Founded in 2008. Welcome to the Artists Cafe and introduction 2009.

It is super to see thirty members here and growing!

The Artist Cafe is seen as a necessary devise to a healthy community who will wish to discus, swap stories and expertise or just chat about the price of bread. Hanging out is allowed, learning from each other also. It is a membership driven and run Cafe!

Pasting up whatever images via the image button as part of a discussion or as an expression is encouraged.

History 2008-2009
The cafe became under new administration since the Founder and freeholder bar keep went 'walkabout'!

A 'custodian' took the lease, so to speak.
Michael took the administration of the cafe for three months originally intending an ending March 2009, when he will yield to a another if requested, helping to keep things flowing and fresh! ( see below**)

Topics are wide and varied. The Cafe ask everyone to be appreciative that members are multi-ethnic and cultural, whether residing in your country or another, as well as in differing economic circumstances maybe to yourselves. Motives for undertaking art differ as much as the world continues to revolve. Conviviality is very appreciated. Joining in conversations &c. is not obligatory!

Please also remember that each member is privately (their eyes only) connectable via your own page mail.

Also refer to Discussion forum notes, in the notes tab!

All the best
The Bar keep.

Bar Keep post is up for election indefinitely. If no one wishes to take over in March I will carry on or …

The Cafe would like an assistant to cover the American time zone. If anyone would like to do that it involves: welcoming a new member by selecting there request to join and then sending them a welcome; they then become an active member of the group here. Anyone applying will become an administrator!

The cafe is open to all members. You may come and go, un- register as a member at any time and re- register likewise!

Strange things happening with the software, my last post hung every time, yet it seems to be there. Just following-up, so my words get noticed !
Thomas Hodges Comment by Thomas Hodges 1 day ago
Earlier today, I received an e-mail in my Inbox, which informed me of the following:

"Ninon CZ added a comment to your profile on b-uncut.net:

Hi Thomas ~ I am sorry that I can't accept your friend request. I have a personal aversion to the exploitation of women. I honestly find you work "pornographic" and not artistic. These are just per..."

The comment did not however appear on my profile page, so I can only presume it was deleted after having been posted. I posted a reply comment back to Ninon CZ's profile page (who only recently joined b-Uncut), which basically said the following:

"Please do not feel the need to apologise for refusing to accept my friend request, it is your loss not mine.

Just so you are aware, I do not "exploit" women ! In-fact, more than 70% of my clients are female and I also receive an average of some 30 requests per month, from women asking me if I would photograph them (they range in age from 17 years to 55 years). As such, it would tend to suggest that you are in-fact the exception, not the rule. Perhaps you need to question your own values ? Perhaps you also need to read this most recent magazine article, written by a woman !: http://www.photoconception.com/images/blog/lux-gallery_hodges.pdf

Wishing you the very best, Thomas."

However, you probably won't see the comment I posted, because Ninon CZ censors her comments before allowing them to appear on her profile page (I wonder why ?).

What a sad world we live in when one extends the hand of friendship only to have it bitten ! I really feel sorry for these kind of people !

Hey Cameron,
I have found that my best creative times come when I just pull the painting off the easel and just spend a few days studying it. Not doing any work to it till I see everything it is trying to show me.
I never really know where the end result is going to be from the time I put the first brush stroke down. Each painting is a story with in itself.

Hi all,
Michael i like that comment about

"It's there, sort of thing. I can be lazy about it yet it is there!"

This has some resonance with me , i often wonder why i dont create or make something at sometime, and i wonder if there is an element of the work needing to mature within before it "becomes" ?
What do people think?
Cameron Craig Comment by Cameron Craig on May 6, 2009 at 9:16am

MCJ, thanks very much!
Michael, I really enjoyed you Capercorn combination. I only started having dogs as an adult and was surprised at the deep connection that can be made with them.
