[Chuck Dodson]

[You]
lol
I'm not sure if I trust either one of you lol
[Chuck Dodson]
you shouldnt
dont ever trust anyone
[You]
She told me that ya'll didn't talk about me and I know that's a lie
thank you for saying that
[Chuck Dodson]
i dont believe ive ever talked to her about you
[You]
Well she brought your name up and wrote me a book it led me to believe that there was a powwow about me behind the scenes
if not you than with other people
I think the people who's lives I am destroying are begging her to reason with me
if they want me to stop then they should beg me directly
[Chuck Dodson]
i think the last time i talked to her was at brau haus a few months ago and she pissed me off and i went off on her.
[You]
no
[Chuck Dodson]
she never liked my gallery
[You]
how did she piss you off
OMG
[Chuck Dodson]
she told me i should stop dating young grls
[You]
that is just like her always admonishing people
I had to snap at her for patronizing me
[Chuck Dodson]
her ex and i play tennis
steve
you know him?
[You]
she prefaced what she said by saying that she would never want to be an Art Critic then she proceeded to tell me how to be an Art Critic
yes I do
I love his Photography
[Chuck Dodson]
steve's ok
[You]
Steve Lawnick
[Chuck Dodson]
yep
do you like his photos?
[You]
Enjoyed your blog. Dishongh & I live on the 2nd floor above the Blue Moon Gallery.
Daniel Kimery June 4 at 11:27pm
Thank you. I will haft to pay you guys a visit the next time that I am in town.
Steve Lawnick June 5 at 7:56pm Report
Indeed...I would enjoy that very much. I fancy myself a photographer; perhaps you could check it out on my page, and pass judgement...
I like him because he was intelligent enough to approach me with praise and caution
[Chuck Dodson]
he's a good photographer
but it seems hos best work was done when he was living in nyc
maybe living in arkansas has sapped hs powers
[You]
send me the letter Chuck the curiousity is driving me insane
what do you think about that lying cunt Rebecca Stone
[Chuck Dodson]
about 300 people are messagng me and so i can't work on it now
[You]
This is what I said in response to her lies
[Chuck Dodson]
all these lonely middleaged women
[You]
Yeah Rebecca "Xu Lung Hua" doesn't even know who I am. That's why he gave me A's in my Sculpting 1&2 classes and he ask my mom about me every time that he sees her which is usually about twice a month. Please keep lying about me Rebecca. I beg you. You are only hurting yourself and I am going to love helping your Scam Gallery of Hacks die. Infact I just posted a new blog just for you and Bethannie Newsom Steelman at
[Chuck Dodson]
i saw that
dude. i read your shit.
[You]
wow
I'm honored
[Chuck Dodson]
we all do. you're our cable.
don't stop now. we're on you like crack.
[You]
I know aren't I amazing
[Chuck Dodson]

