how can one try to hide the truth in plain sight? probably like this.
Artist statement for the "Getting Funky with It" large drawings.
I'm always hungry, the bad apples

If only they knew!
These are the most overtly symbolic works I have ever made, actually representing concrete experiences and relationships of mine, in a way I have never dared before.
However, I have decided to keep secret the concrete details, because they are stories I haven't told yet. Only a few people have heard of any one of them.
The experience was eye opening for me, and very productive in the art as therapy aspect.
I am looking forward to working with some of the same themes again soon, although probably in a different format.
I have several more thumbnails done, for other drawings in the series, and still have quite a lot of sheets of this paper.

I have freely mixed styles in this series, they are united only by the Canson Guarro 185 gram drawing paper that they are made on, and the fact that they are mostly done in BiC biro, the ubiquitous BiC Crystal, although also in pencil and Pilot HiTechpoint 0.5mm technical pens
This pricing structure is also only valid for you here and now with the same conditions as we talked about, where you are buying the work outright and reselling it for your profit.
I hope to make you rich
It is impossible to give one price for these, as they represent vastly different amounts of time invested.
I have made some estimation, as I only remember how long the whole series took me.
don't know where I went wrong
black, blue green and red biro, and black, blue, green and red Pilot HiTechpoint 0.5mm technical pens on paper 70 X 50 cm four days work approx
or 15 days for the five drawings.
once again I am open to going lower this concrete case, but need to be careful that it remains viable to work for the future.
Also you said you would be paying the shipping costs, but I assume not packaging costs?
I would be able do the packaging to get them to you. This is my duty. If there is money in the budget to compensate me for this I would not refuse it.
:)
These drawings would be safest to send them rolled up, not my favourite way but good for this case. If you were able to store them spread out, in a folder, that would be good.

These works are also sensitive in the same way as I said for the stones, they need to be protected in storage or on display. They are sensitive to water and to any liquids, and they are easily dirtied, like all paper. They have no type of fixative or protection at all, and need careful handling.
sorry is the hardest word

This was the statement and information which I sent with my proposal and images of this work, for the chance for representation with a new and exciting gallery online and offline based in China.
I wrote too much in the other documents, but probably too little in this one.
Thanks for reading, if indeed anybody got this far
If anyone would like to see an extensive, although unfortunately by no means complete, collection of SpaiNgaroo artworks, they can visit my main domain
There is some work for sale at Saatchi online gallery
and a Redbubble print on demand shop
and a fabric and wallpaper shop on Spoonflower too although many of the designs are still not available for sale.
sorry
Blame it on the sunshine,
blame it on the moonlight,
blame it on the good times,
now blame it on the steemit.

jaja
Hey, sorry I hadn't replied to this yet.
It has been a difficult week.
Between doggies getting bit and all the people getting hit
But I look on your blog and you have so many posts since the mexico one that I saw last. jaja
steemit is too hard
Yeah, I dont really understand how the system works, but it does a lot of good to gave some comments to react directly on the stuff we are presenting to the world.
Doggies getting bit and people getting hit ... hehehe where were you?!?
well, the doggies getting bit were here with me, and the people getting hit tended to be on the other side of the world, but the internet brings it all together
:)
hahaha really? How many dogs do you have there?? Yes, it surely brings it all together alright ,... it does give a voice to those unheard by other mediums
I have nine insane canids, or nine lovely little souls, depending on how you are looking at them.
And there are three feline beasts too, two of whom are pretty cool, one of however is a fool.
spoken in Mr T's voice
hahahaha in Mr.T`s voice!! Nine dogs and three cats!!! Wow... that is a lot of pet food to buy! I have a cat and she is an absolute fool as well, or perhaps insane is more appropriate

Very cool artwork. Its interesting and thought provoking and even hypnotic in a way. That's amazing that they are hand drawn with pen or pencil. The intricacy is incredible.
I should have included some details I suppose, as they are big, for me at least, and they reproduce here so small.
I might write a post describing some of the things that came out in each one.
And that'd be a good excuse for details.
thanks for the visit and the comment.
I haven't been by your blog in ages, steemit is hard for me.
I can't work out a system that I can actually do
Hey no problem. I completely understand.
I'm actually in the same situation. I went back to University and have very little time for Steemit right now (this weekend being an exception). Some of my recent posts have been short and not all that insightful. I just have no time to write at the moment - so you're not missing anything from me hahaha.
Anyway, we will see each other around periodically I'm sure :)
