Back to the drawing board
It seemed so possible and almost there. I finally heard from and got to talk to the realtor Steven Apuzzi, who is affiliated with the space I very much think would be ideal for a gallery night. He called me back and I was on the street there was no way I was going to miss his call but I didn’t have a pen so was not able to write down the owner’s number and I don’t trust my mind to remember past a block so I asked him to text me his number he said OK. Did not get text so I called him and am now after a few days on my 4th call back to good ole’ Steve – not sure when I am going to give up. Grrr it felt so close!! I have a few other spaces I am inquiring about. I have given up on being solid on the date until I get the actual space. It is going to be all about the collaboration with the owner – maybe I can find a cool individual who owns space that could help us out- is that feasible?
Intent
Dreams if they can come true, the poster on side will be spread all over in the next day. Ahh today was ten days to the day I would like to hold the event and I have not heard back from the realtor that I hope too work with, I have been rejected two places thus far. I fear I jumped before rigging a net, what am I going to do? is it to close? It is time to be more aggressive and track down a number where someone will answer the phone. If it doesn’t happen with this space what can I do? The space excites me I think it could prove itself as a gallery and maybe we will all do well – I want a gallery now that would be something. Ha ha I can hardly pay my own rent let alone take on another. But I am only as I was created, my brain has been seemingly stubborn. Back in yoga class that always does something, I went back to the old studio today, it was pretty cool but hot ha ha. My focus with the practice has gotten better through all these years, I hope that is happening with my art and the business. The struggle for me has always been being able to calm down, settling into the moment, possibly my life has been a test of patience… it is getting better, but there are moments it quickens this feeling everything feels dire I messed up again but it passes they all do. This event can happen I feel it to be possible!! in the meantime I will pray.
Pre-Post about Night of Art on 5th
The idea of Pop-Up galleries have begun well popping up ha ha anyway I think Brooklynegg should be involved with starting to show some artists work and join the idea. Have spoken with 5th Avenue BID and they love the idea and would help with the initial conversation with realtors. We have 7 artists on board- Marisa Arvonio, Warren Beisher, Liz Daggar, Jonathon Fritz, Kimberly Fenwick, David Satre and Joe Shulz!! Now we need one or a few realtors to help us out. Tomorrow is an important day to do press releases. Updates to follow.
Stuff on my desk.
One of the many obstacles of building a business has been me getting in my own way.
Jungle fowl
I took this when in Peru on Lake Sandoval. It was pretty magical, I miss the jungle. Recently realized i was lucky enough to go for 3 years in a row to the rainforest, twice to Costa Rica and once to Panama and then Peru in 2008.
It feels like this business has been stuck in mud or molasses or something pretty sure the block is me. I would like to get to writing everyday about process. ! Wow I have a very lack of focus, lists and notebooks help but I find through the years my attention span has quite literally dissipated. That is what I enjoyed about time there in the tech free jungle – speaking of I got rid of my tv !! gave it to some friends. I can pretty much watch everything online and I believe it might help with the attention span problem. OK I need to do some sketches for an app & organize some portfolios.
We do have a few projects are in the hopper- an accupuncture website, an icon for an app and portfolio work is coming in.
Events to come Life Drawing, Magazine premiere and a BIG Art Night
a study of blue and buildings
I have been doing a lot of wandering and taking photos and at night drawing then inking. The egg is feeling rumbly. Things are stirring discussions of an event are beginning and some locations are presenting themselves. I am in process of creating some new portfolios!! And also would love to figure out how to have an art night show.
Happy Spring!
It’s finally Spring! We are inspired here at brooklynegg & ready to create a butt load of brilliant design ideas!