[You]
Oh God I'm getting High off of this
So does everybody hate me?
or just the hacks and hucksters which make up 90% of this town
I can't believe you never want to talk to me. I'm a much better Orator than I am a writer
[Chuck Dodson]
i think you are becoming the shadow of the amateur artists here...they can't actually hate you because they know they are seeing themselves in your mirror...it's a horrifyng thing
[You]
hahahahahah
did you tell paul cooper that
[Chuck Dodson]
no
[You]
what did you say when you spat and pissed on him
[Chuck Dodson]
i think maybe he was kidding. but dunno.
i didnt really spit on paul.
or piss
what did dishonghnhgh say about me?
[You]
Reality sucks for hacks that were convinced they were Artist by the Scam Galleries huh
ok ill tell you hang on let me go look
[You]
You are are like Earnest Hemingway to me
brb
[Chuck Dodson]
because i drink so much?
[You]
1. a healthy art community needs all levels of artists & galleries in the mix and yes I do mean what you refer to as 'hack' galleries... and I do NOT confuse the words hack and scam. Chuck D and I have talked about this many a time, he knows I'm a supporter of the 'independent' artists in town and always have been. (I could yack about this all day)
No because you are a Genius and i don't use that word lightly
[Chuck Dodson]
um...and what exactly has she done to "support" them?
thanks for the amazing compliment
[You]
I listed your Gallery as a commercial Gallery btw
[Chuck Dodson]
she used to come in my place and try to lecture the artists
[You]
Thanks for mentoring me
[Chuck Dodson]
always gave bad advice
[You]
You know you're nursing a Viper right?lol
[Chuck Dodson]
yeh, i picked up on that
[You]
Everyone acts like I'm such a bad person for saying that some Art is better than other Art
I think that is just their insecurity talking
[Chuck Dodson]
well, you are sometimes a wee tad bit abrasive.
[You]
No actually I'm quite a bit abrasive
I mean to be
[Chuck Dodson]
most critics refrain from calling their subjects "idiot" and "loser"
[You]
The gloves are off and this is a fight to they death
and I'm a lot bigger and badder than they are
well I'm just being honest
[Chuck Dodson]
it's a free country.
[You]
Keep in mind I've only been doing this for 2 1/2 weeks
I'll get better with time
I'm only 31
Imagine me at 50
[Chuck Dodson]
the old couple named kimery...i thnk his name was frank?...who lived on kimery lane...were they your relatives?
[You]
yes he's my great uncle
[Chuck Dodson]
cool. i always liked them.
didn't know them well.
[You]
My Uncle is Doug Harp
[Chuck Dodson]
who's that?
[You]
So how big is my name in town right now
Owner of Harp Security and former Head of The Arkansas State Police
[Chuck Dodson]
ok.
[You]
youngest in us history
[Chuck Dodson]
how big?
[You]
age 32 when he became head
yes am I all anybody can talk about or what
[Chuck Dodson]
i was told earlier today that i'm a narcissist because my facebook bio is so long
[You]
I get called that a lot too
maybe that's why we get along
[Chuck Dodson]
maybe so
[You]
We are not Narcissist
we are just selfaware
We don't think we are better than other people we know we are
[Chuck Dodson]
do you have a day job?
[You]
Yes
I am an International Art Boker
[Chuck Dodson]
are you gonna be the new richard gipe?
[You]
no
I am the antithesis of Richard Gipe
I am like Jesus and he is like Satan
[Chuck Dodson]
so then....you're the same!!
omg
[You]
no
[Chuck Dodson]
daniel kimery IS rchard gipe
[You]
I don't Charge Artist
[Chuck Dodson]
i have to alert everyone!
what a brilliant scheme
[You]
I use my power as a critic to get my Artists in good Galleries
[Chuck Dodson]
gipe is reinventng himself
[You]
Don't ever compare me to that Scum Bag
[Chuck Dodson]
so if youre doing all this to make money then i may not send you all this info after all
[You]
no
I'm not just doing this to make money
I'm doing this to help Artists too
I just got Tim Payne in the Tin Grizzly
for free
[Chuck Dodson]
ok
[You]
I never ask for money from Artists unless something sells.
[Chuck Dodson]
so then youre kinda like me
[You]
well not since I stopped working at Art Exchange anyways
I'm just like you
[Chuck Dodson]
exactly
[You]
You should reopen the Gallery and have me be a Curator for you
all I ask is for 10% of what I sell
You can't beat that
If I don't sell Art I don't make money
[Chuck Dodson]
just wait and read all ths sht im sending
[You]

This is the letter he sent. Apparently he thinks Dishongh Scavo has been spreading rumors about his Gallery.

i never charged any artist to show at 404-B. it was always totally free to the artist. i paid for everything, including promotions, wine and food, cups and napkins and trash bags, etc. of course it was in my home so i also paid the rent and utilities and for the light bulbs and toilet paper and furniture and extension cords and computers and jamboxes and paint and soap and etc. plus i almost always did all the cleaning up when it was over. plus i usually either helped hang the show or did it all myself (and many times because the artist would be late bringing the work, like dropping it here the day before and many times even the day of the show, and then they wouldn't be able to get off work to hang it themselves or whatever so i had to do it if we were gonna have a show). when i was opening in january of 2006 i asked several artists what kind of deals the other galleries were making. according to everybody i talked to, most galleries around here were taking a 40% commission. some were getting a little more, like 50%, and even one was said to have been taking 60%. so i and the artists i was working with agreed on me taking a 40% cut and i stayed with that until i closed last year.
