The
Wittig Report - on the interface between Life and Art
Welcome to the Wittig
Report.
On the one hand there
is 'Art,' and on the other hand, there is 'Life,'
...and somewhere in
the middle, they meet.
June began with
a continuation of the still life trend that had begun in May, and ended in a
flurry of oil on canvas political cartoons... or social commentaries, depending
on the viewer's point of view. The summer heat is here, now, and with it, a
little more craziness creeps into my work, than in the cooler parts of the
year. I can't wait to see what July will bring.
Detachment, is
to lovingly allow another person the dignity tro go to hell.

Paint and Politics
"I think
that liars are, by definition, afraid. I think that extremists, whether they
are religious fanatics, or hyper-greedy business people, or power hungry
politicians, are by definition, either conscious liars, or people so sick with
their own shit, that their lying has become pathological.
I don't think that either Allah,
or a mountain of money, will dissolve the liar's shadow, which is the shadow of
fear.
In order for that to happen, we
will have to stop lying."

I
found this guy with the search term 'artist on ebay'. He writes, paints, and
sells his work on eBay, so naturally, I was immediately interested. Make sure
to follow the link to eBay, to see what he has for sale.
