I think it's Hilarious that my entire adult life as an Artist everyone I ever met would always go on and on about how amazing my Art is until the last few weeks when I became an Art Critic. Now I've gone from the Wine and Cheese crowd praising my name to the BigMac and Fries crowd cursing it and telling me what a hack I am. It doesn't hurt my feelings because I know they are just friends of people that I have given poor reviews to. I know that I am not a great Artist, but I am a good Artist and anybody that gives me less than that is just making themselves look petty and dishonest. I'll be the first one to tell you that my experiences in Galleries have been a Nightmare. After being raped by Galleries that were out to make a quick buck about a half dozen times I finally realized that I could make a lot more money promoting the Art of other people rather than my own. I have been doing so for over a decade now. Oh and did I mention that I am the Whistle Blower that single handedly brought down Richard Gipes Empire that has defrauded over 10,000 Artists out of 10's of millions dollars and I personally helped 26 Artists get back $63,500.00? I get World Class Artists in High End Galleries and believe it or not these people aren't just going to trust their Art with just anybody. In order to get Artists and Galleries to trust you you haft to have Class, a great eye for Art, and an in depth understanding of Marketability. So you commoners want to know what my credentials are? My credentials are pretty much in your face. This kind of reminds me of what Howard Stern tells his haters "Keep Listening". In broadcasting very often it's the people that hate you the most that are your biggest fans so I love the Hate. Infact I'm basking in it. Hate is probably an even more valuable marketing tool than love is, because people will see something they love and forget all about it a moment later, but a hater will refer my website to everybody they know. Then the new audience they have brought me is left to make up their own mind. I know that I can be a better Critic than what I am but the good news is that I'm only 31 and I've only been doing this for a little under three weeks so just imagine me after three years. I may not be much of an Art Critic but I am The First Art Critic in The History of Hot Springs(I will always be remembered that way) and I will be the only Art Critic it has until somebody that thinks that they can do a better job than me comes along to try and take my place. So until such time ya'll are just going to haft to make do with me. Right now I am only a caterpillar nestling in it's cacoon but some day soon I am going to become a Beautiful Butterfly. I'd like to thank both the lovers and the haters now from the bottom of my Heart. Without your combined efforts none of this would have ever been possible.
