As a child of divorced parents, I was lucky enough to live in the city and the country at the same time. When I say lucky, I'm not being sarcastic, I think it made a mark on my personality. The two lifestyles for me were quite different and I enjoyed the contrast.
Later, going to college, I worked as a janitor and cleaned overnight in such places as a K Mart and a movie theatre. These experiences made an impression on me too as I noticed what a unique perspective I was getting to be in such places at 4am while America slept. Riding bicycles down highly polished aisles and napping in lawn chairs near the juniors department.
ArtistFishbowl has so far resided in ...
A giant vacant former bank lobby,
a glass building that I built on a river bank,
an old stinky hotel room,
a glass box in a busy coffee shop,
an art boutique display window,
a warehouse artshow,
an internet cafe/bar.
On my wishlist are:
A science museum in Chicago,
an old former hospital, now an art center in a Nevada ghost town,
a video store in San Fransisco,
a vehicle of some kind, mobile, (city bus, Greyhound, Amtrak),
a stationary vehicle in the middle of the desert,
The Great Salt Flats,
Seattle's Sky Needle or maybe the Stratosphere in Vegas,
many galleries and stores, but I'm really really really dyin' to live in a bookstore.
I'm interested in being adaptable, I don't care that much where I am, I just want to draw (and blog).
