So I went to my favorite coffee shop today, on my way to run errands and I bumped into a woman by the name of Mrs. Donna, who claimed to work for the local paper. My ears perked up and all I managed to get was her first name, and thought, I would come home later and look her up. To see if she has written about the Confederate Flag and Statue issue, or what is it that she writes. Unfortunately, nothing came up. Not a single blog, or advertisement with her face and name...except a Realtor by the name of Donna Rezen. (She is a looker though. The woman I met, had shorter hair, Same smile though.)

I was really disappointed at the idea that I could not email her my blog on my thoughts on the Flag issue, or to hear from her personally how she feels about it, considering how much water is under that bridge surrounding the Civil War, and what we all have come to terms with or consensus on what the bottom-line surrounding the war was, and what we all desire our futures to be, in this small hamlet of the greater United States.

Well, not one to be turned off by misinformation: I sent the email, anyway!

 I was looking through your staff listings and I could not find a woman by the name of Donna. I met her a few days ago and she claimed to work for your paper. I was really interested in giving her a blog to review and considering publishing for your paper a similar article, in light of the recent developments surrounding the Confederate Statue in the middle of Pittsboro NC and the increasing numbers of Confederate flags being raised on flag posts at Full-Mast as if someone is supposed to be giving honor to supporters of such a hateful organization. 

 It is 2019 and considering the water-shortages plaguing the North, the identity crisis's of the West, and we all know Florida is going to fall into the ocean one day due to all of the drugs that pour into their ports, you would believe the East Coast of America would learn to avoid the disasters, be they man-made or natural, that mar beautiful landscapes. We have not it seems. For we still argue over what is clearly self-evident and make excuses for the Rebel Red, while at the same time pleading allegiance to the Red White and Blue of the Union for which it stands. 

 I am much to young to take on the task of holding the line in the midst of civil war, or to know the heart ache that comes with having to make such hard choices. I do know if I was born during that century and had to do it all over again, I would for the sake of all that is good and pure, uphold the honor due to the liberation secured and sacrifices made wave that Star Spangled Beauty that the Chinese are willing to wave in the name of their own political insecurities.  https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/adventvoice/independence-day

 NOW that you know a little about me, I can take the time to get back to what I was writing to you about. Mrs. Donna. She says she works for your paper and I am sure it is true, but at the moment the only Donna I have found in Pittsboro NC that might have the where-with-all to not only work for you and sell homes, is Donna Rezen https://donnarezen.hpw.com/ 

 I hate to assume things and that is why I am writing to ask, if this is the same woman that not only works for you but works well at showcasing the beautiful landscapes Chatham County has to offer? 

 If this is the same woman, could you do me the favor of sending her this blog and having her read it. I would have emailed it to her directly but she does not have a section on your Staff listings and I am not sure that Casey Mann or Randall Rigsbee, though they are the editors listed, would be interested to know what some stalwarts think about all this business of waving that joke of a flag in such a peace-filled part of these greater United States. 

 https://avproductionsblog.wordpress.com/2019/10/04/no-love-for-the-triple-ks/ I am certain that Mrs. Donna on the other hand, would not mind reading what others are willing to discuss out in the open, in the midst of our ever growing digital world. 

 https://ecp.yusercontent.com/mail?url=https%3A%2F%2Fart.ngfiles.com%2Fimages%2F1042000%2F1042594_adventvoice_no-love-for-the-triple-k-s.jpg%3Ff1570233347&t=1574196647&ymreqid=b7096aa2-b493-8da4-2f8e-c40019010000&sig=VlkM.yrta.hXpbTHbROq.Q--~C So if you would be so kind as to inform her that I was looking for her and to email me as soon as is convenient for her. I would certainly appreciate the outreach and to give her a scoop on what the silent majority think about all this talk surrounding the Confederate Flags and Statue. 

Happy Thanksgiving, 

         From your Advent Voice! 

Please keep your fingers crossed in hopes of a positive response.

It has been a bad few weeks, for me recently and it should not have been. There are no real challenges in my social life. My struggles have been with finding time to write. Several pages of my journals remain empty or are held open for completing, "Bad Guy." https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/adventvoice/dw-nadia-cover-page-bad-guy https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/adventvoice/bad-guy-page-1-male-toxicity-free-forests https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/adventvoice/bad-guy-page-2-i-d-like-to-introduce-nadia-richardson https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/adventvoice/out-of-the-woods-bad-guy-page-3 https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/adventvoice/nadia-the-sweet-devoted-wife-bad-guy-page-4 https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/adventvoice/you-wanna-sneak-me-bad-guy-page-5 https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/adventvoice/bad-guy-page-6-the-dream-weaver-sneaks-nadia

A story I desire to finish and that means ignoring everything in life until I finish it. That means no art requests/commissions, spending money on anything. Hearing from those in my church or immediate circles about how insulated and isolated I have become. It happens every time I am about to embark on a new project that is as time consuming as, "Bad Guy."

