I have seen the billboards and the ads in the newspaper and even been told by a friend and an artist about the RED BULL Art of Can - Call for artists for the Houston, TX show. Of course mostly they show sculptures of made from the cans. But that's not me.
Then I learned that you can submit any artwork as long as it is inspired by RED BULL. Mind you that the time is 3pm CST and the artists must drop off their art by 5pm. I run home and get the one last of sugar-free RED BULL left in my frigerator - I run around the house looking for good places to take photos of the can. Then run to my computer to begin my master manipulation of the photos - since there was words on the labels it kind of fit with my word series. I wanted it to be visually abstract but remind you of a clock, and hopefully you get the feeling of pressure.
So I finished the piece, I printed it off as an 8"x8" framed to a 16"x20" (good thing to have spare matts and frames around) - then I printed off the entry forms and ran to Winter Street Studios where they were collecting all the entries this week (and I wait to the last few hours!). Well I made it and the piece was well recieved.
They will be judging all the entries this week and the lucky winners based on Creativity, Concept Execution and Construction - if my piece ranks high enough it will be chosen to be shown at the Galleria in Houston.
Now I need to have a RED BULL and relax! Pheeeeew.

It has been awhile since I last blogged. This is a photo of a painting now residing in Ennis, TX. Many have not seen it since it was sold shortly after it was created. But I got the pleasure of seeing it in it's new home, and it looks great Jerry!.
At least he is hung.
Here are the flowers that Mom & Dad sent me for Easter, along with a nice box of chocolates.
I created this image from the image of the flowers. Something spiritual eminates from it.
These are two images I created from a quick snapshot of a bluejay that was on the fence through that I observed through the windsheild of my auto.
This is a piece that I created from some previously created art. Pushing and returning to the art.
This is a snapshot of my friend in second life showing me the area (2nd Floor) where I will have my gallery of my art. The large picture you see if a snapshot of my avatar "Whim Walter" as the featured artist of the gallery yet to be named.
I realized that others not listed by skartz can not see the art that is posted there, so for the avid whimblog readers here are the pieces: 
WOW!
At the same moment that I see how this related to my art... it also related to me for my corporate job... and me as a person. For my corporate job - it was the wonder that I was part of this event, this moment in time, sharing thoughts and ideas digitally, over the internet, with 750,000 others - a collective consciencousness...the same that I had just shared with 12 individuals regarding our art and goals for our art.
Here in Dallas - getting readu for this evening's show - here are a few of the jackets from the collection. 
These are a few of the photos that I took day as I traveled to Toronto, Canada. I arrived at night the ground is covered in iced over snow. I am excited about the opportunity to take some photos of snow and the light that reflects off it.
The sun setting over the horizon of clouds.
You never know what your mind eye must think. This is a moment in time as I was in the airport.
I came across this picture when looking for something else. I wanted to talk today more about the Artist Breakthrough Program that I am participating in. I wanted to share that it is an interesting experience when you collaborate with another artist. I think becuase we are visual communicators we often can understand and feel for the other artist and put ourselves in their shoes - and with that offer up our own knowledge (take or leave it). I have been having fun with my partner, Susie Monday. I visited her blog, she is wanting to expand her creative coaching. In many ways she reminds me of my artist friend, Jim Frederick, who in his own way was constantly looking at ways to share his creative spirit with others. One way - was the art we collaborated on together for our annual shows - P.A.C.E. --- this was one of those times. I am hopeful that we can collaborate again - even if that means via the computer on projects becuase distance now keeps us from hanging out on each others couchs. So Jim --- put your thinking hat on how can we collaborate on some art?
