How to Keep From Starving as an Artist in Portland
Hard to believe I am still here feeding you cool cats the “real deal” on such a regular basis–that means I do it a lot. Times are hard out on the streets of Portland, especially as an artist. I mean, I get it, gang. We can’t all master the bio-rhythms of eight dimensions while shaving [...]
First Thursday is Fuckin’ RAD
Art Jeanyus here, back from a world-wide expedition to bring you the latest (and not so latest) news on what’s happening out there in the past, present, and by way of my telepathic powers, the future. I’ve been on what you would call a hiatus ( sorry, I mean gone from work ) and I’ve [...]
Things Ta Do With Art That Ain’t That Good
Art Jeanyus here, back again and taking a long deserved break from being a genius lab rat for the less fortunate. Today I want to discuss how you as an art collector can reuse some of those paintings you’ve purchased in the middle of a night while you were blacked out, or perhaps you just [...]
GREAT IDEAS for not so great people!
As an avid believer in spreading intellect throughout this great cosmic (giant blackness with lights every where around you) universe. I wanted to pay a little more attention to the few, well few too many creative persons out there in the fine city of Portland Oregon. As an artist you become faced with many challenges. [...]
Ten MORE Things NOT to Do in Portland
First I want to use the big word “Apologize” which means sorry and I say this because I have not been on here much lately. To explain every detail of my time spent else where would no doubt confuse you all and send you into mass hysteria ( Oh shit! ) I mean panic. So [...]
Ten Things NOT to Do in Portland
Wow, Well folks, dudes and strippers we had a good run with our commentary on the art scene and I know that first sentence really confused everyone out there so I will spell it out for you on your level. Yo it was cool dude we were just chatting about Portland art yeah man, that was cool. After the riot/ brawl/ war that happened in our office and with the faculty now questioning where this website is headed in the future we have all come to conclusion that as professional, as people with degrees other then bar hopping we have all decided we need to spread our educated skills into new realms (Realms means places). So as the website expands (that means gets bigger), We will advising you folks on the ins and outs, the hip and not hip, the cool and lame as you would say happenings in Portland. Everything from news, weather, clubs, bands, Beer fests, a lot of beer fests and sights to be seen. Of course art will always be one of our major focal points at Portlandcityart.com but there is so much more to discuss. So to kick off this new spin on one of the greatest websites I have ever worked on we have a new column written by yours truly entitled
Approximate @ galleryHOMELAND
Our subject today is rather simpleton, we have been asked to critique a John Motley article from the Portland Mercury, a darling little publication worth its’ weight in soiled bedsheets. In it he praises the collaborative installation, Approximate, currently disturbing those unfortunate enough to find themselves scurrying the hallways of galleryHOMELAND. I believe I will let you have the floor, Tan, as this sort of thing deserves your brand of commentary.
Welcome: On Your Level
I am well aware that as an artist or just a public shmo you have already spent most of your day drinking cheap beer and smoking weed so making your head hurt with large confusing (whoops, did it right there!) with large hard to get words is simply not very nice. I have even made a list that I will keep in front of me to help me understand your adorable Portland Phonics (whoops!) Portland Lingo. I will focus on sharing with you my immense (my “bad”!) big wisdom on a level that you will comprehend (damn! again!) I mean so you can get it!