I should be used to it by now, but it still irks me to find people completely disinterested in my first love.

I am not so much amazed, as I am fascinated, to find that in my online world, there is an extensive digital art competition, among us hackers, anarchists, deviants, delinquents and slackers. There is a whole world of art that is sold, auctioned, haggled over and paid for among us, whom from the outside looking in would be considered as sexually frustrated and friendless as our isolation and devotion to our work would imply. We are talented thinkers, organizers, and dreamers, and none of this translates in the real world. We know how to make money and spend it. All from the comforts of our home and can have an idea that is bigger than Saturday Morning Cartoons in a matter minutes, that will set off a trend on twitter for two or more years. Monetized or not, the gravity behind our individualized relevance is unmatched by our predecessors.

Still the Economists, the Washington Post, or any other main stream publication, or the local and independent papers, refuse to write anything pleasant about our creativity. The Tumblr fiasco proved that. The notion that when I go to a real life gallery, four to five years later, no one has presented a digital master piece that an art collector will pay $1,800 USD as he would for a traditional piece of art of a landscape.

My mind has yet to conceptualize the idea that I am still ahead of my time and the world is not ready to dive into the art that fills my dreams.  

~Art is my livelihood~

William Styron was a favorite writer of mine for a long while. An American with a fine pen and deep feeling put in his prose. As I read his fictional pieces, it was his work that allowed me to see that despite the effort, many seek to hold onto their anonymity, creative writers hardly avoid putting a lot of themselves, their beliefs, life’s motivations and dreams, into the work.

He would create a character, give them a name, and as they spoke, if you read-or listen carefully, you’d see the authors face and glean their dark secrets...William Styron, though a talented writer, suffered from depression towards the end of his career and most of his stories hint to him being that kind of person. He should have had friends that would have talked him out of it. He, as I, hungered for his works to be revered and make him a house hold name, short of this achievement he said as much in “Sophie’s Choice,” that their was not much for a writer to hope for after the grip of the Great Depression. I am sure most of his family muscled through those dark days, but Styron was always haunted by the memory of poverty and did not take kindly to having to ever repeat such a squalid life style. As his fictional characters ended their lives, through some depressive state of mind, so did he.

I did not come this realization until much later after having learned a little about him.

I survived our countries modern Great Depression, but did not have the books of the past to guide me through. I did not equate my present darkness of 2008, that constantly hides as a shade in the corner of the room, a reminder of what happens when money is of no consequence; with that of the dark days of the 1920’s.

I was of the generation of the Simpsons, Ghibli Studios, and President Clinton’s wonderful economic boom. The internet was supposed to be the godsend of the world and make conventional forms of processing wealth as irrelevant as Medieval history lessons in high-school. With the introduction to e-commerce, who needs to clock into a workspace or office, when they can barter and trade goods from home? I am sure horror movies have been made from this theme already, so stop me if you’ve heard this one before. I chose art as my livelihood because it is the one thing I dream about every night.

An empty canvas is my mind and the ink begins to bleed on the panel and an image forms. I hold it in my mind for a few hours and when I wake, I can’t sit still, until I’ve recreated what I dreamed.

That is why I created the Dream Weaver. He is a model of what and who I am, to illustrate and reenact the steps of my dreams. To, as William Styron, and any other creative writer, express whatever is relevant to me at the moment, painting the images that come to mind and move the story along, while retaining my own anonymity. Through this art form I can uphold my livelihood and detract any negative press to my fictional characters. This of course has been the safety of past art producers and true to my devotion to the guild, I hold to this tradition.

In the production of a good or commodity, there is an expectation in the eventuality of selling it. This process has become so automatic for the success of a society that is expected and mechanical. The real art, is seen when one can take what is universally understood and make it attractive to the consumer. Prime example. I was visiting with a sex-worker, who’s bottomline and sense of fun is only accessed when I give money. She would not even show her face past the veil unless I gave her a dollar. There was no talk about the weather. She did not want to know anything about me and did not want me to know anything about her. She was stalwart in the exchanging of funds before proceeding. Which to her credit is perfectly fine, if she could find a guy that could keep it up, after being treated so poorly. It is her want. Beyond the securing of money and aiding in her livelihood I was nothing more than an obstacle to overcome by selling the most product to those willing to buy in. If I did not, others would. This same directness of customer service can be applied to things outside of sex-work but I like the idea of what we produce when we take what can be a pleasurable experience and sour it with the mechanics of placing a dollar amount on a human experience.

