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.

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.

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 also use it as an "earthy" pallet for nature themed finger painting.

Here was the original CC thread:

https://conservativecave.com/cave/index.php/topic,114956

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).
