IZ Paintings
Isabelle Peabody has got the idea for selling original art over at IZ Painting. "If you are interested in one or multiple IZ paintings for your home or office, but need a certain color scheme and size please go to the contact us page to submit your request with your specifications."Reads like Kayla's about to explode!
Testimonial from Kayla Brown - Ord, Nebraska
"The painting arrived yesterday about 4pm and I love it! I looked at it in the light this morning and it is just what I wanted. I have a big plush colorful chair in my living room that sits opposite that wall and they coordinate so well! My living room will be so fun when it's all done! As I said, it will be the focal point of the whole room. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
Peabody refers to the paintings as company product instead of her personal work. Guess that's a good distinction to make give the service provided.
I'd love to offer a commission to a snooty artist to paint the interior of a building and be refused because the pure artist won't take direction. What would Michelangelo do?

Do you think it would ba a good idea to get an identity? I'm having trouble thinking of one, in case you think I should have one.

The thing about David Hasslehoff is, he's never done anything except operate a machine that actually stars in whatever show he happens to be "starring' in. I hear that he's a superstar in Germany.

I don't know, but for years I've been trying to create my own art. Sometimes it works, most of the time it fails.
Does this mean I'm a failure?

1) You have an identity, the challenge is to know it yourself.
3) The Hoff needs all our prayers now.
4) Try to stop trying, Cornelius.

The scene at Riverside Park, Chester-le-Street, where two people were killed after a massive inflatable sculpture tore free from its moorings in a gust of wind

Witnesses today described how a giant inflatable sculpture was picked up in a mild wind and collapsed over a park in County Durham, killing two and leaving 13 injured.
Investigators are still trying to piece together how the 2,500 square metre sculpture, titled Dreamspace, became detached from its moorings at Riverside Park in Chester-le-Street and flew up into the air yesterday.
Seven-year-old Chloe Wilson, who was in the park at the time, returned to the spot today to lay flowers where a 68-year-old woman was killed after being thrown from the structure.

"There was loads of people running about and we tried to run towards it after it came down on the ground. Lots of people were trying to rip it open with their hands and little knives and I was asking if I could help," she said.
"It was very scary and people were screaming. I saw a lady clinging on and then falling out and she was lying on the ground with people around her. I think she died. I really wanted to come here today and put some flowers down."
Mark Spooner told BBC Radio Five Live that he heard the guy ropes snapping before it was overturned by a gust of wind.
"As you heard them snap the wind just got underneath the belly of it and it lifted right up. It flicked right over. We thought it was going to come over and land on us. At the time you're just thinking, 'There are people inside that'."
He said it drifted for 20-30 metres across the park before catching on a pole. "About 40 men came from out of the park and they ran over and we all just started ripping it up with our hands. I remember sticking my head through and shouting, 'Get out, get out.' If it had gone any more it would have been down in the river."
Chris Gillott, 20, saw the incident from the park's café where he works. "As it was up in the air I saw a woman fall out of the corner. She landed on a concrete path and then bounced on the grass. She did not move after that," he said.
John Tubbrit was having a picnic with his wife Raj and their three-year-old daughter Nicole when the inflatable flew into the air, forcing them to run from its path.
"We were thinking of going in and having a look around with the bairn but we thought we would leave it for five minutes or so. Then there was a noise which sounded just like a snap and I'm almost certain it was a rope.
"The back came up pretty slowly at first and then it was vertical. My wife grabbed the bairn and started running but she went in the wrong direction. By the time I got to her the thing was on my back. Thankfully there was a light breeze which lifted it off us and at that point there was absolute bedlam," he said.
"You could see people inside this thing just dropping down through it. You could see bodies sliding down the lining of the thing. It was very, very surreal and very slow to happen."
Emergency services today had cleared the park of the shredded PVC debris of the sculpture, which was torn apart by rescuers attempting to reach about 30 people trapped.
The artwork consisted of 115 cells of multi-coloured PVC inflated to form a maze-like structure through which members of the public were encouraged to wander and explore.
It was created by Maurice Agis, an artist who has been making similar "walk-through" spaces since the 1960s and has been touring the world for 10 years. The 74-year-old artist held on to the sculpture to try to stop it blowing away.
Paloma Brotons, Mr Agis's partner for nearly 15 years, said: "He has been working to make people happy all these years, and suddenly he has made people unhappy; and he cannot bear that. He has been working with inflatables for 30 years and nothing like this has ever happened before." Ms Brotons said Mr Agis was too distressed to comment in person.
There were two similar incidents last year. Three children were hurt when a bouncy castle flipped over in high winds during a football tournament in Staffordshire, and Scotland's Fife council banned inflatables from their land after two children were seriously injured when a bouncy castle flew 200 feet along the Troon seafront in high winds.
Now THIS is what makes life interesting... the other cool thing in that rag was how Bob Geldof(someone who i despise to no end) had to cancel a concert in italy after less than 50 people turned up in a 12,000 capacity venue.

Is that you, Crazy Talk?
Actually, no. I'm Jacob Cornelius.
Who is this Crazy Talk you speak of?
Hey, Art Slob!

Crazy Talk was/is someone with ideas and behaviour which seem strange to me. Strange in that such things are not familiar to me and how I act myself.
For instance you, Jacob Cornelius, remind me of Crazy Talk by your actions. Posting four separate comments on someone elses blog (mine), and following that with the lengthy text of a newspaper article seems strange to me.
Something like that happened with Crazy Talk. It's more enthusiam than I appreciate.
Thanks for the question.
I suppose that, in the art world, there are the artists, who seek truth and the sharing of ideas, and the freaks, who by virtue of their inner demons seek to hide out in the reputedly rarified air of artiness.
All the best.