Writing for William Styron was no longer a pleasure when he was not paid enough so he stunted himself. Sex was no longer enjoyable for the prostitute if she was not given enough money to buy a car and she no longer communicated with her clients unless, given a reason to smile. The product they sold is their livelihood and because they breathe life into their work and infuse a piece of themselves into every ounce of what they do, they feel they deserve payment for it. Which they do, mind you. This is why we buy books, buy sex, or buy art, because of the human communication infused into it and the desire to escape whatever doldrums happen to be at present plaguing our minds.

The trading of money for a good or service is to bring pleasure and unless I work day and night on my craft, I will lose out on my livelihood. If I was to react as the prostitute and not cater to the cares of my clients or fans, I’d damage my livelihood and the guild.

At least Styron is no longer here to face the consequences of his negative attitude toward people. As an artist I face the attitudes of people and relish in the interaction. For every moment can be turned into a work of art. Makes a good story and can guide my pen to reveal a little more about myself.

“Why is art a keen source of income for me?”

I went to University to become a lawyer.

:Making any entry level position over my pay grade and a liability for an employer to hire me. Not desiring to get into a squabble with Human Resources for having hired someone and paying them beneath their worth, employers unless convinced otherwise, won’t hire. I’ve applied to enough jobs to know that line of reasoning by heart. Never mind I never graduated. My record shows some level of higher education and in order to avoid the probability of a lawsuit, they kindly say, “ We don’t have a place for you.”

Another neat trick that recently has put a hamper on my ability to secure funds in our technological world. Is this insistence of Pay-Pal, or any other form of direct banking service, not to recognize my bank account. A real headache. It is rather unexplainable but the bank does not understand it and neither does Pay-pal. But even if my art sold and money flooded my pay-pal account, my bank would not honor the promissory note of sale and I’d have to for fete the money. I’ve been stalling further advertisement of my work, until I can secure a proper pay-pal account. I can send money though. Isn’t that odd? One more mystery to add to my laundry list of mysteries. The world will move further and further away from cash and I will be on the outside looking in, traveling miles out of my way to send a money order or check to a business for proof of sale. Because I am unaware of what hinders my ability to secure funds and transfer it to my bank, I have yet to devise a subsidiary company that can aid others in similar straits against pay-pal. Because I am the only one that cares about the clash between digital currency and traditional currency, I can not develop a staff that can aid me in this raising of awareness and bolstering of my livelihood.

I don’t expect anyone to care about earning a bill of sale for what I produce, as much as I do. The days of publishers and sponsors for creative material is over with. I was talking to a friend a few days ago about this very thing. We compared what attracts people to today’s music, entertainment in general, they all follow the same formula. Musicians have managers and booking agents. Artists have gallery owners. Writers have publishers. Anyway, my friends son is a singer who for years has wanted a record deal and for years has been denied. Short of sponsoring himself, he will forever be just dreaming of the day he can hold an album in his hand of his songs the world will sing along with him. Which others of lesser talent are honored and given a contract for hours of material, you’ll never remember. He works a regular 9-5 but in his spare time plays with his hobby. It is not his livelihood because the money he’d put into it does not equal in the value he’d receive for it.

No one gets into this business to break even. They get into it to make millions.

They get into it because it is their livelihood.  

I am sure I have discussed this many times in the past and have been sure to explain to my readers why art is so important.

"Armageddon," https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/adventvoice/armageddon was a way to illustrate what the world would feel like to me if there was no avenue to present some of the interesting things I keep locked away in my mind.

Now, I broach the subject because I am still unsure of how to verbalize to my family, how there will always be a market for the illustrator and creative writer, coupled together, there will always be a desire in my heart to sell and make comics.

I hear the ghost stories of censored regimes making footholds in other countries and I remain thankful I live in a country that allows me the freedom to write and draw what I want public. But how do I explain to my mother, who for fifteen years and counting has not had a steady stream of income and has always demanded that I find the funds to keep her fed, that things are tough right now for the artist? How do I explain that outside of art, comics, writing and the hope of procuring money to stay afloat at the next financial downturn, where there is no avenue of employment for a dreamer like myself?

I have yet to really explain my anger against federal regulations held against me, that prevents access to a normal 9-5 at a retail outlet mall, corporate setting, government work of any kind, a bank, a doctors office, minimal labor, entry level positions, the global market, period.

