It Is Said That Art Saves Lives......

Image
.... now I am asking you to save the life an artist. I don't know if anyone reading this understands the situation I am in so now I will let you know about a little story. In late October, 2008 I was at a point when I really thought no one cared about me.  I was getting foreclosure notices on my home and living by myself and with not being able to work a regular job (because of my Brain Injury disability) I thought I would be living on the streets.  I felt like no one cared, not any friends or family.  I was devastated over this for a while, to the point of being suicidal.  Yep, there it is SUICIDAL.  The cops came to my door (apparently a friend did care enough to call the cops) and I ended up going to the hospital because I was not safe.  Not safe from myself.  The psychiatrist from the hospital said that what was causing this was what is called a Major Stressor and what happens to the physical condition of your mind is that neurotransmitters are not charging and so solutions

Change Of Blog Title & Why

I had an interesting meeting with a peer from SCORE that has made me want to pause for a bit, whether it be gentle or forced will be up to me.  I have had the opportunity now to let new perspectives start to breach my art selling reality.  Those are not the best words for what is transcribing in my mind but suitably close enough. FOCUS is what he was trying to convey.  And for anyone wanting to change their selling strategy of their work/business it is sticking in my mind as being important enough to notice it. Point #3 Psychographic -  Psychographics  is the study of personality, values, opinions, attitudes, interests, and lifestyles.

Disabled Artist Kris Haas Needs Your Donation Supports Today

Image
And one more thing before I forget............. I am really in need of your support right now for my You Care fundraiser.  I am in threat of being homeless if I don't receive enough money to pay for my rent for 2 months.  I had been given an eviction notice and went to court and the attorney for the landlord has agreed to give me a little more time to come up with the rent.  He didn't seem to care if I had a Brain Injury Disability and was un-willing to give me a Reasonable Accommodation.  And this all started back in March when I gave my presentation at the Oregon Brain Injury Conference because they wanted to hear more from survivors of BI's. There is more detailed info on the You Care site which I am posting a link here  You Care Eviction Prevention fund Raiser For Disabled Artist Kris Haas I can't be on the computer for much longer since I am close to having seizures (for the 2nd time today) but I just want to say a very big THANK-YOU to all of those that have

Nothing much today other then

Even after 12 hours of sleep I am still close to having seizures and my brain wants more.  All in all yesterday was a very good day since I am going to be a part of the world famous gallery scene in Portland's own Pearl district. HIP HIP HOORAY!!!! I have been waiting for this for almost 20 years. Here is the gallery:  http://www.jpepinartgallery.com/

Court Was Today And It Is Such A Bizarre Reality That They Live In.............

............... or is my reality bizarre.  Something to think about for a while This lovely item sold on ArtFinder last night.  It is so striking in person and the person that did purchase is going to love it 10 times more.  I love how my work on sites that are devoted to fine art sell for more then they ever did on Etsy.

TIME TO ADD SOMETHING NEW!!!!!!!! And The Most Profound Thing I Realized Is...

Image
Yes my eviction notice is still pending but sometimes you just have to brush aside your worries and focus on the wonderful things in your life.  Like my ability to create endlessly. For those of you that don't know me as an artist I am highly creative and extremely prolific in what I do create.  I even created 10,202 pieces between November 8th, 2008 - November 7th, 2009.  It was not something expected or planned.  How could you.  Certain circumstances that happened right after each other over a few weeks time period made it so that I couldn't ignore what I was doing.  With this said I will get on to my PROFOUND REALIZATION. I sent this email to a dear friend of mine just under and hour ago after I realized something very, VERY, VERY   profound: I had the most profound realization about an hour ago.  Because I have read books like The Secret and understand the Law Of Attraction and vibrational energy and attracting what you, etc....  One of the things I remember Rhonda  B
