See this in a nut shell is what I hate about The Hot Springs Art Scene. What Bethannie Newsom Steelman is doing here is no different than a guy that brings a dozen of his friends from work to Karaoke Night so they can Cheer for him. If any of you tasteless sycophants had an honest bone in your body you would say that this looks like something that a child would do. I swear this woman would draw a stick figure and all of you Artistically Ignorant Fools would say it's Brilliant. For too long the trend has been if your friends with somebody then they are a good Artist and you you don't like them as a person then they are a bad Artists. Is that really the way Art is supposed to be perceived. You cheerleaders make me sick. I'm gonna go through up, you guys can go back to kissing eachothers asses now.

Bethannie Newsom Steelman You could say that...except...I only just met Joseph Scott Sheridan. I like him very much, but we've only spoken for a few minutes, so I can't say we are really friends yet. Also, I've never met any of the others who have commented here on this post.

Carmen Meslier Yea I don't know her or anybody who commented on this...I just love the picture and I do think she's very talented even though I do not know her. Seems to me like you're the ignorant one here.. Sorry..

I was referring to the likes. Ten of them are pages that Joseph Sheridan and friends Moderate and the rest are your friends. Yeah Bethannie aren't you glad that I referred you to him? You don't mind being in a Gallery with no Contracts and no Insurance as long as you don't haft to pay a wall fee like you did in every other Gallery that you have ever been in. You may lose your Art and not get a penny for it since possession is 9/10th's of the law but who cares. I mean it's not like he will stab you in the back the way he did me twice. I've known him almost half my life. You've known him for a few minutes. Please trust him with your Art Beth... I'm begging you. Remember when you told me what a Great Critic I am and how you all as Artists should be held accountable for the work you produce? Well I do. I think I'm gonna go ahead and repost on my website it to refresh your memory especially since it would go great with the new blogs that I am writing.

Daniel Damascus I will say this though... This is exactly the kind of Art that I want to see in Mentor Disciple now that I am no longer affiliated.

Robert O'Nale As usual, Daniel, you prove that you're nothing but an impotent artist who's jealous of the attention others get.

Yeah I'm just an impotent Artist that's jealous. You need to talk to some of my Girl Friends if you are seriously trying to convince yourself of that Nerd. JOSEPH SCOTT SHERIDAN CAME TO ME FOR MY HELP NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. He wanted me as a Gallery Artist, a Show Coordinator, a Consultant, a Recruiter, and THE CURATOR. It wasn't until Star Gallery and The Art Church started crying and begging to him to protect them from me that he lied and said that my only affiliation was as an Artists. He wanted me to use all my connections and do all the work behind the scenes so he can take all the credit publicly. The Anvil that broke the Camels back was when I asked about contracts and insurance... which they have neither of. He knew at that point that the jig was up so he went on the offensive again. I lashed back and hit much harder then their Executive Director Malvin Colon(You can contact him and ask if you don't believe me or better yet read my blog where he puts some of this in writing)called me begging me to make peace with them, bring my Artists back, continue making Art for them, and be Their Curator. For the record Robert I'm not jealous of the attention she's getting I'm disgusted with it. Just so you all know Bethannie wouldn't even be in this Gallery if it wasn't for me. Now that me and her are enemies, I am overjoyed that she is making Art for those hucksters without contracts or insurance. I don't know who is going to burn her worse. Joseph by ripping her off or me with criticism. My website has an International audience. I've said my peace. I will leave you pathetic losers to gossip about me now.

@Robert Hawkins I have the messages from Malvin Colon on my website and he's a pretty honest guy so just ask him yourself about what we talked about on the phone each time he called me. If you are too intellectually lazy to do either one then that's your problem, but I didn't lie about a single thing that I said here and if you would view my website you would see countless incidents where I bust The Queens at Mentor Disciple out on all of their lies and bullshit. You guys call me negative for being this sole voice of truth here? That's like calling your Doctor Negative for telling you that you have cancer. Here's an idea how about one of you sheep try breaking away from the herd for a few minutes to read my website for yourself before you go to forming opinions about it. http://arkansasartnews.blogspot.com/

@ Daniel Damascus How come every single art gallery in downtown has banned you? Maybe it is because you have threatened everyone of them? Is it why you are not even allowed on the federal land of the National Park, otherwise you will get arrested? If you are such a great artist why do no art galleries want anything to do with you or your art? There must be a reason? If you are such a talented artist and a critic of every gallery owner that in your eyes is doing everything wrong why don't you open your own gallery and leave everyone alone or get a real job. The problem is with you not the rest of the world, how you treat people and do people wrong reflects your environment

Armando everything you just said is a lie. You Queens lie so much I don't even know where to begin. I am not banned from any Galleries to my knowledge, if I am banned from your boyfriends "Gallery" then I will consider this my notice. Could you please tell me why I am not allowed "on the federal land of the National Park" because that is news to me and how many times do I haft to remind you that Joseph was the one coming to me for help not the other way around and if I am so pathetic then why was he asking for my help in the first place? You fartknockers are just mad because I took every Artist that you had with me when I left. I relish the thought that you could have been a big success with me but instead The Premiere was such a disaster that only the "Artist" showed up. You couldn't even get your own staff to attend. Where was Malvin Colon? Where was Gina Green? You couldn't even get the woman you bragged about being The Curator to show up. Now Mando stop lying about me before I report you to I.C.E.

