticut College, in New London, Connecticut. Studying philosophy has allowed me to ignore some of the trends and pressures of the "art world" with a good conscience; I have no qualms about being representational." Stefanie Rocknak
 "I have been aware of my schizophrenic nature for most of my adult life. It seems sometimes that I have two or more people inside of me, each trying to express herself. I know that it shows in my work. For many years, after graduating from art school, I tried to produce a consistent body of work, suitable for the eyes of gallery owners, but trying to suppress one of my sides was producing a terrible schism in me." Aliyah Marr
 "Self-taught and continuously evolving, my passion and inspiration comes from all forms of life, emotions and spirituality. Striving for eternal bliss, I enjoy painting, making jewelry, designing web sites and learning about the true value of my existence from the best teachers in the world...my children." Sheri Mora
 "The term ARTHEALING is subject to copyright protection. I personally code and entitle the works of art with the term ARTHEALING. My artefacts which do not exhibit this term are not works with "targeted" magnetism. The information included in the pictures can of course be checked and verified using certain methods and devices." Gudrun Weerasinghe
