NEW BLOG!

Hey kids: I know you all have nothing better to do with your precious time than keeping up with another blog, so I wanted to let you know that I'm trying this experiment of keeping a separate blog about my artwork, hoping it will inspire me to keep showing it and making progress towards selling it.

Here's the link: GlinkArt4Sale

Hey all y'all, thanks for the encouragement on the artwork!!! :-)

I picked up the paintbrushes yesterday at home to try and make further progress on this painting. I actually did some glazes in an attempt to make the flesh look more human. (It was looking cadaverous previously because I was following Rembrandt's greenish pallette.) I have way more to do on it and the critique is tomorrow, so I'm going to try and paint for much of today.

I am getting super-frustrated with my lack of tech capabilities. I would really like to get a digital camera and some broadband service; I'm still on dial-up! I am getting to the point where I am realizing that as a visual and performing artist, it is absurd not to have these things that almost every middle-class person in America has.

hope you all are well,
your "San Francisco Values" pal,
Alb./Grove

Still Alive!

Smart Queens know not to go out to the Castro on the actual day of Halloween. Jesus! Some jerks shot at each other, 7-10 injured. Thank God no one was killed!

Anyway, in way more important blogging newz: I took this pic in my bathroom mirror when I got home on Saturday. I can't believe how GLAM I still look, considering how bedraggled I actually felt after traipsing around all over Creation for hours!

I amuse myself. (I'm glad you amuse SOMEONE, Glinka darling...)
