I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself. My name is Krystin Goodsell, and I am a mixed media visual artist. I have been asked to stand at the helm of Outsider Art In A Box as Rhonda is embarking on a great big international leap! </p><br /><br /><br /><p>I have been a contributing artist to OAIAB since it's conception, and I can only hope to do it as much creative justice as Rhonda did. I have some pretty remarkable shoes to fill.</p><br /><br /><br /><p>You may view samples of my work here: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Krystin-Goodsell/8375502345?sk=photos#!/video/video.php?v=495221565648&oid=8375502345&comments">http://www.facebook.com/pages/Krystin-Goodsell/8375502345?sk=photos#!/video/video.php?v=495221565648&oid=8375502345&comments</a></p><br /><br /><br /><p>Rhonda, may Mexico embrace you and your art, and know that we will think of you often!

As we spring i wanted to blog about my direction and my shape as an artist. The first pic is a picture of yours truly,yep its me Rhonda the mover and shaker behind Outsider Art In A Box now i am not one for posting my picture as like others i don't enjoy having my pic taken but felt that at times when u read blogs its like reading someones ghost stories,u see lots of words but no connection to who is writing them.<br /><br />The title of this entry is fitting cause i question myself on a regular basis as to what does shape me as an artist. Well the second pic is two books i just finished recently one the Book of Negroes was gifted to me at xmas and the other is a library book,both have impacted me in huge ways and naturally more questions i am left with to reflect on.<br /><br />The Book of Negroes has fueled me in working more in terms of myself as a black womin and to incorporate that into my creativity . Its interesting if one pays attention to ideas that are asking for our attention in our creative expression and<br />my heritage continues to nudge me until its acknowledged.<br /><br />Supplies a book by Julia Cameron author of Artists Way truly validated my experiences in the Artist Community at large here in Vancouver BC. I encourage u artists to pick up this book remain open and let the words flow.I understand in many ways why i chose to remain a solo artist. I am beginning to evaluate and challenge my creative process which is a good thing it keeps work fresh.<br /><br />What changes are u making in your creative process??<br /><br />Are u a solo artist or more of a group artist?<br /><br />What have u learned about yourself as an artist in the last year?<br /><br />Well Creatives heres to springing!!!<br /><br />Happy Creative Day..<br /><br />In Artistic Solidarity;<br />Rhonda<br /></span></span>Outsider Art In A Boxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04979975414392996031noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26409409.post-49043371974925720422008-03-17T10:03:00.009-07:002011-07-30T13:19:48.222-07:00Oops!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-cO-4mbuyC2NZDHgSfAA62qgkxMXSGCxjc-uROUvXDpEXzgBAekI2IdFdieFF4a80AtlRuqsTxzhgTEdNhw0ZaYNfNYBZBNrHGlfppi8fKw19daeOGI0XSqaHY0WnNsxNdxG6/s1600-h/100_0478.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; FLOAT: left; CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178761439037543634" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-cO-4mbuyC2NZDHgSfAA62qgkxMXSGCxjc-uROUvXDpEXzgBAekI2IdFdieFF4a80AtlRuqsTxzhgTEdNhw0ZaYNfNYBZBNrHGlfppi8fKw19daeOGI0XSqaHY0WnNsxNdxG6/s320/100_0478.jpg" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRCqa9VvO69VjhXCJln_3dFVgZvh336mH4RLuhpDfS7BdG0n_iik8HdWoql3COuJfSycXt9rZzYjoUw7lD2TfYoSTw_ng0JyIvRIoXIHS4Xkh_zsAnHgAy8_69hQQCJtpq3Isf/s1600-h/100_0479.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; FLOAT: left; CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178760734662907074" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgRCqa9VvO69VjhXCJln_3dFVgZvh336mH4RLuhpDfS7BdG0n_iik8HdWoql3COuJfSycXt9rZzYjoUw7lD2TfYoSTw_ng0JyIvRIoXIHS4Xkh_zsAnHgAy8_69hQQCJtpq3Isf/s320/100_0479.jpg" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsF6R1ZM_oAdxnocm7sNs_wuoL2TUlUFLLbHHxdK66vhK2KRV6jWjew6e5KzuscDhg12h_ecLhX3pYx6osERERiNZzoQqwe8i7Pag9YjobeBCThxk3SZQUwXVhcPcsR5zZuW9B/s1600-h/100_0480.