I believe in honesty. And sandwiches. But mostly honesty. Without it, people, for some reason or another, think you're hiding something. The nerve! But I'll tell you, the second you start telling the truth, people will respect you. No, scratch that. They'll hate you. Every part of you. With every part of themselves. But when they calm down, they'll realize with great joy that someone finally cut right through the crap, irrevocably tweaking their nipples of curiosity.

I really have no idea what that means. I just liked the phrase "nipples of curiosity". But when you do tell the truth, people will listen and trust you. And that's what I'm going to do here. This site is dedicated to selling my art. I'm an abstract painter who would love to sell you some art. Many times. In fact, you don't even have to buy my art. Just give me money. That's fine too. But, if you'd like something for your money, my paintings will work just fine.

You'll notice many of my paintings in the archives of this blog. In order to actually get people to read it, I thought I'd add some sarcastic posts. This could completely backfire. For all I know I'm offending my vast readership (my mom) by changing the format. Previously I'd post my paintings as I'd complete them, a kind of virtual artistic journal. But now I've moved the business end of things to www.daveclark.etsy.com leaving this blog as a means for my personal grandstanding. Isn't that great?

What I plan to do: I promise to post something here once a week from now on. Unless I don't feel like it. This may include text, pictures, text with pictures or any combination of the three. You'll see updates on my current projects, upcoming appearances (Walmart grocery dept, hardware store, etc.) and thoughts on art/life.

You're welcome to leave comments. You're welcome not to leave comments. But please leave comments. You're my reason for living. That, and sandwiches.
