still going 345

now to work on the background, still thinking of what i should put back there.

here are a few encouraging email I have received from the cool people at First Friday. I'm putting it here so i can be inspired. :)

Hi Chatree,

Yes, you could say I have perfected the art of "hanging out". You and Mike were probably asking yourselves "Who is this guy and why is he just hanging out here?"

Anyway, it's my way of having fun. You're an amazing artist and it was great just sitting around watching people get off on your drawings.

I know you got tons and tons of names and I hope you're following up on them, especially that guy Tony at the end. He seemed really to be a good link.

I know you're saying you don't want to sell your stuff, it's just for fun. Well hell, why not have fun making a living!!

Let me know what's going on, and if not anything else, maybe I'll see you next month.

Congratulations on a successful First First Friday.

Best always, Mark

to me

The thank you should be backwards man. Thanks for giving the oppurtunity to ask you for any tips and advice.

I am going to have my art and friends of mine art posted up on a myspace that we are currently working on. Its a krew like a graffiti krew but not exactly that, even though we're using graffiti as a medium we're also looking for other ways to post up our art and ideas. The krew's name is Evolution Projects; what Evolution Projects is mainly about is expossing the streets to alternative thoughts to look beyond what is fed to us by mainstream news, tv etc.

If your interested in any way let me know and I'll keep you posted.

P.S

I checked out you site and wow im seriuosly awwed by your work dude.

Yes, Chatree, I did enjoy seeing your work, as well as that of other artists. I remember this guy who made guitars, another who did these extraordinary ceramic sculptures, another blew his own glass works, and another made these wonderful decorated boxes. Had a lot of fun. But your work rates very high, very detailed and very imaginative. Of the hundreds of artists who displayed, you and this one other guy were my two favorites. I would be happy to socialize with you personally, or else just stay connected on the web. I would be happy to share some of my music with you, the CDs, and even show you how their made.
