Welcome to ART MALARKEY. This blog is a continuation of my growing personality and must be viewed as such. I apologize ahead of time for anything ignorant or arrogant that I may write but just so you know at the time
it was written I really meant every fucking word of it.

Truth about clients
These are a great series posted on youtube about client artist relationship very funny stuff.
Where this blog belongs!
Recently I was watching an episode of Southland. One of those TNT exclusive series. One of the characters commented on his wife's obsession with blogging. If memory serves me correctly (and recently it often doesn't) he referred to it as "online ranting". I thought about his statement for a while and honestly couldn't completely dispute it. Now don't get me wrong I'm sure of the 185 mil plus blogs reported by Blog Herald in Feb 2007 millions had nothing to do with personal tirades yet I can bet that a majority of them did. Being 2010 I'm sure the total number of blogs are much higher. Technology has expanded the internet onto almost every laptop and phone not only putting it in every home but in every pocket. I would assume the number of blogs and blog readers are over the 500 mil mark by now. So that said here is my addition to the vast void of online tirades.
So maybe your asking where does this blog fit in and what makes it different from all the other griping artists? And who really cares about art anymore or the preservation of it? ...Well I do and I hope every other artist or connoisseur of art does and so I hope there is some commonality that will bind my personal rants to some of their own experiences. Though the possibility is slim my hopes are that if indeed this blog is stumbled upon it will do some good in edifying other artists on how to conduct themselves as not to fall prey to the art malarkey spewed by snakes posing as clients or to edify Clients who think freelance artist where placed on earth to do their bidding. Eventually my goal will be to help prevent the continual downward tail spin of the art profession and at the same time bring peace to the middle east while making United States of America the hero of all nations. Now despite the growth of the internet I am not completely naive and I understand there is a good possibility that this blog might never get read except by maybe a small group of family and friends but at the very least it will stand as journal and testament as to what drove me off the deep end and why I took to homes across America bludgeoning people with framed collections of my own work.
