Sunday 03/06/2011 “Art, Rock!” Reported in!
Email contact!
Hi,
> I found your rock while leaving good harbor with my dog on Sunday. Great rock! Do you want it back??
My reply back to Baba:
Hi Baba!
I’m A little “Strange”. Just ask Joey! When The mood hits I’ll draw on a rock where I’m at and leave it and see if anyone will respond. So, I thank you for responding. You can keep it if you like, if not! throw it back in the ocean for another few hundred years. 🙂 Do what you wish with it! I don’t need it back. I always hope someone will like the drawing. If not oh well. Take it as, goodluck? It may not be Megamillions but…..
Thanks again for the reply!

Get your Art Blog Noticed Today, With these 8 Simple Rules
For all the GMG Artist’s Out There.
GET NOTICED!
From EmptyEasel.com;
“Now that your art blog is up-and-running (and you have a few posts under your belt) it’s time to get that blog noticed! Below are 8 simple rules for getting more readers. . . and more attention online.
1. Write Appealing Content
The first rule to getting your blog post noticed by others is to remember who your audience is. You’re not writing in your personal art diary, you’re writing to an audience. Therefore, it’s important that you keep your posts reader-focused.
Its okay to share personal insights about art and the art business, its okay to toot your own horn once in awhile, it’s even okay to share your personal struggles. . . just make sure that when you do, you leave your readers with some sort of “take home value.”
In other words, if you’ve written about a recent struggle you’ve experienced, conclude the post with a solution. If you’ve yet to resolve the problem, share resources (i.e. some helpful links) to possible solutions.
2. Write Each Post Like You’re Talking To A Friend
What would you rather read? A post that feels stifled and bogged down with impersonal, textbook-sounding statements, or a post that makes you feel as though the blogger is one of your dearest, and most treasured, friends?
Blog posts which make the reader feel like a real person get shared the most, so when writing your posts, write as though you are writing to your best friend, not a stranger. Write in your own voice and stick to one subject per post.”

Video Interview with Deb Bretton Robinson- Alchemy Artist Of The Month
GLOUCESTER STAGE SETS 2011 PLAY PASS SEASON
Gloucester Stage Artistic Director Eric C. Engel recently announced Gloucester Stage’s 2011 Summer Play Pass season to begin on Thursday, June 9 with Living Together, the second installment of The Norman Conquests trilogy by Alan Ayckbourn. Living Together features the full cast from Gloucester Stage’s 2010 hit production of Table Manners, the trilogy’s first installment. The Gloucester Stage professional summer season also includes a powerful world premiere drama by an acclaimed stage, screen and television writer; a chamber version of one of the heartiest and heart warming musicals ever written; the return of last season’s moving Trying with the acclaimed 2010 cast and the return of Founding Artistic Director Israel Horovitz as he brings a re-envisioning of a play he first premiered at Gloucester Stage 17 years ago. According to Engel, “I’m hoping for and expecting to have our best season ever–the best of who we’ve been recently, who we’ve been historically as a champion of smart new plays, and, at the same time, venturing into new territory to present an intimate version of a really big musical. I’m thrilled with the roster of returning artists. How exciting to have the full casts from last season’s Table Manners and Trying committed to join us again in summer 2011!” Single tickets and play passes for the 2011 Season are available for purchase by calling the Gloucester Stage Box Office at 978-281-4433 or visiting www.gloucesterstage.org.
