Wrong direction Mr. Brodie

// November 29th, 2007 // No Comments » // Blog

nfotxn I don’t want to talk about my shitty life. It’s too easy for me to go there. I need to get to a more positive place and so, I won’t mention that my finances stink, I’ll be hearing creditors calling me for a while, I have no employment future except the one I make (39 yrs old was 1987), I need a new car, my sex life (thank gawd I still get horny) is more limited now that almost all the men I’ve loved have died, being African American was a burden at birth, but, that’s not where I am right now. I’m working on turning that shit around and, so far, things don’t look like shit. Thank you very much.

New Pocket Camera

// November 26th, 2007 // No Comments » // Blog

I got this on sale, like I usually buy things, for quick use when I don’t always want to take a full sized camera. It’s such a toyish little thing but, it does video. More podcasting is now available. Remember TJ Norris? He’s heading here for the art fairs. we’ll meetup and do a podcast and dinner maybe, some touring around the fairs. But, I have finals during that time and, plans to meet a bunch of other people from out of town and out of the US.

Artist Entrepreneurs Group Meetup, 17 Nov.

// November 17th, 2007 // No Comments » // Blog

Today was a great Meetup. Thanks again to Marlon Hill, Esq. for his fantastic presentation on starting a business, copyrights, contracts and licensing your art. These Meetups are changing the dynamic of my personal artist relationships in Miami in a good way. I need to make business cards, like yesterday.

I was at a gallery opening last night to sign two books titled, Miami Contemporary Artists, that are to be auctioned off. While there I got quizzed about the Artist Entrepreneurs Group Meetup. One artist there was questioning whether or not to sign the gallery contract. Duh! Sign it girl! If you don’t like it, have your attorney draw up something else. You don’t have an attorney? You need one. And, if you weren’t there, you missed out.

In January will be a presentation by a Tax Accountant, just in time to give us the low down before the April deadline for personal taxes.
