A short note before bed, and grateful to now be in Atlanta –

?

This coming SUNDAY, 02/24/08, will be the celebration of Jon’s life.

?

As mentioned before, it will be in Hiawassee and environs.

?

Though we don’t have all the details, preliminary information indicates that it will potentially have three (3) parts:? 1) a mid-morning gathering where folks can congregate; 2) a service at the local Baptist church - rumor is that it will be around 1pm, but don’t quote me on this just yet; and, 3) a covered-dish/pot luck at a nearby place right after.

?

I’m sorry I don’t have more information now, but wanted to get this note out, before bed, so people can hold the date.

?

We will continue to keep everyone posted through this venue, as we are notified of the specific plans.?

?

Please encourage as many as possible who are interested in news going-forward to ensure they’re connected with http://www.lotsahelpinghands.com/c/14185/ .

?

Also, for our “offline” friends, we also ask that you pick up the phone and make sure they’re aware, too.? Oversharing of information, given the short timeframe, is probably OK.

?

Please continue to hold Alycen, Dewey, Jeff and their families in Loving Light, knowing that Jon is smiling down on us and looking forward to our “party” with him.?

Dear ones, I know it seems like an eternity since the last communication.

?

As you can imagine, Alycen, Jeff and Dewey have been exhausted from their bedside vigil.

?

I just was able to connect and speak with Alycen.

?

After the last, most recent message went out, though the doctors thought, based on Jon’s strong constitution, that he might last as long as till this morning, he actually passed quite close - if not at the exact time - of last night’s full lunar eclipse, shortly after 10 o’clock.?

?

What an incredible confluence of events.

?

I want to thank and express gratitude, along with Alycen, Jeff and Dewey, to those two electronic angels, Susan and Barb, for being the conduits of communication within North Georgia/Western North Carolina - and knowing that their communications went far beyond that. I am so grateful to you for extending the reach of the LotsaHelpingHands e-list.

?

Though it is still under development, a celebration of life, destined to take place in North Georgia, will be finalised in the next day or so. ?

?

I am also so happy, based on what I’ve reviewed, that an informal sharing and gathering will take place in the mountains this evening.? Know that Jon loved those mountains - and the people there.

?

We will continue to keep everyone posted through this venue, as plans develop. ?

?

Please encourage as many as possible who are interested in news going-forward to ensure they’re connected with http://www.lotsahelpinghands.com/c/14185/ .

?

Please continue to hold Alycen, Dewey, Jeff and their families in Loving Light, knowing that Jon is now watching over them, and all of us.?

We’re in the middle of the Winter madness with over 30 shows closing each month through March. I wonder how many artists are applying to more shows now with digital applications being so much easier than preparing slides and checks and running to the post office each time a deadline approaches.Tips from a La Quinta juror. http://cts.vresp.com/c/?LarryBerman/89d0c293e8/0ec6dff754/9433ab2960Another in my continuing series of interviews with jurors. I was fortunate to be able to speak to a Juror from La Quinta. It’s interesting to read about how the jurors juried only one category, at home, and are given three days to complete their scoring. Could this be the future of ZAPP?Juried Art Services new image requirement wordingNothing to worry about. Though they raised the upper limit (to 2000pixels) of what size can be submitted, they are going to continue accepting images prepared at 1400 pixels long dimension as they’ve been accepting for the past few years. The wording has been simplified at my request. “Select an image file: JPG Files Only (.jpg or .jpeg). Images should be between 1400 pixels and 2000 pixels longest dimension at 300PPI (pixels per inch). 1920×1920 pixel images are also acceptable.” When previewing your image choices on a Juried Art Services application, make sure to pay attention to the position of the images on the preview screen. I started an application for Sausalito to do screen captures for my web site and noticed that it’s two over two with the booth image on a separate page: http://cts.vresp.com/c/?LarryBerman/89d0c293e8/0ec6dff754/8708a691ebDoes your booth slide look like it works with your individual art images. From an artist who observed the Broad Ripple jury: During the Photography category there was a good deal of confusion because one applicant had submitted three black and white landscape photos and a booth image with European color photos. In the initial run through, the staff even flipped around to another booth shot that seemed to “fit”. But when they did the second round where they actually scored, they realized the color booth went with the black and white landscapes. Something to keep in mind: make sure your booth image fits with your submitted artwork!Shows posting images of accepted artistsTo add to the list I previously sent out, Coconut Grove includes one image for each artist: http://cts.vresp.com/c/?LarryBerman/89d0c293e8/0ec6dff754/2b8d6a57d2On a (not so) humorous note. The Corn Hill show juries by holding the slide sleeve up to the light. They even specify that slides in frosted vinyl sleeves may not be juried. Maybe things aren’t so bad for the artists on ZAPP… ?

Not sure if you read this article yet in the Wall Street journal, but here’s the link.? It’s about artist Ross Brodar who sells his art out of a truck, just outside the Outsider Art Fair every year.? He lives in Brooklyn, so maybe I will meet him someday.