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; FLOAT: left; CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178760343820883122" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsF6R1ZM_oAdxnocm7sNs_wuoL2TUlUFLLbHHxdK66vhK2KRV6jWjew6e5KzuscDhg12h_ecLhX3pYx6osERERiNZzoQqwe8i7Pag9YjobeBCThxk3SZQUwXVhcPcsR5zZuW9B/s320/100_0480.jpg" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglCFxftM8ye3027Q3lSaZkjdh5E_O0o4aWjfeW-bWY0kXtiF4CbhyxKFNcc6w-6-8Z9e6m7yrkRKj2ahaS_7YJSElHTLPaskeeij1qlzNkVhCR1KRLfRRSnBiUPyWt_6XBwRKG/s1600-h/100_0483.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; FLOAT: left; CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178760077532910754" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglCFxftM8ye3027Q3lSaZkjdh5E_O0o4aWjfeW-bWY0kXtiF4CbhyxKFNcc6w-6-8Z9e6m7yrkRKj2ahaS_7YJSElHTLPaskeeij1qlzNkVhCR1KRLfRRSnBiUPyWt_6XBwRKG/s320/100_0483.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(102,0,204)"><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Good Morrow Creatives;<br />I had good intentions of writing here in blog land and it kept getting put off so here i am...The above pics are the last of my collage class with empty sky and that quality time has been missed,i feel at a loss as it kept me focused on the creativity at hand.<br /><br />Taking a course is a great way to experiment,challenge and incorporate diverse approaches into ones artful expression.I must say i am looking at pushing some limits in my own art.<br /><br />The first pic is a book we created the book was blank so i played with bees wax as texture,i love the color and the central theme of balance & peace.

Collage is an interesting medium and Empty Sky is an awesome facilitator with loads of experience..<br /><br />Lots going on here at Outsider central, over the next few months i will update you all. The above pics give a bit of insight into my collage journey and i thought it was fitting to create a piece for my celebration and acknowledgment of Black History. The other pics are collage creations on a time limit the whole idea is not to over think but just do.<br /><br />The last pic is a focused student,my friend Cindy. I raved so much about the class that Cindy signed up in the fourth week of class.. Gotta love the power of creativity.<br /><br />Hmm u may have noticed that i removed Outsider Art In A Box Subscription(On The Right) with my present and upcoming schedule i am streamlining some of my commitments so until further notice it will be on hold.<br /><br />Well i have overdue reading to catch up on and writing...

I am also taking a 9 week hands on Collage course with Famous Empty Sky at Britannia Community Center(there is still space) this starts on Monday as well as i will be facilitating an Art Party, details to follow here on the blog within the next few days.<br /><br />I've noticed my own lack of creative interest and felt i needed to kickstart it so the hands on art course is a beginning. Having the time off over the holidays allowed me to reflect over Outsider.

This is a festival of inner renewal.<br /></span><span style="font-family:Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica;font-size:100%;">The Winter Solstice is unique among days of the year — the time of the longest night and the shortest day. The dark triumphs but only briefly. For the Solstice is also a turning point. From now on (until the Summer Solstice, at any rate), the nights grow shorter and the days grow longer, the dark wanes and the Sun waxes in power. From the dark womb of the night, the light is born.<br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(102,0,204)"><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Winter Solstice is my celebration for this time of the year and so i've been bringing solstice in a big way,last night i organized a cookie drop in, great turn out 14 womyn with many sweets in hand and then tonight off to a solstice party. The pics above is a funky mirror hanging in my office kewl eh!!! Yes that is the cookie table early evening it got fuller. Well dear readers i am signing off now until the New Year .......Happy Holidaze from Mi Casa Su Casa.