I do aim to do so.

For the sake of the thousands in the same position, who like me, would love to care for their families with something more than empty promises and excuses about not being able to manipulate enough hearts to buy into a crowd-funding scheme. (Interesting how the crowd-funding plan is little different from the pyramid schemes of the 70's-90's. Both occurred, after a financial screw-up.)

Illustrating/writing is the most honest form of work a man like myself can hope to have in the midst of so much National insecurities. It is my therapy.

You know my financial handicap has nothing to do with being an ex-con, black, or not knowing who my father was or is. Even if any of that occurred in my life, I would never have had allowed that to stop me from achieving the dream.

I've worked some of the worst jobs with a smile and all of my employers knew I'd been to other darker places before hiring me. There are many that have been to prison, have tattoos, are considered the scum of society and have access to work. My mother has no record and fled America to live in South America because of the GFC of 2008 hit so hard. There was nothing to go around. I can't work and for the next 30 years have no hope for an occupation of worth because of the black mark that has marred many a man and nearly captured a very affluent President.

I can't even discuss that moment in time with you all with any candidness, lest I lose the opportunity to produce more writings, more art and speak to you all in general.

So you can see, Art is my therapy.

Of course I wish I've not had a marred past. Then I could publish works without fear and produce lewd material with an endless ease of a man with nothing to lose. Then again, we all have something to lose or can erupt the ire of someone and fall pray to slander, liable, or falsehoods. I just happened to have the experience sooner than most.

Art is my therapy.

No Nut November Awards!!

Stop the presses! Hold Everything!

I won’t be doing anything until I tell you this story of a Russian princess by the name of Valerie.

It is true, I have a thing for Russian breasts. 80H is such an impossible number to imagine for the American that sees more boobs from California and New York. I don’t get to travel much anymore and living in the backwoods of North Carolina, well, you get lonely. I decided to participate on an online platform for strippers, wanting to expand my NSFW material outreach: https://superchat.live/user/Scope2Mars that is where I met her. https://superchat.live/model/Valeri_wow_Boobs

In real life men know not to pay all of their money on one woman. No matter how she begs. So when I first began the site I chose to practice a bit with https://superchat.live/BrookeRides she clearly was not into my philosophy and was sure that no woman would tolerate my behavior. The site gives you 2 minutes to view the women of your choice and it is clear that 2 minutes is not enough time for anything. So when BrookeRides could not convince me to pay for more one on one sessions she got mad and proceeded to call me cheap and a whore. Then the challenge was typed across my screen, she said, “You’ll never find a woman on this site that will cum for you in 2 minutes, go be cheap somewhere else.”

Oh was she wrong!

I met Valerie and learning from my previous mistakes I left the small talk for later and asked if she wanted to see my dick. That was the first thing I typed to her. I set up the Cam2Cam meeting and before she could argue, let her see my cock. She was not impressed at first. I could see it on her face. She wanted to laugh and looked bored. Then I started squeezing, pulling and shaking my dick on front of the camera. Her eyes got big and she pulled out her dildo and started making herself cum. We did not say a word, for the first 30 seconds, we just looked at each other and busted as quick as we could.

She was amazing and I told her so. She did not know English well, but it seems the universal language of sexual arousal is as simple as abc. We chatted privately and she complimented me on my dick size. Yes, that matters boys. It surprised her and she was happy she could arouse me. Made me the king of her room and befriended me.

Now I can guess what you are thinking. Those sites are fake or at best, it is nothing like real life and you have to pay for something you can do for free, on Pornhub.com, when no one is looking. That is the thing though. She is looking, she enjoys looking and nutted in 2 minutes when another person, working the same gig, wanted me to pay every five seconds to do what we did in 2 minutes.

I am so in love with this big breasted sexy beast and impressed with her professionalism. She was professional without making it some mechanical or complicated exercise of getting to know me by my wallet size. Honestly I am not that lonely where I have to spend $500.00 on a woman to feel validated as a man. I could ignore the temptations of the flesh and mind my own business, letting others enjoy cam-girls and spend all of that money. I need cash myself! But she is gorgeous! Makes me want to move to Russia. Take a flight, sink deep into her vagina and fall asleep inside of her asshole and marry that gorgeous creature. For now I will settle with art. I am a dreamer remember and this is where being an artist is the best occupation in the world. When hot ass smut happens, be it online, real or imagined, I can bring it to life on the page and talk to you all about it. I wish you where there when her eyes rolled in the back of her head as she sucked on her big fat nipples. Those pretty little things turn me on so much. I dream about my hands holding her breasts and each nipple in my mouth and I get as hard as a rock. Having a big dick and a nice face helps a lot. She could said, “You ugly,” “Your dick is too small, go play some where else.” Instead she pulled out a black dildo as big as my dick and slid it in and out of her pussy. I was so distracted I forgot to Monosnap her while she was doing it, to draw for later. Instead all you get are her gorgeous tits.  

