RE: Part II of Free Art Frees Art at the SUNY Oswego Campus—March 6, 2026
There should be something in it for both of us. Money isn’t the only driver of exchange.
I totally agree
How many paintings do you create daily, since you mention a day's work?
Does the free art movement grow? It's good to hear you also sell some pieces.
Yes… this Free Art Movement is growing quickly now.

Just waiting for the snow and ice to melt.

I think you’ll really enjoy a day out, handing out art. Make people join Blurt or Steemit. @jompiy is dedicating a day for Blurt in Camden. I just don’t understand why all artists aren’t using these platforms. Zuckerburg just makes everybody sad.
@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”? :)