<br /><br /><br />In Artistic Solidarity;<br />Rhonda<br /></span></span></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /></span>Outsider Art In A Boxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04979975414392996031noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26409409.post-66073197271266484252007-12-12T09:38:00.002-08:002011-07-30T13:29:36.605-07:00The Gifts Of Creative Xpression<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd8qZ0qSo9ClBmDB4eyvNWmxDNh9hHjlKc-kOWezOaQ52HlI2ZlUvGWOjPgJe9yT5I-zrawikSkwdSOy_uFLTxUBahFhFvifnDLSRUqrOiZRAuOL6D6s3mM1zncUO8ZIBk7d_1/s1600-h/100_0419.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; FLOAT: left; CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143143662851301090" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd8qZ0qSo9ClBmDB4eyvNWmxDNh9hHjlKc-kOWezOaQ52HlI2ZlUvGWOjPgJe9yT5I-zrawikSkwdSOy_uFLTxUBahFhFvifnDLSRUqrOiZRAuOL6D6s3mM1zncUO8ZIBk7d_1/s320/100_0419.jpg" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4-ykiLHIMPCRzIqRQcew_fbs2Bl7vHRRy6wAglpbuPHH1cp66PhhaleuBGTzvxTANVdLNOKbBOhZCOAQPUC8jusptXOW_E4tSFfBDdKfUZkSbhYieVLI114JCEds2wgubNICt/s1600-h/gse_multipart35844.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; FLOAT: left; CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143143426628099794" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4-ykiLHIMPCRzIqRQcew_fbs2Bl7vHRRy6wAglpbuPHH1cp66PhhaleuBGTzvxTANVdLNOKbBOhZCOAQPUC8jusptXOW_E4tSFfBDdKfUZkSbhYieVLI114JCEds2wgubNICt/s320/gse_multipart35844.jpg" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS5t-J_Uu1Z2KGA-rt6ciDUqg5vtQy5CpWwc0KyBZSw1NaQ9dOBKiUTPhhD-mxZmWlf71V1fhmdTlRTdTi4_8MGzXmatcUeXZuvFJ4LCk4OlJy24wUE9IxBLUMaCLLmv2bRXgT/s1600-h/100_0407.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; FLOAT: left; CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143143306369015490" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS5t-J_Uu1Z2KGA-rt6ciDUqg5vtQy5CpWwc0KyBZSw1NaQ9dOBKiUTPhhD-mxZmWlf71V1fhmdTlRTdTi4_8MGzXmatcUeXZuvFJ4LCk4OlJy24wUE9IxBLUMaCLLmv2bRXgT/s320/100_0407.jpg" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi85TV8gNU_C0RxSw8IGEFurOUwUI75icuYi39zDyy0WF4zlipTkJALcRZhCTs0X0c5gr4Dejw-RfNR9gnfgnHO68cag2mBoxxU12DkOX0PwCv_Tew43zUI96ouFQG4Kte_1QJS/s1600-h/100_0411.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; FLOAT: left; CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143143010016272050" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi85TV8gNU_C0RxSw8IGEFurOUwUI75icuYi39zDyy0WF4zlipTkJALcRZhCTs0X0c5gr4Dejw-RfNR9gnfgnHO68cag2mBoxxU12DkOX0PwCv_Tew43zUI96ouFQG4Kte_1QJS/s320/100_0411.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="COLOR: rgb(102,0,204)"><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Happy Solstice Blessings;<br />Its beginning to look <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">alot</span> like celebrations are a brewing....People ask me do i like Christmas and yeah babies i do!!! actually what i like is celebrations that happen through out the year and creating my own celebrations which i have gone ahead an done this year for Winter Solstice ...My year has been challenging many loses but then there have been new beginnings so ya see it all balances out in the end is the way i see it.

Gastown is full of diverse inspiration as u can see from some of the pics i took. The galleries in gastown are full of great talent and loads of creative xpression. Its great when u have someone that lives in a particular hood in a city as u see things that are non touristy its an awesome experience.<br /><br />I was saying to myself the other day ya know Rhonda its all and good that u facilitate this public art project but what about your small stuff,my involvement has been nil in terms of creating my own creative wares. its very easy to become bogged down in the day to day details of the logistics of Outsider or any other public art project that is ongoing. So this is changing in small ways that will lead to big steps..Stay Tuned!!!<br /><br />I also wanted to encourage you to check out two of Outsiders Artists that participated in the Annual Granville Island Ferries Great Garbage Can Art Contest and Auction on September 21st/2007<br /><br />http://walkingwithkrystin.blogspot.com/<br /><br />http://brushedwithmagic.com/blog/<br /><br />Create On....