This is it: Spectacular, yes? Anyone who knows my taste in motorcycles and is reading this is likely very surprised at this point; I’m not known as a particular fan of Harley-Davidson. But this thing? It works on all levels for me. I’d happily ride the wheels off of it, assuming I could afford to build […]

My “artist’s statement” for the show
About the art and artist About me: I’m Aaron Spielman; welcome to my show. I’ve been a professional artist in some form for most of my adult life. My primary training was initially from my mother, a professional painter, various art teachers in grade school and at Cal State University Fresno and San Jose State […]
Mildly freaking out now.
I’ve had a very good weekend, saw old friends, met new ones (!), spent quality time with sweeties, took lots of photos. But I was too antsy to even watch the Giants game tonight. I’ve tried to calm down by playing video games, but that’s had limited success. I’ll be at the cafe at 8:00 a.m. […]
Lots of things, some related, some not…
Various things:
I’m at 99% done with show prep. I’ll finish on Thursday. This makes me happy. Other stuff, not so much…(read on if you want to; I talk about my health challenges, the death of a friend, and my reactions to those) Read More “Lots of things, some related, some not…”
Art show progress: almost finished!
I’m at about 95% done with the prep for the show. What’s left is: Finish pricing of all the pieces. Create wall cards for each piece, or whatever needs done for this – I’ll need to contact Borderlands for this and find out what’s acceptable. Get the show postcards out to whoever is willing to […]
So, yeah, this is the kind of thing that happens when one is too vain to get one’s hair cut…
At Cindy’s place last night, Jack the kitten decided that said hair was just the thing to play with… Read More “So, yeah, this is the kind of thing that happens when one is too vain to get one’s hair cut…”
Art process: show advertising & progress
Last night, I created an advertising “postcard” for the show; these are for leaving with businesses that allow it and whatnot. I’ll have these printed up today. I also have about half of the pieces for the show ready to hang. I’m pleased with my progress so far.
Art process: show stuff.
I’ve just finished going through my portfolio, selecting the pieces I want to actually hang. I have forty-nine, and will likely complete at least two more pieces before hanging the show. I am going to need to buy a bunch of frames and a bunch of clear “matt-hangers” (I misremember what they are actually called). I will […]
Oh my stars and garters! I’m having a show. A solo show of my work.
It’s unprecedented, for me. This will be the first solo show I’ve ever done. I’m very excited. My history with the retail art world has not been good. In fact, I’d pretty much given up hope that I’d ever be able to show my stuff on anything bigger scale than my house and this rather […]
