art and thinking: November 2011
http://artandthinking.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 21, 2011. Postcard IV, 40 x 40, oil and graphite on polymered paper, © 2011 sioban lombardi. Yesterday I read an article that only reinforced my cultural and societal pessimism around contemporary culture. The article in the New York Times, A Career Provocateur. Flip back to 1974 and the artist’s work Rhythm 0. I so wish we were willing to extend our scope beyond the dubious talents of Lady Gaga and those parasitic Kardashian sisters. Conversations would be so much more interesting.

art and thinking: May 2012
http://artandthinking.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 28, 2012. Today is Memorial Day. Originally conceived to honor fallen Union soldiers after the Civil War, the holiday now honors all members of the U.S. Armed Forces who paid the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. In 2005 we went to France. Paris was the main goal as we had wanted to experience it together for a long time, but we decided to begin our trip in Normandy. I’m so glad we did. And to those that have served, thank you. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Active Blogs I Follow.

art and thinking: find your tribe
http://artandthinking.blogspot.com/2010/05/find-your-tribe.html
Sunday, May 16, 2010. It’s beneficial if the members of your tribe work in a like medium. Every material possesses a unique set of qualities and problems. Understanding these cuts down on demands that cannot be achieved within that particular medium. In addition, the members of your tribe should be as good or better than you. This raises your personal bar sand engenders better work. Your Tribe should take you somewhat. Seriously. I amplify somewhat. Balloon when it becomes too inflated. Sick of the Radio.

art and thinking: August 2011
http://artandthinking.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 10, 2011. Talent or curse, painting came to be an avocation I could no longer ignore in pursuit of more common material benefits. Believe me, I like material benefits. Any romantic. But I am enough of a realist to know that sales provide more freedom, greater opportunity, and a roomier platform for an artist. I have chosen to live with this path. What is the point of all of this babbling? I will not exhibit work at a venue that also sells earrings, Christmas ornaments (and I love Christ...

art and thinking: January 2012
http://artandthinking.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 12, 2012. The till is dry. Last Fall I again experienced the semi-vagabond life, having been granted two significant artist residencies. Thank you to both Oxbow and Ragdale for seven weeks and more fodder than I can possibly paint in the next several years. I am particularly focused on the work addressing truth and fiction in memory and nostalgia. Please submit materials, questions. and/or comments to artandthinking@gmail.com. I will then contact you to discuss the post. The Art Law Blog.