You talked to the authorities and they said that I am "not even allowed on the federal land of the National Park"? Could you please tell me what authorities told you that? I didn't know that I was banned from Federal Property. I didn't even know that that was a punishment. Nobody answers my Calls? Everybody does and I have not had one Gallery come forward and say that I am banned. I can count every Gallery I have Beef with on one hand and all the other Galleries welcome me with open Arms not necessarily because they like me but rather because they have the good sense to be terrified of me and they realize the kind of influence I have over Artists. You got to experience that first hand when I got Alvaro, Cicco, Wilburn and about a dozen other Artists to bail on your Gallery as soon as I did. Sorry you guys had to learn the hard way that Artists stick together and Real Gallery Artists need these things called contracts and insurance before they send somebody their Art. You might want to look into that or better yet just stick with what you know and go get a job at Jesters or something.

That's right Tim Looper. Delete your comment "Tim Looper The reason you dont realize is because no one returns your calls , face it your done here and we are done with you . These are not lies as in we talked to the authorities about this . You are a waste of energy." like the lying, cowardly worm that you are. It's all good. I already have it posted on my website and if you think that you can convince The Owners of The Tin Grizzly to say no to the Artists that I am sending them on the basis that I am a mean person then you are seriously mistaken. Unlike you Queens at The Dominance Submission Gallery they don't put personal bullshit ahead of Business and that is why they will be here after all these wannabe Galleries are long gone because they actually run their Gallery like a Business.

Yeah I was just saying because 2 minutes after he took down his comment and blocked me he started writing The Tin Grizzly and commenting on My Artists post. Next thing you know he will pull a Rebecca Stone and plead with them to not be friends with me anymore because I am a bad person and I hurt peoples feelings. wahwaaaaaahhhhwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh. Grow up you f#@%ing crybabies and quit threatening to tell my two dads at The Tin Grizzly every time I bloody one of your noses in the school yard. They have a Business to run and can't be bothered with your tears or your drama. Thank you.

blah blah blah if you are so good why don't you open your own gallery and leave everyone alone or get a real job. The Tin Grizzly comment me when you call them they say they don't have time they run business they don't have time for you. I have business whit them and have tell me that.... now I ting and my personal opinion if you have this much time free keep you mind occupied on something positive and not on something negative but since you are a negative person I see that as almost impossible and I not a liar I challenge you to walk on federal land and see if you get arrested or not if you don't get arrested I"ll post on internet that I'm a liar but only if there are park rangers are near

As Joseph Sheridan of Mentor Disciple I can warn you responding to this Daniel Kimery man will just give him material for more lies. I have seen him once in person in seven years for two minutes when he told me we had to get everyone drunk and high to sell his art and talked to him once on the phone for two minutes, so when was he ever involved in Mentor Disciple, beyond being an over zealous submitter that got rejected for safety reasons? The Mentor Disciple opening had over 150 attendees, we had a seven hour opening so we were never full, but we got to spend time with our attendees and created many new great friendships without the intoxicants. We have sold art from the show, have always had contracts and are now open everyday as a working gallery and get visitors everyday that visit us for art and dialouge and not for a party. If you feel this man is slandering you or being homophobic please report his posts. We hope he finds help and happiness, but responding to him just feeds his obsession with hate. Hope the best for everyone!

Daniel Damascus Ok Armando so it is safe for me to quote you as saying that Park Rangers told you that I am banned from Federal Property? Thank you again for saying that. I'm going to call the Parks Department tomorrow to tell them that Armando Ortiz said that I am banned from Federal Property.

Joseph it was 20 minutes in person. First you say ten, then you say seven, when in reality It has been five years since I had seen you. The last time being when I drove a cab and you was working for Joe Gargano when you wasn't being a drunk derelict stumbling around making a fool out of himself. You used to ask for my cab by name #66. I never said anything about getting people high to sell Art. All I said was that alcohol improves your sales probability no matter what you are selling. Question: If I am such damaged goods then why did you come to me asking for help? and just to set the record straight I'm the one that walked away from your Gallery not the other way around. Joseph your finished. Your "gallery" is dead and buried in my Graveyard now. Deal with it.

P.S. If your show was such a success why didn't you take any pictures of it? All I see is pictures of an Empty Gallery and where was Gina Green? You know the woman with health problems in California that you said was going to be your Curator. You didn't even know what a Curator was until I asked you if I could Curate this event to which you replied yes only to denounce me publicly a month later saying it wasn't a Curated a vent, then you turn around and announce an elderly female amateur photographer who can't deal with stress due to health issues and lives over two thousand miles away. Make up your mind your wishy washy woman. I couldn't deal with your hormones or your mood swings so I gathered up the Artists and left. I win. You lose. Game over fart knocker.
