BUMMER, Man! a GMG Contest with a prize
BUMMER!
I lost my favorite Hat! It was a gray Lone Gull Coffee House Hat. I loved that hat.
I won a Gift Certificate to the Lone Gull in one of Sharon’s Contests. That’s how I got the Hat in the first place. So, it did mean a lot to me.
So, I’m looking for a New One. Anyone have any suggestions? If not I’ll buy another Lone Gull Hat.
The Winning suggestion gets a priceless plug on GMG! or a
limited edition Priceless GMG T-Shirt as seen in the Horribles Parade.
The Hat has to be Cape Ann related.
Sorry, but Joey won’t allow me to take any freebies, So no Bribes! wink, wink.
Contest ends when I say it does. Also GMG Employees are not eligible (did I spell that right?) Goodluck All!
Thanks!, Paul

“Art not Art” from deb Clarke
Art not Art
from; deb Clarke
A few years ago I found a dozen of these handblown glass panels at the building center. i incorporated them into wax/gild wire creations. the heat of this summer has melted the wax and most of the gold leaf is now buried in the wax. i like playing around with the idea of what is art, is it the making of something intentional? my intent here was to show off the beauty of the materials.
it’s summertime, so here’s a pic of my garden, which is coming in later than other gardens around here. must be the shade from the oak.

“Ignore Everybody” Hugh McLeod, From deb Clarke
Give this video a chance. It has a lot of great advice for the creative person.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ax_COkpcBQ8
from deb Clarke;
and here is his common sense advice that got it all started
from Ignore Everybody and 39 Other Keys to Creativity by Hugh McLeod
1. Ignore everybody.
2. The idea doesn’t have to be big. It just has to be yours.
3. Put the hours in.
4. If your biz plan depends on you suddenly being “discovered” by some big shot, your plan will probably fail.
5. You are responsible for your own experience.
6. Everyone is born creative; everyone is given a box of crayons in kindergarten.
7. Keep your day job.
8. Companies that squelch creativity can no longer compete with companies that champion creativity.
9. Everybody has their own private Mount Everest they were put on this earth to climb.
10. The more talented somebody is, the less they need the props.
11. Don’t try to stand out from the crowd; avoid crowds altogether.
12. If you accept the pain, it cannot hurt you.
13. Never compare your inside with somebody else’s outside.
14. Dying young is overrated.
15. The most important thing a creative person can learn professionally is where to draw the red line that separates what you are willing to do, and what you are not.
16. The world is changing.
17. Merit can be bought. Passion can’t.
18. Avoid the Watercooler Gang.
19. Sing in your own voice.
20. The choice of media is irrelevant.
21. Selling out is harder than it looks.
22. Nobody cares. Do it for yourself.
23. Worrying about “Commercial vs. Artistic” is a complete waste of time.
24. Don’t worry about finding inspiration. It comes eventually.
25. You have to find your own schtick.
26. Write from the heart.
and here is his website. his site already inspires me to revamp my nest a bit. i like his short concise introduction.
best,
deb.

New Solar Compactor Trash Collectors in Gloucester
Deb Clarke pics and writes-
This is one of the new solar compactor trash collectors the city purchased with a grant. this one is one main street next to the Judith Sargent Murray Hough house stairs.
The city has already seen a reduction in illegal trash dumping in public receptacles, only has to empty these about 2 times a week. there is less trash blowing around main street these days, and fewer opportunistic scavengers!

heres the solar panel on the compactor

The Art Collectors, from; deb Clarke
from; deb Clarke
Watched this documentary on PBS last night and decided that if they could fit over 4000 pieces of original art in their New York City apartment, I have plenty of room in mine for my extensive collection. I have never met collectors like the Vogels. The Vogels really got to know the artists, the artists’ process, and really supported the artists at critical times in their career.
There are a few collectors of my work that have more than one of my works, but there are no collectors as intimately familiar with my work as the Vogels. My paintings have sold one at a time, with very few repeats. Why? because most of my sales have been commissioned for the space over the couch, the sideboard, the bed. The biggest impact this video had on me is that it gave me great courage to continue and helped me to see some of my ‘hidden work’ as valid. So, I won’t throw it out. I will look at my art hiccups, see the value and remember that there is more to painting and making art than making pretty pictures.

“AHHT” It’s what I Do! by deb Clarke
From deb Clarke;
Most of my work these past few weeks has been focused on the view in Cripple Cove. Today and yesterday I stretched and triple primed this 38×42″ canvas. I planned to draw on the gessoed surface with a sharpie marker, but I’m having a hard time making that first irreversible mark. My plan was to base a painting on favorite drawings of looking down on Capt Joe’s docks . pics of my recent drawings, the ‘white angst’, and source material follow.
- Photo Reference, View from my House
- Primed and Ready

Thinking of Cezanne, from Deb Clarke
From, deb Clarke;
Here’s a quick recap of my Memorial Day on East Main. Here are 2 pics: one is my reference material looking down on Joey’s docks across to the State Fish Pier with the city and western shore in the far distance, with a bit of green in the sky caused by the Canadian woodfires’ haze. I’ve been thinking alot about Cezanne and how he made plane changes in his paintings. Cezanne wanted to create a painting with the solidity of a sculpture. He didn’t rely on a directed light to illuminate objects; instead, he emphasized the form and organization of the picture plane through the direction of his stroke and color changes. The light seems to come from ‘within Cezanne’s paintings’. In my work in progress I’ve paid particular attention to the way planes meet. My space is getting a bit wonkie, and I am very interested in the spot that is in the very center of my painting.
best,
deb
ps: I will put work up on the wall as often as my time and weather permits!
Deb’s “Wall of Art” can be seen if your driving on East Main St. towards Bass Ave, on the right side of the road between Capt. Joe’s Lobsters (Joey’s place) and Zeke’s Restaurant.

Banana’s Mystery Item REVEALED!
Banana’s Mystery Item REVEALED!
From, deb Clarke;
1920’s American Dancer/Film Actress/Writer Louise Brooks may have worn panties very similiar to the panties hanging from Bananas’ tin ceiling while dancing a fan dance in Paris, or in film, or with the Ziegfield Follies. our feathered panties are from a long closed 1930’s Miami Beach nightclub. the g-string guess was pretty close, but these babies are many strands away from a ‘g’. btw: her helmet haircut became the iconic hairdo of the times. perhaps Betty Page copied Louise’s ‘doo’.
