The question is how do I get financial help and avoid financial devastation. Last time someone came to help me and I gave my stuff away and I got out of the trouble that I was in but. But the solution was to put me in a  half-way  house (for people who  don't   have  enough money to go to jail) and that was the end of my reputation and my future. I want to avoid a question of two steps forward and one step back.   Also,  before the good Samaritans i.e. social welfare came in to help me move into a prison system. There was a cleansing of all my important stuff.  So,  there's absolutely no use for protesting or even discussion of the theft of the expensive things I collected. They were gone. The minute I got in trouble. They were gone. When I had to negotiate with which what was left. And as far as I'm  concerned,  the social workers felt they were really good  joes . What I was supposed to be grateful for and lucky for was...

  Do you think it’s good to use a poster form to show my work on my portfolio?  Should I also show my work on  blogs on my portfolio?     What do you think about using a Powerpoint presentation? Do you think it’s good to cross-reference on  posters?   Like to advertise several different places I have that show different collections of my work. On the same poster.    Portfolio project. I need to choose to select the items that I would first make available for purchase. I mean what kind of selection would I use. I don’t think I should put in all my most expensive ones. What about any of my most expensive ones. Maybe I should just put in the ones that would be pertinent for the amount of money I need to start. The problem is I don’t know which one is which.  And I’m afraid of everybody

I had to stop my association with my framer which was a major drag.  I said two things actually. One is that I feel that continuing to put money into professional framing is not only time consuming and hindering my ongoing fight with poverty. Two, I feel that there has been a backlash against the actual quality work of the framer.  There has always been some bad feeling for the gallery concerning the fact that it is on the floor I live on which is not necessarily of the same religious persuasion of the congregation that owns and runs it. It might be that the excellent work that has been done is a bone of contention to some significant players in the place. That was one thing For some reason, not too long after the conversation and final association with the said framer I was contacted by a good and qualified patron of the arts who was terminally ill.  She had painstakingly collected some very important magazines throughout her life and being enamored of them kept them...

I met a couple of art specialists and we were discussing the major problem with my art which is I have zero income. That includes my exhibition in the residence I live in. This exhibition has been very much instrumental in upgrading the clientele and the reputation of the house.  However, it has been years I have been working on it and there has been a lot of time and money spent on it with no income. time is passing and I am growing older.  I wondered why and the first thing I came up with is that I knew quite clearly that the work I was exhibiting was not of the kind that was commonly taken as "serious" in prestigious homes and exhibitions that I saw.  Since I had no money I knew that my place to get that kind of art would be in quality prints, more specifically old books found in thrift shops and the like. But a better opportunity would come up. For some reason, not too long after the conversation with the specialists, I was contacted by a good and qualified patron o...

Update: 9-9-12 According to my brother, the property is off Lac Ludger. Lac Ludger is connected to Lake Cardin. It is not off Grand Lac Long which is what I had thought the name of the lake was when I lived there. Grand Lac Long does exist but somewhere else in the Laurentian Mountain Range.  I think the property listed has a good possibility to be the place where I spent my time in the summer because it is in the vicinity of both the B'nai Brith Camp (which is still there according to the map) as well as Lac Brulé. I have been having a bit of difficulty finding out about the estate I am supposed to have inherited from my parents.  One document I got pretty fast was the coordinates of the country house I spent my summer and weekends in as a child and young adult. I have never had a clear idea of the address when I lived there but on the document, I got some coordinates of the place. I checked it out on Google maps. and I don't understand the results.  So I am going to ...

Skull shapes made of amaranth and honey for  Day of the Dead  in Mexico When I was a child I lived in two homes.  One was in Cote St. Luc and I remember the address perfectly.  That was the first thing they taught me in the little prenursery school I attended. When I was six years old my parents purchased a country house in the Laurentians.  I would go for the summer to that little house and in the winter the family would go every weekend so that we could rest and go skiing. First, we went to Belle Neiges ski hill and then La Reserve. Every Saturday night we would have steak.  This was a very big meal. Many times during the week we did not eat well but on Saturday we had a big meal.  As I recall the family would share a steak or two and we would have hotdogs and something else as well (I believe ribs). We always had a fresh salad.  First, the meals were made on an outside bbq with charcoal.  Then my father purchased a hibachi and fina...
