Halloween and the chicken Fence

 

stacked pumpkins, ..>>>>>>>ebay link

So , its past the chicken fence sale,  one think i noticed is how my art stuff is revolved around dates

the whole method of m production is around the 13th and Halloween, i was telling folks here 

about what kind of paintings i was hanging on the fences its about the fence the look of it

the history of it, ,

here is a video about me preping for the sale, and Red leaving messages about what i do,.

So there are going to be like six paintings ia m going to put up there this week 10 day auction

then on to the 13th which will only have  3 paintings up, this time and a master BBQ vid called

Tex's downer cow styled Ribbs an Chicken BBQ" its gonna be good !

 

So i sold about four paintings and six wooden chicken heads ill do it again next year and add more to the fence  which i am trying to stay focused on, ,

one of the side notes to this sale was having this lady show up and ask me how much for a painting i said 60 buck she thought it was awfully high  and  wondered why if i am so famous am i selling on the lawn, of my house, i didnt want to go off on it,  but the more i told her about this and that, she just looked a me like i was just lieing through my teeth and said she said "here ill take this one " a chicken painting,  like i pulled on over on her,.    basicly i shouldnt being drinking coffee, it make me ramble

The Carry over, vid, Auction Slots

Sold the first one of these, i  really like these pieces, alot of the times before i fall to sleep i think in these bars of abstracts,?

new slot machine work,

Well this is i guess some of my new slot machine work, its sorta based on the uncle sams coin banks
i started buying them off ebay these toy banks, only red beet up ones , thought they would make a good display, of some sorts, .
auction here , if anything i am building up for a massive display with these works, posting is a good lure to get me rolling.

"Zero the hero"  this one is similar to the coin banks red ones,  you know when it comes down to  it
alot of my abstracts the gravity of them seem to want to go to these like color bars,  like a machine , 
i think some where way back when i smoked i would have these types of visions  and they sorta hypnotized me , i think they are creeping back in  like slot machine trickery,

Reds new conflict, Tex Crawfish Fued

Yeap , i wanted to jump in bad on this one , but it seems Red is real serious about all this. There are three video that explain it (by Red) this one is the last,. , About a year ago my mind about exploded watching this one video, that popped up called "the outsiders" basically a promo or trailer for a reality based TV show featuring Sam-Kip-Eric these popular festival to folk artists around Georgia. This video because it evoked the long tortured word of folk/outsider  raises the bar on what a southern folk artist might be?,an outcast? poor? eccentric?,the whole Blues suffrage deal, thats a a start, but what we get is this singsong, quirky bad crafters, halmark like,"bad art" (maybe) zone more in tune with music festival art  like fan art?. but , .. ok so what! , whats the big deal ? who cares its made for a Lifetime channel plug its suppose to be "Feel good art entertainment"., well for me i tried to explain it in a set of videos called "outside the craft"  which dug deep to figure out why this was so profoundly alarming, and the trouble this video (the outsider) promo trailer ,might have or get into., One was if they think people are going to sympathize and feel for the artist's  daily lives they will, but! there is something far more dubiously funny at hand that i had a gut feeling about. It the "honey booboo " syndrome in which they are going to be made fun of, for being pathetic, pityful, silly, carefree (evoking all these folk art sterotypes) as such. . for some reason i harken back of that song "Shiny happy people"thats am Athens folk art song!. I don't know what the hell you call it by, or  why i would have such  issues with it there has to be a term i am missing  about why i want to vomit so much about this kind of art! how to stop myself from obsessing over this level of sillyness children's kitch might have  but made by hairy old hippy guys who just found out they want to be an artist,,. help me out folks.!, Well this video Red made basically is the summery of what he feels about it. i warned him years ago don't do it, don't address this , "its like your in happy town and your mister Grinch here, it will take you down boy!" One of the prophetic notes to that Outsiders vid promo  revealed was this bearded joker fellow  called "Tex", this Georgia folk artist who you got to observe his art  works in his both that he was standing in at some fair. I noticed two things in it right off . two of Red inspired works and some of Chubbs, obviously he was a fan of their work. So i pointed it out to Red, "now this chap right there has it in him".  Me and Red see things differently,  If i put myself in his shoes , and if i was in an exhibit , group and i found a dude or dudete basically  making stylistic copys of my work ,hanging in the very show i was in, i would buy this guy a beer and invite him over and train them right,  because i own their soul or, they look up to me and who would be stupid enough to put a copy of a painting i did in a group show, if not as a parody, or if serious then they have some maturing to do  basically.  but none the less its their bad, they will own it down the line. (Red worrys people wont figure that part out) like i told Red never do an in the "in the manor of" .. or stylistic copy  unless you want to live it down!, you better love it cause it tells of the pathway to the  center of what one does as an artist maybe its something to out grow?.
Me and Red like Frances Bacon, i don't mind living down my inspired look a likes of him,  actually i am proud of that cause i love Bacon,. 

my 1992 homage to the passing of F.Bacon, there is a whole mess of these paintings made 90-93, ahhhk!

 

I have written about crafterism why its  not art with a capitol A in it, its flee market stuff Etzy stuff created to meet a market., That when for some fucked up reason a "crafter" does manage to make Art out of it, there is always something more to the story.  i told  Red many times over that you cannt be hanging out in cat house lecturing people on what real love is,  while getting fucked, but then again if you like sex ...you get paid or not it dont mater.
same thing goes with art, Crafterism is trinket stuff,   

by Sam G, now i cannt hate a guy at all for makeing this kinda painting, bravo!

