Dear Mr. Hawk,

Thank you for this post and your more recent ones. This is an excellent blog. To determine if I am an important new artist, I’d like to invite you to visit my museum (shameless plug #2)

thanks,
MQG

I am thrilled that you are doing this. Your blog reaches so many people and it is important to use this platform to highlight artists who would otherwise be overlooked. I agree with a lot of what you say. There is certainly a select group of people/organizations who make these decisions. I appreciate their choices but I’m also open to seeing art that is not necessarily in the mainstream. As a fine art photographer I find this frustrating but also encouraging bc it just pushes me to keep at it and continue doing what I love.

I follow so many blogs and come across amazing work and I love going through Flickr and finding treasures like these that are not always featured on the Explore and Interestingness pages (I don’t understand that the selections of that algorithm half the time anyway). I’ve been following Super Cutie’s work for a while and I hope she gets all the exposure she deserves – it’s great that you featured her here.

Another excellent idea Thomas. I fully appreciate your argument on the insular art world. My father-in-law produced thousands of great works of art for over 50 years. With very little to be gained financially, in fact at a loss due to the cost of art materials, he persisted because it was in his heart and soul to paint and to sculpt. I hope that you are right, and that the free internet ‘press’ delivers on this promise to level the playing field.

And now, the shameless plug: Some of my father-in-law’s paintings can be seen at http://www.artworksbydavid.com