While I was working on my little Anarchist Tribute https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/adventvoice/legend

I got to thinking about this idea of passivity, peace, love, and turning the other cheek, being the only monikers of Christianity people are willing to accept and the notion that to be an Anarchist is to be pooled into the same cesspool of evil doers as those of Anti-Christs and false teachers. Which I don't believe to be true at all. I am Christian, and I love Anarchists. I feel I am one deep down and hold no love for those that would seek to disarm me in the name of holding me to a false standard of piety.

Are Anarchist, Anti-Christ, or Christian?

From a superficial glance at the context and thoughts of an anarchist, one would presume that they are against the teachings of Christ and aligned with the false-teachers of the bible or to be categorized as false prophets. I really have to protest against such thoughts and hope in writing this little aside from my other projects you will come to see as I have that anarchist are not he ghouls and goblins we have been taught to believe they are.

:a person who rebels against any authority, established order, or ruling power

:a person who believes in, advocates, or promotes anarchism or anarchy especially : one who uses violent means to overthrow the established order

This is what the Merriam-Webster gives us as a definition of an anarchist and by this definition we would infer that any ruling system is subject to the scrutiny of an anarchist and this would make them anti-Christ. We have been taught this line of thinking would make it, so they would not bow the knee to anyone save for themselves.

This is true, the anarchist is self-serving, but that is to be human. There would be a lot of contention if an anarchist is made to subject themselves to a ruling party. They would no longer be considered an anarchist but an ally. Yet Jesus never said worship him. He said follow. He never said he came to establish an order, rules or guidelines that create a ruling system.

People have interpreted, if rather falsely, his words and created several orders or sects of religion based on his teachings and that is why we have so many denominations, because no one could settle on one particular order to control a people group and there was the anarchist, set about on liberation. The very same liberation Jesus spoke of.

Anyway all of these semantics aside, because Jesus said, “Follow,” I am assured that to be an anarchist one is not an anti-Christ. The anarchist in search of truth, relevant to their particular time frame, if he is benevolent, automatically is a follower of Christ, who was the very first anarchist. “Render Unto Caesar, what is Caesar’s, Render Unto God, what is God’s.” (God being in him and he considering himself a god, we can interpret that last phrase to mean, render unto me, what is mine.) That is very much inline with the teachings of the anarchist, who never seeks aid of the government and merely desires what is apt to them by their merit or what is internally due to them.

To be Anti-Christ, one must be against everything he taught. Evil, a slave to violence and dedicated to an order or system of government that renders all involved slaves to the law, the law of man, the law of Jews that no man, not even the Jew could keep, and the law of the beast. That great Mark of the Beast System, spoken of in Revelations. Jesus, I can assure you is against it, and desires all of us to follow his teachings to have the wear-with-all to withstand the onslaught of one’s liberties that will be present at that time. There has been a lot of foreshadowing over the years of such events and when one begins to feel the pull of prophesy that suggests, “one can neither buy nor sell, save they have the Mark of the Beast, on their right hand or forehead,” that only those sealed with the righteous of GOD on their forehead will be able to withstand the pull of the Anti-Christ, one begins to see just how radical being a Christian really is.

Jesus told us to pick up our crosses and to follow him, not to sit idly and worship at his cross, or lean on the holiness of his mother to save our souls and fall into heavenly bliss on his coat tales. Those that wrote the book of Acts and all the teachings that came after Jesus died and merely passed on his adventitious spirit on to his followers, each had there own burden to bare in the development and promotion of a thought that freed the human from tyrannical systems of government. It is the teachings of Christ alone that took down man’s dependency on Rome and ultimately the entire empire. It was replaced by many other forms of government but all of them had the shade of the ultimate government that have always fought against the will of an anarchical-christian leader, who considered it not evil to be count himself equal to GOD.

The anti-christ, nihilistic, satanic-thinker, believes power is to be used to control.

The anarchist believes power is to be used to ensure the control and power of this world, remains with the individual, not a Monarch.

