Thank you for visiting the Public Flogging Art Page.
Lets jump right into some questions:
Q: Why Public Flogging?
A: A few years ago, I was driving into work and listening to a morning radio show. The “wacky host” was complaining about peoples general need to put everything out into the public. He called it a public flogging. I disliked the host but I liked the idea. I took the phrase and used it for the title for my page. I post art and art like projects here. Sometimes it’s my public flogging for art crimes.
Q: Do you work full time as an artist?
A: I don’t even like to tell people that I’m an artist.
I have worked professional as an artist. I have been published in a local paper as well as been part of a few gallery shows. I would say that I qualify as a professional artist.Art isn’t my only job though.
During the day I work in the computer industry. There’s an art to that as well though and I enjoy it very much.
Q: Do you do commission work?
A: Yes, but not currently.
Q: What kind of tools do you use?
A: Affordable ones.
– When working with Pen and Paper I usually use the generic art store brand “bristol” paper and Micron or Prisma color pens.– When wood working I have a “mixed bag” of tools I like to go into the store and physically touch the tools. I’m willing to buy the house brand if if feels like a solid tool. I usually work in pine but I have recently been buying hardwood scraps from the local Ace Hardware
– For photography I have the cheap Nikon and a handful of goodies that I don’t know nearly enough about.