So I guess a bigger question is why are we so invested in some grown up, hairy, fat guy who would be makeing  cartoon kitty cats(or whatever) paintings to sell to funky old ladys with to much pazaz on there hands at a craft fair so important??? maybe we are the assholes here for careing?lol . I always saw this  as art drama, things that have a soap opera history to it, but  this is the wacked out world of crafter to folk art to bad art to this net crap to the storys and sagas that go along with it, the "downer cow" is a prime example.  Just think some 25 years from now  if any of this work survives  and is hanging on the wall of a trailer in Alabama or in an antique store maul some old  picker lady will be telling the twisted and angry stories of the souths most pissed off artists, and why they fought to unfuck themselves from sentimentalism and hippyism and crafterism that beset their paranoid soul of being carpetbagged.
a Battle that sounds more like a denial than that of matter of taste. 

So as the folk dual between me and Red   sorta trails off  its had its moments of comedy but its a joke that is told over and over plus just how nasty stupid and debasing of our art do we  really want to be about it, ebay is dead and the script might have to move on to something else at least for me.
check out the video, it might be Reds last.

two Black Roosters, fenceline painting read more Rebuilding the chicken Fence

 

For those of you who don't know i have a house in San Marcos Texas, with these Rooster heads

on this fence it was made in 2000 its been up a while , well the street is being widened and i am losing about 5 feet off the front which means the fence is being moved back

so, i am trying to raise some funds to rebuild it, so....

 

oil on canvas , made out in 2010 , Redford Texas, when i had a studio, ts framed

asking $225, free shipping,

who ever wants it email me gzupp@hotmail.com

 the moving of the street around here , is crazy its hot and dusty the whole fence is messed up

the money will go to klitz and alot of cedar pickets plus all the extras to rebuild the fence

folk dual over??? Red Mud vs Chicken G

Well folks this is less about auctions but more about this artistic relationship i have had with Red Mud Chandler over the years  , he wants to be done with it kaput finished move on out of folk, and
sense ebay is sucking ass , which has been like that for how long? , the hay day of ebay was about maybe seven years ago for me, but things do move from time to time.

the hay day is over basiclly , on to something else, well at least for him, i think its just a good habit i like , like some addiction, of posting and blogging , i actually don't know where i would be, , my CDC site, or Chickendeadchicken.com is there but frozen up with old software,
Red has been many topic entrys and folk dual has been a big subject, .  so he has a painting up
which is an uncanny summery of the folk dual here, auction

So , i always thought  folk dual will go on forever , until the net crashes  or we grow up, one thing about post work here its like fishing, with current topics, there is so much fucked up shit on the net it writes itself , or paints itself, . i always saw it like painter journalism and drama satire to a degree.  but its been like 10 years, 2004 was the start of all this, i ask myself has this fucked up my art production hummm, what is it? one thing i do know i don't know many other other than Red who keeps posting,  or can keep up with it.
ahhh
the show will go on.

Texas hot tube & Hog Head BBQ with jolly chimps

I am on a roll folks!,  you see this i how it works and why i hate and love the auction deal, its like feeding a wood chipper, you cut down more you feed the machine, (but the machine needs some gass) what i like to do is get a beer buzz and walk out there and sketch out 3-4 painting in markers on wood, for the moment i think they are great, and well its like a promise to make the painting its endless, literally.  like a painting like this its the many  versions based on the same idea, or pictorial look i like,. maybe i am just playing with symbols.
here is the auction link,--Two jolly chimps get drunk and eat a hog head

this painting , was almost destroyed, was going to be part of the 13th sale deal but got scrapped, its based on that "outsider" art video promo with Sam Kip and Eric,  that video is art , well there is a 
line in the video where Eric L said i bet the Devil lives in Texas, with a hot tub ,. so i made a painting of them three in there, but now i transformed them into tranny women i guess,. It amazingly looks good as a found piece of f-up art?

made like the Cann Hamms  type of work. this piece was made and put into a show back in 2013,. there was four more like this,. here is the auction link,. I hate to sell these kinda works its like selling a part of my memory , not that i was a peeping tom but, the story of that piece the title "do you want to see my swau,?"  or pussy is based on a crazy night about two years ago . I was over at my friends house she had a friend/foe girlfreind who wanted to get back at her and she told me "if this woman shows up over here and starts drinking she is going to try an seduce you because i am dating her exeboyfreind, ,  i am serious,." she showed up and after the formalitys we started chatting, and we started drinking and smoking , which i don't do , well smoking that is, i was getting tired and started freaking out, my freind the evil person that she is, was telling me " go ahead and tap some of that i don't care, she will do it, " So they put in those stupid ass videos of mine youtube crap bio v logging and i sat there  blitzed trying to crawl to the tv to shut it off,!.they were dancing around laughing, I made a dvd of the best of the vids , its bad enough i was freaking out  now to listen to me act like some moron,  on the net, WTF have i done is this real? , no it is!,(that kinda hyperreflection) so her  friend  decided to  get me over to the couch and lay me down cause i was hyperventaliting and over heating, heart was pounding out of my chest,. then she sat on my stomach and started asking me quietly" so my friend couldnt hear do you want to see my Swaauu?" pulling her shorts back  and showing me it,. i was like WTF,.  horned out , she was hot! by the way 34, ahhhhhk ===
