Title: Deleting DUmmie can't make a go of selling his "art", not even to the DUmmies

I guess it's time to go out and maybe get that terrible three-letter word all DUmmies hate:  JOBS.

In 15 days, my art blog shall die.


I gave it a shot!

My art blog was a passion project that was part art therapy for myself and part experimentation with whether or not my work could be considered worthwhile to others.

But, it has languished. I never received any mail from it. The traffic only spiked whenever I posted it up on here or elsewhere. There's no following. I couldn't foster one.

So I guess this is it. I'm probably going to let it die. I'll find another way to express myself.

If anyone is interested in looking at it, you've got 15 days before it goes offline.

Thanks also to all those who supported the idea in the beginning! It means a lot that anyone cared!

1. I'm sorry... Even though I'm horribly ignorant at deconstructing fine art

I would have paid more attention just to help out a fellow DUer... We gotta look out for one another.

Have you thought about taking it to twitter or instagram? And connecting with other art critics there?

Sorry bro, I can't spare a dime.

3. I guess I'm not the social media type.

I asked others to share it on their feeds. Plenty said "sure thing!" And never did haha.

I did try emailing artists I admired as well. But maybe they were afraid of damaging their brand. I dunno!

So you're lazy, you have no drive, and your work sucks.  Can't imagine why anybody wouldn't want to sign on and do the legwork for you!

2. I like what you do. I wish I could DO art but I can't so I write about great art...

I posted my art essays every other Friday from 2014 to 2016. Here is one I did on Twombly https://www.democraticunderground.com/10026424972

Currently, I'm in a project to publish them in a book. I came late to being an art historian but I simply loved doing them. My dedicated goal was to have art become as loved by my readers as it was to me. A real value in my life.

Paging franksolich.... another DUmmie who intends to write a book...

4. Instagram in the place for artists like you nowadays. I started posting my paintings there

8 months ago after my spouse encouraged me to do so and now I have 225 followers who came out of nowhere to "like" my stuff.
www.instagram.com/studioksee
I'm not tearing up the world but some notable art critics and famous celebrities have all liked and/or commented on my work.
It is all very encouraging.
Put all your stuff up there with hashtags and the people will come to you.

And how much money have you made from it? 



That's what I thought.

Meanwhile, the personal DUmmy hate mail has been piling up again.  Not sure about those that CC received.  On my to do list for the weekend.

Yes!!  Please do share. 

We have a dual audience here at the cave.  Reading the hate mail helps us to simultaneously appeal to the cavers, and piss of the DUmmies at the same time.

You could always move to Utah and get a free therapy cat.  Free furniture, delivered of course and a fridge full of meat is also available for the asking.

Have you tried punching a growler in your pants? :shrug:
I hear the DUmplings find that very artistic.   :pokingpoop: :pokingpoop:
You could also use it as an "earthy" pallet for nature themed finger painting.
Renditions of Turdles and Turdkeys would win awards.  :thumbs:
Go for it, dude.

Not to be a liberal dickhead type person, but isn't JOBS a 4 letter word?

Joe Biden said it was a three letter word.  That's good enough for me.   :naughty:

WTH?
I wasn't depressed until I went and looked at those blurry pictures and rambling text... that I'm guessing was supposed to be poetry?
I don't get it. What am I supposed to do now, feel sorry for this wacko or something?

Here was the original CC thread:

Near as I can tell, it's a precursor for establishing a begathon on the near future.  As I stated on CU, he's mentioned very recently that a huge weight has been lifted off his shoulders, as he expects Mrs. Deleting DUmmie to start working soon.  We all know what that means:  all-nighters playing games he purchased  on Steam using her blood and sweat, and living the life of a "feminist"  (NO job).

Since we were away for a few days, didn't forget.  Shall post them tomorrow.  Saved on my laptop.

Hmmm...seems to be a theme for some DUmmies.
