@jompiy gives away his art in Camden, and has been doing so for about two years. His videos made me think quite a bit about the concept. I visited him last April and tagged along. What a high! There are limitations, but it’s a great way to use art for communication and reciprocation. Take out the middleman, and when you can, take out the money changing hands and find other ways for people to support the artist. As far as I know, the “movement” is just Edgeworth (Jompiy), and me as staunch advocate and sometimes practitioner:) Oh, and it looks like @offgridlife might take a stab at it. Great!
I make one, two, or three paintings a day, six days a week on average. Big, big paintings, 2-4 days, unless they’re collaborations with my wife Rose, who takes her sweet time, because she’s off making bread and honey.
Yes, selling would be nice. Consignment selling is bogus unless the consignee can guarantee an acceptable market base, which is rare if we’re not playing with millionaires. Notice the word “con” in “consignee”? :)