Jesus and Christian believe power is bestowed upon man by an ultimately good source, our father in heaven, who seeks not to control anyone, gave us free-will and enjoys to watch how we use it in order to better the lives of our brother and sisters. Jesus never called himself or any man King. Those that did not understand life beyond a servant, and master, order, did that and he was not going to argue with how they saw the world.

He was going to wait until he came back with a sword a vengeance, righteousness, and strength, dividing evil from good, and establishing the perfect order, to do that.

He said, in heaven there are no hierarchies, Matthew 20:25-28, this is a particular passage many seek to ignore about Jesus as they seek to propose there form of righteous to entitle them to another’s gain. “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles (Heathen, Rome, Pagan) lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them. Yet it shall not be so among you; (Followers of Christ) but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant. And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave- Just as the Son of Man (Himself, Jesus) did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.”

This teaching was is purposeful revolt against everything we know about power, gain, achievement and to be kings, rulers, or legendary. He was determined to teach of an anarchy against Anti-Christian behaviors that implied absolute power is to have control over another human-beings life. This is in perfect alignment with the teachings of the anarchist and one of my favorite reasonings as to why it is not anti-christian to be an anarchist.

It is suggested that Anarchist are proponents of violence and chaos as if Christians are not. As if Revelations Chapter 19 does not apply to them or are not to be adhered to or recognized. Those, mind you that speak against a Christian’s right to uphold his or her banner, which declares they serve a “King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.” Have yet to read the 22nd Chapter of Revelations and the 16th verse. For if they had, they would see how radical being a Christian really is and stand ready to face the battles against tyranny as any good anarchist would.

With The Cross Of Jesus, Going On Before!~ 

Inktober Starts tomorrow or today..depending on how you look at it, or what side of the world you are on.

I have not seen the list of text prompts that are to be changed into art forms...does anyone know what this years prompts will bring?

I will have to find a way to make time for a daily influx of art prompts and that of my own original storyline..I had thought I was prepared for Inktober this year but I am already beginning to feel the stress of devising time to draw, ink and download material while continuing to tell the story of the Dream Weaver and Nadia, in "Bad Guy".

I am really contemplating holding off on the rest of the story Pages 6-10 until after this month of Inktober is over, but that is not fair to the majority of you that have found this story interesting https://www.patreon.com/AdventVoice It has really been a blast to share a side of the Dream Weaver that is rarely seen with all of you and I would hate to have to stop devising content in order to find to time to ink prints for Inktober.

Decisions, decisions.

I think I can muster the strength to shell out inked works along side panelings and inkings of "Bad Guy." At least I hope so.

If any of you have found the prompt list for this year of Inktober, please share it with me so I can join the fun.

~Art Gallery Update~

The 24th of September it was brought to my attention by an interested gallery owner that I should supply him with more art. In truth it is a wonderful prospect, but at the moment he is really unaware of the kind of art I truly enjoy producing. He has been aware of my SFW (safe for work) products like

( https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/adventvoice/happy-birthday-set )

But to ask him to wrap his head around my NSFW (Not-safe-for-work) productions is too much and no matter how tasteful the product is, it will still cause much undue stress for the more puritan consumer. I would love for a piece like Princess Demi_D to do more than gather dust in my virtual online gallery and closet database but until the world is a little more accommodating for the mature artist or at-least until I happen to find a consumer that is a connoisseur of delicious curves and provocative angles, I am resigned to hold off.

This of course does not deter my efforts in finding a place for digital artists to present some of their finest pieces in a setting that would welcome them and I am even more encouraged at the prospect when talented people such as VicariousE https://vicariouse.newgrounds.com are willing to give such sound advice.

( This is a piece of art that has been displayed in the Pittsboro Youth Theater’s art gallery section for a few months. https://www.chathamartscouncil.org/artist/pittsboro-youth-theater-2/ I have enjoyed coffee there for at lest three years now.)

The past four years has been something special in regards to illustrative art. I’ve bounced around ideas, some good, some bad but along the way I’ve met some wonderful people who I don’t think consider their acquaintance with me to count for much. It does, for an insulated artist as myself, who does not consider the lime light achieved by others, to have favored the industry of art much, but is always desiring to add his two cents to it.

As art is my therapy, so do I desire to make it an instrumental occupation of all genres, being through this language, I have chosen to speak.

(Bob Wade http://bobwadestudios.com/whimsical-art/ passed and a Celebration of life was given to him and hosted by the local art gallery: http://chathamchatlist.com/highlights/2019/04/30/celebration-of-life-for-bob-wade-on-may-4-at-sweet-bee-theatre/ a lot of his works are what you see here. https://www.fergusonfsl.com/notices/Robert-Wade A memorial to a great artist and thought provoking person.)

