We did not "pay" Leafly for this article and the only pay we do give is the weekly paycheck to our veteran employees. I am sorry you feel this way about THC and our community outreach. We are doing what we can, however we can.

And to add, we have not advertised our program other than to post to Veteran groups, there are no ads, no billboards, nothing. Plus our program began in June and you will not find "advertising". One question Mr. SW, what issue do you have with helping veterans? Are there rules that need to be followed?

Re: Real Reactions to Artist Postcards: Kept or Tossed?

thank you so much for this. i teach photo students at Art Center College of Design, and we discuss what makes an impact in a short amount of time, what images pop out, and as with students and recent grads, what is cost effective. One of the best resources that I have come across is the annual Art Book Fair by Printed Matter at PS1 MOMA this coming September, the take aways are original and well thought out by the publishers there.

"Smart money buys when the public despairs, and sells into crowd euphoria." Best quote. I have despaired at the spread of hoaxes, non-news and gossip because one news outlet wants to be the first out of the gate. How many times can you cry wolf before you become toothless?

If you are the artist Eva Lake, then I have to tell you that I have been an admirer of your work since seeing it in the same book that we are in "Cutting Edges". I believe I have to do this because I am listening to my instincts. However this turns out, I will have learned a great life experience and will be able to impart this to my students and friends. Your comment is food for thought.

Yves-Alain Bois says a body of work, single works can be compared to single works, but compare the whole body of work. Starbucks has one single work, i have a body of work that i can show that is made entirely by me.

hi all, thanks for the feedback. It is similar to being a parent, i can see the similarities and colors. Yes, the shapes are generic, however i have been working in this style for years and been published. My work has been viewed half a million times on flickr (the collages alone account for 7/8 of that). My work is not digital, it is all hand done. If you want to show that Starbucks' flame is similar to more than mine, than i challenge you to find work that is similar to both of our's.
Plus I am not going to be the artist that says "oh wow, i am not going to fight this". I have worked in this style and it is the way "I paint".

Wonderful idea Steve, and it is amazing the value that Sears has for the money. I remember drooling over Sears catalogs when i was little and wishing for the toys. :O)

The best came out of the worst for me. Not that it was pleasant to go through, but I learned more from failing than nailing it right the first time. And when I did, I couldn't repeat it. ;O) great post Steve.
