Hey Fairfax!
My name is Alexis Tomrell and I'm with a experiential marketing/staffing company looking for amateur caricaturists or illustrators for a long running program between Feb.19 and March 25. Some of our work includes clients like AMC, Tostitos, AOL, Willy Wonka, etc.
I'm sending you this message because I thought some of your group members might be interested in the job we starting Sunday. Artists will be using a 5'' screen off the new Samsung Galaxy Note phone/tablet to draw caricatures of event attendees at local malls, particularly the closest to you, the Fair Oaks Mall. Others include: Mall in Columbia, Prince William, VA mall, and the one in Towson. The job will last five weeks and artists are able to work up to 40 hours a week. If your availability is limited to only a few days, that is perfectly fine. We would still love to hear from everyone!
The pay rate is $27/hr. The shifts are usually split from 10am-4pm and 4-9pm Monday-Friday and some openings on Saturday and Sunday. We are completely legit if you'd like to look us up www.eventprostrategies.com.
Anyway a couple other notes: 1. Really looking for artists to start this Sunday from 12-6pm at the various malls. You would get 45 min on, 15 min. off for the entire shift. 2. The design capabilities on the new Galaxy Note are fantastic! They've been using these at NY Fashion Week to sketch the runway.
Anyway, sorry to take up your time, but if you're interested have folks email me at ATomrell@eventprostrategies.com with:
-Full name
-Best contact info
-Two samples of work
-Current availability for the next two weeks
Thank you and have a fabulous day!

Retrospect
It's been about a decade since I've done anything artistic. So, it's a bit like stepping into an old abandoned house to see these works from years gone by. It's definitely different to look at what I did and what I said about it at the time. Looking back, I feel that, in the moment, perhaps I really didn't understand the truth behind the work or perhaps I understood, but was afraid to be honest about it (with myself and all of you). I certainly made mistakes. But I think those mistakes are part of the process. One of the most glaring mistakes can be seen in the journals where I talk ABOUT art; more specifically, how I speak of art-making as if "all artists are doing it for the same reasons", an a naive attempt to create a kind of Universal Theory of Art. That was just plain stupid. And again, perhaps this was simply to mask my true intentions. Here's the real reason, and again, it's only MY reason, not THE reason: I made Art because I wanted to be seen. I felt unseen. I felt myself
Done painting!
All done painting! I gave all my paintings away, because, well, no one was buying them. And quite frankly, I'm too god damned poor to take care of them.
Gone a new direction now:DSLR "filmmaking".
Been making mostly commercials for a salon so that I can get some god damned money to survive. Using the money to replace my worthless fucking "fine arts" materials, with DSLR Gear.
Running 2 Canon T2i cameras with Magic Lantern Firmware and a bunch of fucking M42 mount Pentax lenses. Got a fuckton of Condenser microphones and a Zoom R24 for Audio, which s nice, because it means I can ditch my 12 cannel mixer. Looking forward to the Zoom H6,
Personal review
I think I prefer to work in the foreground because it allows me to avoid problems with the horizon. The horizon has always been problematic to me.
In wall art, horizon dictates the propper height of the viewer. It means, once I have decided upon the size of my canvas and the location of a horizon line, I have predetermined the optimal viewing height of the observer. Yet, as an artist, I have little control over the architecture of a room that the work will ultimately be exhibited in, or even the height. Quite often, the height is determined by a designer, and constrained by the celing height of the room. So an over sized painting is oft
Art as Argument
Like a good argument, art is the conclusive presentation, which rests upon sound propositions. The legitimacy of that conclusion is determined by the logical structure of it's propositions, when they are known and accepted.
The problem with much of Contemporary art is that the propositions are not known by the general public, nor even, in many cases, of the artist's own peers. And often times, when it is made explicit, it can remain unaccepted among the initiate, because in the minds of these creative insiders, the universe itself is not a fixed thing, but rather a collection of ever changing variables. Therein, we find both, the dilemma a
