A conversation...
My wife, Sherry, has been creating and publishing books to Amazon. Her latest is a coloring book that is really fun. She’s working on creating one using some of my works as well and we will let folks know when that becomes available.
I hope you will take a look at her new book and pass along to others you think might be interested! You can catch her latest creations and view her shop at https://merrysherryscreations.com
Happy Spring!
“The Neighborhood” series of original artwork will be available in my booth at the Summer 2021 Oklahoma City Festival of the Arts. The show dates are June 22-27, 2021 and I am in booth 24B.
This fun little series evokes the feeling of a “Creature Apartment Neighborhood”. It makes a humorous and interesting installation when two or more of the framed series are hung in a row. Since we have all recently come through a time where we were watching our world largely through our windows, I thought how creatures might have participated in the same experience. I will post a couple of images in an upcoming post.
If you need information about the upcoming festival, you can visit their web page at Festival of the Arts – Arts Council Oklahoma City (artscouncilokc.com) or their Facebook page at Arts Council Oklahoma City | Facebook.
I am very happy to announce that I will be exhibiting at the Summer 2021 Oklahoma City Festival of the Arts. The show dates are June 22-27, 2021. You can visit their website at Festival of the Arts – Arts Council Oklahoma City (artscouncilokc.com) or their Facebook page at Arts Council Oklahoma City | Facebook.
This is my first show since the end of the 2019 season as the pandemic began just at the start of Spring 2020 shows. It has been a tough year for everyone – and some have faced terrible hardships. My hope is that, as 2021 moves forward, we will see a continuing return to something “more normal” than this past year.
I appreciate very much the people who have contacted me via this site throughout the pandemic. You have been a huge encouragement to me and I am looking forward to seeing in person those of you who can come out to the show!
Will be heading to Tulsa in a couple of days to set up for the 2019 show. Very excited about the show – which is moving to a new location in Tulsa. I’m sure they are advertising like crazy – but if you are coming out to the show – check out their website and Facebook page for updates. I have a LOT of new small originals and some larger ones as well. I hope to see you there!
If you are business owner with a website, you are no doubt painfully aware of the madness surrounding the EU User Consent Compliance Update. If you are coming to this site, please note that you will see ads (through Google AdSense) and you may encounter cookies. You can visit Google to find information on how cookies are being handled by their advertising partners. Currently, I do not have a way to give you an option to accept/not accept cookies within this site, but am working toward that goal. I do not have an option for you to sign up to receive notifications so I do not gather personal information of that nature. If you contact me through the contact form, that information gets stored within the database for this site but is never “mined” or shared with anyone – and in fact I’m 100% sure I would have no idea how to pull up that information if my life depended on it. I don’t create websites – I create art. I passively accept the pennies (literally) passed along through the Google Ads that you click on – but I’ve been doing that for over 5 years and have yet to make the first $100 before they will cut me a check. You should check out Google’s advertising policies though as they, being the “Big Guys” in this situation are making every effort to comply to the letter of the new compliance regulations.
This is an enormously complex and difficult process, with precious little documentation that is helpful to the small-time blogger/business person like myself. I simply appeal to your good will to be patient while we wait for all the rules and regulations to settle down and for sensible and useful information to be made available to “little people” like me and countless others with a website. My wife will then dutifully try to figure out how to incorporate that process into this website.
If you are like me and didn’t already know – most modern browsers already come with an option to decline use of cookies – but most people who have done so quickly become painfully aware that their web experience is heavily degraded. Nonetheless, that is certainly a choice you must make for yourself.
Please note that I do not ship products outside the continental US and have no plans to do so in the future. I strongly doubt anyone from the EU has ever come across my little website. If you have, howdy and welcome and I hope you are doing more on this website than reading this particular blog post.