I think of those that speak against our current digital age and pine away for the hard-copied publications and tire of e-commerce https://twitter.com/naughtymediauk/status/1174794374984687617?s=20 wanting to return to the demand of paid publication and magazine subscriptions and I wonder to myself,

“Why is it so hard to imagine an interconnected world in which the internet is merely a door that shows a person what they can own once they’ve paid a supplier and the innovative creator for his or her work?”

( This space will have to be cleared of old pieces that will be sold for bargain prices and make room for more material. This space could hold your work, if you act fast!! Remember the gallery will ask for 30% of the gross and you keep the rest. )

Why is the notion of an online database, displaying options of purchasable products, secured in a physical location, still hanging in the air of science fiction and the cooperative support of numerous artists vending through one gallery so far fetched?

How do creators as myself move forward in the world of dreams into a productive reality as large as the New York Post or Artists Network Magazine and everyone gets a paid salary?

While I am at it, with all of these questions, “How do I increase my own fan base to compete with that of such publications, How do I revers the idea of the Arts and such a culture filled occupation as not being lucrative or worth the effort?”

I am sure I don’t have to sacrifice my content and begin painting or illustrating food and if I do, what has happened to the creative world in the past eleven years?

( More pieces displayed along the walls of my local gallery: https://chathamcountyevents.com/venue/pittsboro-center-for-the-arts-and-sweet-bee-theater/ Presentations presented to illustrate the need for fresh ideas.)

I have fought hard to prove to the detractors of man’s achievement that the value of contemporary art can not be diminished by our societies refusal to acknowledge it. Nor can the sequestering of thought be used to silence the aptitude and relevance of our guild.

“Armageddon,” is an image that continues to haunt me in its accuracy https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/adventvoice/armageddon https://www.tumblr.com/blog/fadinginfluencerblaze to illustrate a world without the spoken, written, or drawn word.

An immense silence around the nihilistic resistance to the drum beat defeatism. The drunkenness of pitched quite and the roar for the need of ART!

I am sure many of you are in need of a space to express your hidden talent. That is what galleries are for. To have a supplier willing to distribute your hard hand made work is not something to shy away from and should be encouraged if you are able to find someone willing to invest in you.

Why not step into an atmosphere where the proprietor is willing to work with you, cares about your craft and will remember your name after third week of stocking his inventory.

This is perfect niche for the up and coming artist or the seasoned veteran of the business. Instead of dragging feet and devising content to fulfill the whims of a fickle audience, why not set up a showcase where people want you?! 

 A very interesting request has been laid at my feet by an art gallery in my local area. In times past I have presented work there before:

https://avproductionsblog.wordpress.com/2019/01/10/new-year-new-ways-to-evolve-art/

https://avproductionsblog.wordpress.com/2018/12/31/making-history-in-the-new-year/

Well the drive to host digital art and all varieties of art in an actual art gallery has not faded and so when the owner of “SweetBee Theater,” https://www.chathamartscouncil.org/venue/cfta-pittsboro-2/ https://www.facebook.com/CFTAsweetbee/ https://www.chathamartscouncil.org/artist/pittsboro-youth-theater-2/

https://indyweek.com/culture/stage/new-community-supported-arts-center-theater-tremor-earthquake-pittsboro-s-expansion/

asked me to host a website for them to show there gallery and encourage other artists to sell there works through their program I was very excited at the opportunity and wanted to run the idea by those that read my blogs and find my work entertaining and have supported me for the past few years now.

Promoting and selling art is a wonderful passion for me and as an entrepreneur, it is hard for me to imagine doing anything else. I have been driving this engine for a few years now and have learned a few of the ups and downs of the business and though I have not mastered everything there is to know about presenting art in the best of lights, I have learned that none of us can make it in this enterprise all on our own.

It takes a lot of money, exposure, encouragement from supportive friends and family and the community in which live, understanding and respect of the idea that what we do as artists is an occupation worth spending money on.

The pitch that was offered to me, was an inclusion of my more ‘family-friendly,’ pieces at the standard rate of 30% of sales of each piece being garnered by the gallery and the rest of the proceeds going to support the artist. Prior to this offer of online advertisement the gallery was strictly catering to local artists. I am sure after fine tuning some much needed demands of the vendor, the owner of the physical gallery, will come to understand the power of the online market and the need to include and support artists of the global market. To enhance the inclusion of the online market with the solidarity of a physical landscape to house the work of individual creators and ship pieces of work across the nation and abroad, I am sure it will turn this section of the art world into a dispensary of some magnificent pieces that are merely gathering dust in the homes of artists that have been dreaming of getting there works out there.