<br /><br />In Artistic Solidarity;<br />Rhonda<br /><br /></span></span><h3 class="post-title"><a href="http://walkingwithkrystin.blogspot.com/2007/09/21st-annual-granville-island-ferries.html"><br /></a></h3>Outsider Art In A Boxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04979975414392996031noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26409409.post-52591182231607467032007-09-14T11:06:00.000-07:002008-12-10T23:21:09.892-08:00Who R The People In Your Neighborhood and Beyond<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheurUsEkwvQSKBeesB__r5hYqRTZDgw-JU4wGPr2IB4a_b7xm3nAuh6lOtSy6mYEVUeEHZwL1TEBX2UamopLeEIQnUmZvGUloJX2AcAW25YNQnfzv6OENHRmrnJ5zc9YzjN2Pc/s1600-h/100_0220.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheurUsEkwvQSKBeesB__r5hYqRTZDgw-JU4wGPr2IB4a_b7xm3nAuh6lOtSy6mYEVUeEHZwL1TEBX2UamopLeEIQnUmZvGUloJX2AcAW25YNQnfzv6OENHRmrnJ5zc9YzjN2Pc/s320/100_0220.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5110125953721770658" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN10t2IdeXlUvS1ndQ3pE-50hLhXFe6ux60yq7Qy7OmFZKnmcvOIhMPlfYwSnTc07OqKoDuqTl78aq_mRU4tEx2VxwUWzP6kZsoeeVy_hMlwh0i6_Lc8tXU4mS-Ho9dTgeqCmM/s1600-h/100_0221.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjN10t2IdeXlUvS1ndQ3pE-50hLhXFe6ux60yq7Qy7OmFZKnmcvOIhMPlfYwSnTc07OqKoDuqTl78aq_mRU4tEx2VxwUWzP6kZsoeeVy_hMlwh0i6_Lc8tXU4mS-Ho9dTgeqCmM/s320/100_0221.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5110125764743209618" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7rtyErt3fnsl4uGW-WCjAWtGX6O1i-kdpSHzvA29D3p3OzfGIQJkti3QjNZ65QAiF_oPT0ybQPrqLLmcM62A2TJiPiHwE1j-zYQIXWgS3JsXq9U5G7-lwTy0lM54d-TvcQIeG/s1600-h/100_0218.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7rtyErt3fnsl4uGW-WCjAWtGX6O1i-kdpSHzvA29D3p3OzfGIQJkti3QjNZ65QAiF_oPT0ybQPrqLLmcM62A2TJiPiHwE1j-zYQIXWgS3JsXq9U5G7-lwTy0lM54d-TvcQIeG/s320/100_0218.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5110125494160269954" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqNI9JxyaWYqEd5Qlr_g24HnQcYNejNIoZuo8XisvPHuU8s6Z1tcRQVHqsp82KwGDRB1wAZQWF6Kg8M_pVEeU2FPFsdtLbVhV1H3JI1vQ-GHYS494Whf2uioMA235VY1SoBsPT/s1600-h/100_0213.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqNI9JxyaWYqEd5Qlr_g24HnQcYNejNIoZuo8XisvPHuU8s6Z1tcRQVHqsp82KwGDRB1wAZQWF6Kg8M_pVEeU2FPFsdtLbVhV1H3JI1vQ-GHYS494Whf2uioMA235VY1SoBsPT/s320/100_0213.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5110125253642101362" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Well here is another beauty day in the neighborhood!!<br />My creative life <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">runneth</span> over and for that i am grateful for the experiences that i am <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">participating</span> in.

Pottery was my first love and i have been away from it for a number of years i gotta say that i was intimidated and unsure where to start.<br /><br />I am going to make some creations for Outsider but this will take some thought as to what...The above pics of some clay discs that i am making for a sculpture it is <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">kewl</span> mixing different art mediums,the other pic is a shot of the pottery studio.<br /><br />The last two pics are of my journey to see the Monet-Dali show at the Vancouver Art Gallery Can i say AWESOME!! IT WAS BREATHTAKING the downside was the crowds it somewhat limited me in reading everything about the Artist.I got the stamp of the Gallery on my hand if i wanted to go back in that night at a later time i was way too exhausted.The other two floors also had great exhibits and were easier to navigate in.

I truly have been on a long break and continued evaluation of the project. I am slowly getting back into creativity as somewhere i lost the will of creative expression it just up and left. Slowly i feel that deep within voice and feeling of creative expression in me but i need to be gentle for fear of losing it again.<br /><br />Yesterday i got overwhelmed with a creative burst of energy and i nudged it into a slow motion action,a small hall wall was calling out for an identity of its own,wallpaper came to mind but what??? i glanced around my space and there was my whole case of pattern pieces calling to be put on the wall it was a very fitting exercise of emotional and creative exploration.As each piece of the pattern had its place and refused to be slapped into place without some thought.<br /><br />Unfortunately i was unable to get a decent picture of the patterned wall but i will keep on trying...My dear friend Cindy E. bought me a new digital camera as a belated birthday gift so that i could continue to go forward in my life and capture my creative expression.

