“Art, Rocks!” Better Late Than Never! Rockport 09/04/2010
“Art, Rocks!”
Better Late Than Never!
I received an email a few weeks ago from a 10 year old boy who when he was nine years old at the time he found one of my “Art,Rocks!” a Rock that I left at T-Wharf in Rockport on 09/04/2010. I think that was about 9 months ago. I remember leaving it there after having a cup of coffee and watching the Lobstermen get ready for their day. About 5am. I always wonder about the ones I leave that don’t get reported back to the email I leave on them. Currently the last three that I’ve left in the past two weeks that I never gave notice on GMG Have not been reported back. Which is fine. In this world we live in now, maybe people think there is a catch too this thing. Maybe they think I want money for it. Emails like Coopers who found it is payment enough! I will never ask anything for them. An email would be nice but, If I don’t get a response that’s fine too! Mystery and fantasy is what makes life! isn’t it?
Here’s the email from Cooper and Photos of the “Art, Rock!” He found! Who could ask for anything more?!!!! Thanks Cooper!
Am I a little weird? Maybe! 🙂
from Cooper;
Dear mr or mrs frontiero. I picked up one of your pictures of the motif in a parking lot in rockport on 9-4-2010. I am very sorry not to get back to you sooner. I am a 10 year old boy and I’m in fourth grade at st johns in Beverly Massachusetts . I picked it up when i was nine with my aunt and little sister delaney who is now 6. That is my lucky rock because that day I won a contest at bearskin neck country store. You are a beautiful artist. Sincerely , Cooper
I’m Not a Writer, so please forgive any errors! 🙂

Fort “Art, Rock!” Found!!
The “Art, Rock!” I was inspired to sketch by my Father was found Saturday at the Fort Playground. Janey Brancaleone and her Dog Lola Were walking at the Fort Saturday when Lola sniffed Out the Rock under one of the Park Benches at the Playground. It’s a Beautiful and underated place to watch the Harbor action go by.
Art Critics can be Tough. But I think I passed Lola’s Art Test. She Sniffed the Rock out and didn’t Pee on it! what Artist could ask for more? That will be the one Art review that I will cherish for a long Time! 🙂
Thanks Again Janey and Lola.

Voyeurism 101- “Art, Rocks!” The Movie- One Of The Top 5 Funniest Movies We’ve Ever Done
There are about 5 spots in here where I just bust out laughing.
The video just continues to ramp up and ramp up and ramp up in intensity right through the end. We were absolutely rolling in the office by the 10 minute 30 second mark and then it just goes into overdrive.

Thursday Night ROCKS!
I’m finding it hard to make finding these Rocks Hard.
There’s this one with the photo hint:
You’ll have to look around for it. It’s a small one.
Then there’s another one out there you just have to get lucky and trip over. Well, maybe not so lucky to trip over.

Ok! It’s past 6pm and the Rapture didn’t come. Maybe next time.
Here’s the location in photos. It should be easy enough for most.
The Rock was left at: 7:29pm and 59 seconds.
Goodnite and Goodluck!

Paulie Frontiero’s Art Set Up In The New Khan Studio/Good Morning Gloucester Gallery
To say that I’m excited about the gallery would be an understatement. I’m looking forward to seeing people at the openings and being part of the Rocky Neck Community. EJ did an incredible job!
The idea EJ had to offer artists two week art shows in a guest artist space is brilliant. For a small amount of money an artist can have space at a high traffic area on Rocky Neck, they get the incredible power and reach of the Blog (lately 17-24,000 people per day) to talk about their show, and they can have their own opening for their two week stint. Any artist that is interested in what I consider to be an awesome opportunity should contact EJ an lock down a two week span.
Imagine this- you are a FOB and you are coming to Gloucester for a couple of weeks this summer. You could come and have an art show on the oldest Art Colony in the Country. Or if you are a local but don’t have a studio space to show your stuff, you could use the power of GMG to get your stuff shown and promoted on the blog and feed off that energy for a two week exhibit. No-brainer, right?
Contact EJ for available weeks- believe there are 5 slots that are spoken for.

“Little Sandra” from Glenn AKA “Swimdad”
This is a great photo from Glenn. AKA “Swimdad” A Gloucester Fishermam now residing in the great State of California. Glenn is one on my biggest supporters when my posts get a little carried away. I always appreciate his support. Your right Glenn “we’re getting F’N Old!”
From Glenn AKA “Swimdad”;
Hi Paul; I have been trying to get this pic to you but had to wait till I got a new all in one printer. The person who took this got in touch with Matt and wanted to know if anyone would like copies back in 1978, never did get the persons name. That’s me on the left, Tommy in the middle, Matt on the winch and Skipper Mike in the pilot house.
Almost 33 years ago, boy are we getting fuck’n old

Thanks again always for your support and this great Photo!

RUST!
From WIKIPEDIA;
“Oxidation of iron metal
When iron is in contact with water and oxygen, or other strong oxidants and/or acids, it rusts. If salt is present as, for example, in salt water, it tends to rust more quickly, as a result of the electro-chemical reactions. Iron metal is relatively unaffected by pure water or by dry oxygen. As with other metals, like aluminium, a tightly adhering oxide coating, a passivation layer, protects the bulk iron from further oxidation. Thus, the conversion of the passivating iron oxide layer to rust results from the combined action of two agents, usually oxygen and water. Other degrading solutions are sulfur dioxide in water and carbon dioxide in water. Under these corrosive conditions, iron hydroxide species are formed. Unlike iron oxides, the hydroxides do not adhere to the bulk metal. As they form and flake off from the surface, fresh iron is exposed, and the corrosion process continues until all of the iron is either consumed or all of the oxygen, water, carbon dioxide, or sulfur dioxide in the system are removed or consumed.[2]