At the moment I don’t believe there will be a market for NSFW (not safe for work) material but there is always a market for SFW (safe for work) and in this gallery there is room for a wide variety of eclectic ideas.

In a few days I will upload images of what has previously been accepted and hanging on the walls, at the moment because they don’t have an online gallery you won’t know..I will have to take those pictures and show you the space and what is available to you. There will be a devised rotation, but an endless demand for pieces to be uploaded and promoted via the online website. Because the owner is interested in this new development I suggest all of you to cast your work, while the iron is hot. Don’t allow doubts or short sighted ideas hinder you from presenting your work and getting your face out there to those that might decide your piece should be in there home.

I will post updates on this event as time goes by. In the mean time continue to produce pieces of art and allow the creative juices to flow.

If you are interested in this event contact me @ Cag3lefant@aol.com or https://twitter.com/Scope2Mars and you are always welcome to visit me and ask for commissioned pieces of art here: https://adventvoice.newgrounds.com/

Monthly bulletins of the world of art are hosted at my own personal website: https://avproductionsblog.wordpress.com If you would like more information on this development as it is in session join my Discord Server through the link found on https://adventvoice.newgrounds.com/

I have a new banner on Patreon at the moment.

The mask will stand in until I devise a better theme. I recieved a nasty little email yesterday: the Trust and Safety team of Patreon, may apply a temporary suspension to my page if they don't hear from me.

Why? Good Question: I think I might have something to do with https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/adventvoice/maleficent-fantasies-dreams-dirty-version which used to be my banner, before the new upgrade for the sake of safety and the ability to continue publishing.

I was really fond of my Maleficent piece being the banner and now I have to change some things around. All good things must come to an end.

I don't mind sharing the email cause I think it is good information to warn other NSFW artists with: Don't make my mistake:

You can view the entire article on my discord account:

Please update any public posts with adult content to patron only, as well as review your banner, avatar, and reward tier images and remove any adult content. You can review your public posts by navigating to "Posts" and clicking "Public" on the left under your tags. <<< (This part of the letter I am having trouble with because The Trust and Safety Team think my posts are public and people can view my work without having to pay to view it....That is news to me. I posted my work on Patreon for the privacy factor and idea that I could write or draw what I wanted without the Tumblr Effect bothering, without the Twitter censoring team going crazy, or the constant denials of Hentai Foundry about the level of detail put into my work. Now I beginning to feel the availability of charging people to view NSFW material has been diminished by this idea that even if you are not a Paying Patreon or a consuming customer asking for commissioned work, you can just go around viewing and critiquing and infringing upon my copy rights. What a joke if that has been going on and this is there way of saving face by suggesting I am in the wrong because I posted a picture of a giant ejaculating dick or lactating tits.

That is a small issue compared to people not paying me to view my content. I am really hoping this is not another excuse to pull a Tumblr Purge and suggest I am violating public laws when the entire system of Patreon is built on the notion that you have to pay to view my content, if you don't pay, there should be some kind of blurring, God awful barrier put on the image so not to offend anyone. I am hoping it was just the banner that was the issue, which I am sure Mask-Face makes for an easy fix. Sigh...the job of a NSFW producer is needlessly filled with irritating emails threatening to violate my rights to the first Amendment of the American f-ing constitution which at this point in our lives should be mandatory acceptance of all platform providers.

It is a wonderful clause and should be adopted everywhere. It should just be understood and excepted.

We all have the right to say what we want, to write what we like, and to express ourselves as we see fit. I open those rights to the Confederate flag waving weirdo's as well, with the wonderful hope of ever seeing it being made mandatory for a person to pledge allegiance to that thing, just so I can burn it down.

That is how free-thinking institutions are supposed to work. That is how the real world operates and to seek to suppress anyone's right to free speech, freedom of press, freedom of assembly and the right to due process or expression, will only backfire on those seeking to scrub out what they believe should not be. Especially if they find themselves on the wrong side of the questioning panel.

I don't just food for thought.

Felt like adding this in there after thinking about it for a while. I am really glad I have kept all of my journals. I probably should do a better job of saving files digitally, just so when one platform deletes my content, there is another to take it's place in a moments notice. I would hate to have to type everything up all over again. Thank God for wordpress.com. I am not ready to publish "Bad Guy," there yet, but I will have to put what I have there now, just to hold onto what I have written and filed away, since Patreon is not really a safe space for NSFW material anymore.