After last week being a tad down and unsure where Outsider is calling home,i decided to get over it and just go with the flow and flow i did this weekend.<br /><br />I received beautiful unexpected blessings and lessons...</span></span><span style="COLOR: rgb(102,0,204)"><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">Unfortunately</span></span><span style="COLOR: rgb(102,0,204)"><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"> i never made it to the studio this weekend the intention was there but the flow was taking me elsewhere but thats why i am up early this beautiful Monday so i can make a creative dash and create while i have the space...<br /><br />So the pic above is a story i would love to share about flowing. Thursday Night the phone rang and someone was going on about i wasn't sure what and i assumed it was a pesky telemarketer i was just about to blow them off when i heard Outsider Art In A Box mentioned, hmmm my ears perked up and i tuned in...Well it so happens that Molly Clark(on end of phone) a producer for a Art Series out of the USA was surfing on the web and came across Outsider Art In A Box and they would like to interview me on their way to Alaska.<br /><br />Well needless to say i was in my art centre and my mood increased tenfold,maybe life didn't suck after all lol lol<br /><br />So it was arranged for Saturday as they were coming from Seattle...Well Saturday dawned and the beauty day called forth and so onward i went flowing... it was an awesome day spent with fabo friends,loads of spontaneous events took place and there i was right in the middle of it... Well early afternoon came about and no call from Artland yet??? My friend and i were still hanging and she was in need of food our location was on beautiful Main St.<br /><br />I suggested several places that were very crowded and so i finally said we gotta go to Sollys that place rocked and we could sit and and enjoy the outside tables. So there i sit at Sollys with the perfect Outside seat taking it all in, when suddenly i see this oversize RV turning left in huge letters and very colorful written on the Rv ARTLAND!!!<br /><br />Imagine my surprise and i am thinking wow and then hey i am supposed to get interviewed,well they roll to a stop in front of Sollys i go up and knock introduce myself to Claire part of the production team of Artland, So she explains to me that the cameraman was unable to cross the boarder and so everything was set back but they would be in touch and still would be interested in the interview,Molly Clark who spoke to me on the phone was also back in Seattle trying to problem solve so that their cameraman could continue the journey.<br /><br />For more info about ARTLAND .................WWW.ARTLANDUSA.TV<br /><br />So that was an bonus part of my day on Saturday, it always amazes when one door closes other windows and doors open.. If anything i know of this weekend that Outsider will continue to live and be part of my journey,this public art project has taken me down many roads inside of self and outside in the real world..<br /><br />Thank-You for those that stuck with me through the growing pains its been damn appreciated let me tell you!!! and hey if you are stopping in here leave me a comment say hi!!! I love to hear from those that stop by..<br /><br />Well my people its time to sign off and jump into another day of adventure and some unknowns..<br /><br />Create On!!<br /><br />In Artistic Solidarity;<br />Rhonda<br /></span></span>Outsider Art In A Boxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04979975414392996031noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26409409.post-53916734064871288982007-06-27T13:50:00.001-07:002008-12-10T23:21:12.575-08:00Ask What??????????<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqciA1Mjzgpmdd4lTNjwg9Id-w-UTPS45TJ3MuuBvzCcI1Wu5wBQG93tE7oGDO0GD3g-nWGxFMeP4bvRZWcGHEgUgf5D90Q3bVABPuHPha0WKuGdlsQNQVFFWW67NHr9lYktih/s1600-h/DSC02916.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqciA1Mjzgpmdd4lTNjwg9Id-w-UTPS45TJ3MuuBvzCcI1Wu5wBQG93tE7oGDO0GD3g-nWGxFMeP4bvRZWcGHEgUgf5D90Q3bVABPuHPha0WKuGdlsQNQVFFWW67NHr9lYktih/s320/DSC02916.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5080849572933893842" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);">The studio has been a busy spot since i moved in, Sunday was a singles womyns Art Party alot of neat stuff came out of it...I love this particular card that was created by a particpant and it just touched me little did i know how impacting it would be.<br /><br />Yesterday i got a call from my studio mate giving notice that the studio will be no more!!! yep u heard me..so i thought with organizing other artists would enable me to keep the space. Then another curve was thrown my way the rent of $1400 would be going up to $2800 and so the studio is not attainable at that price even with artists... So i am sad trying to suck it up and move on.....Moving on to where i don't know.<br /><br />I am putting it out there for a large live/work space in Vancouver!!! Please if u do live in Vancouver keep your eyes and ears open as i am handy and can do somethings to make it my own. Its funny things truly were in Launch mode and people were supportive of the happenings at the studio. So ask the card says ASK???<br /><br />I am Asking help me to find Outsider a settled home...affordable!!!<br /><br />Thanx people...<br /><br />In Artistic Solidarity;<br />Rhonda<br /></span></span>Outsider Art In A Boxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04979975414392996031noreply@blogger.com1
