Totem Poles reference is a first. I agree.

Ok I’ll capture some of the process when I go. Hoping for some heavy winds to dry the wood out a bit.

@@robertcornelius3514 I have thought long and hard about pricing. I have sold Art for less in the past and I realize now I would rather give my Art away than sell it for less. Thank you for watching and your words.

@@scottoconnor Thanks Spalting is Art.

@@spikewillow4552 I meant to drop that comment under yours. Fellow Washingtonian if I remember correctly ? Thanks again for the encouraging words.

@@CedarWoodsman thank you

I agree, recently made an investment to learn how to make my own strange sounds. All a work in progress. Thanks for the support.

@ absolutely all part in growing your platform. I like the way you dance and play with the art giving it life and more character. Kudos!!! And I pray many success for you. Best of luck bestie!!!

Thank you, it's been a long journey to get these pieces to this point.

Around 30lbs. Exactly what I’ve been thinking. You’ll be seeing more of me in public with them weirding people out.

Thank you Bill. I am doing my best to be myself and not be sorry for it.

Thanks Scott. I plan on staying true to my style regardless of what may come…or may not. Im psyched on how most recent piece turned out. Tune in next Sunday to check it out. Thanks again.

Mhmmm how do I convince Seattle folk they must have “Fancy Hobo Art” ? ……..joking, but seriously.

@@ClayGlerumArt The erudite version of Basquiat would be George Condo. "Must Having" either a Condo or Basquiat is participating in the same dance. Buying a Basquiat says "X". Buying a Condo says "Y". IF "hobo-chic" is something that people seek to say about themselves, then there will be a demographic of "must saying/having". If it is imperative (not a trust fund kid) to live off of the sales of your work, you will need to unfortunately channel a "Z" You+Work+What does it say about the collector = MUST HAVE. Otherwise it's a widget.

@@Nashvillain10SE you have met the Dali’ Llama ?

@@ClayGlerumArt Ahh, I wish! I saw it on the gallery website. Very nice piece!

@@ClayGlerumArt Ahh, not in person. I saw it on the gallery website. Very nice piece!

@ thank you kindly.

@@shvetsgroup Rick from walking dead. Hilarious.

@@TheNightshadePrince you are right. Mostly joking. Just bringing awareness that the world seems to reward the heartless, but yes, who knows what kind of internal struggles the heartless are enduring.

@@why6212 thanks, that design is one of my favorites. Came together quick too.

@@why6212 I’ve shed my fair share of blood for this Art.

Not sure what your referring to when you say Wrong, when you are over the target ? The rest I hear you loud and clear and will take your advice. I like the idea of going back to that piece I like the most and using it as a base to start a new one. You just solved my issue as to what to work on next. As far as working on a face series we are on the same page and have been in that process. Will likely go back to others that I like as well and take different main characteristics. Yes take your self and your Art serious to an extent but I tread that line very carefully. Many folks in this world are taking themselves far too serious in my opinion.

@@ClayGlerumArt "over the target" as in if you are right over the target, release as many bombs as you've got. I'm not good at taking this advice myself. I'll have eight inquiries in a month concerning a particular series, but instead of just going in the studio and making more variations of that so that these inquiries would just be sales (as in "Oh..let me send you a catalog of all the pieces I currently have in that series"), I'm off designing a new system, materials, technique, etc. My wife on the other hand is great at rinse and repeat. But then she's ASD and can do the "same food" thing. Maybe there's a correlation. Me on the other hand with ADHD...I'm always jumping around. The seriousness can come in the two forms. 1) a well organized and presented studio and body of work that delivers and etc. 2) a self-reflective importance. The latter, no one wants. I will say that there's a particular faction of artists that know there's specific bs way of communicating that can somewhat hypnotize clients into taking their work more seriously than the work warrants. I just can't do that. It's too fake.

@ I’ve never been much of a salesman. I know I’m likely going to have to show up to an extent if I want this to work. Learn to pretend a bit, have a spiel maybe, atleast. Hoping to find a gallery owner that does that part for me. I just want to make the Art. Not sell it. I don’t mind discussing it on these videos. No edit button in real life though. I’m hoping discussing it on these videos helps loosen up the brain some when navigating earth.

@@ClayGlerumArt I feel you. I've even considered getting an agent for a particular hard to reach area. It's difficult enough to go in to some alter ego' art-talk guy on the sales side (client, collectors, promotions, etc). But to get representation there's the additional layer of selling yourself to the person that's going to sell you. If a person is just the right personality, their presence can be their best asset. But how does a person that hates the introductory/sales aspect not give off that very vibe? In that case, it's a hindrance. It might even be an "ick".

So your saying I shouldn’t just play the quiet mysterious Artist that lets the Art talk for him card. Pan left I’m standing in the furthest corner of the Art show wearing all black with mascara running down my face. 😁 I’m just going to continue to work on growing myself and my Art while holding onto exactly who I am at my core (because belief it or not I do actually like the deepest parts of myself ) mostly saying that to reassure myself….and if it works it works.

Yea. It was a hard pill to swallow. Finding a price that works for everyone has been tough. From what I’ve been hearing 50% is common. I thought it would be 60/40 at the most going in.

Pretty standard

Thank you. Yes, always create for you and what you want to see. One thing i learned over the past year is when I try to make what other people suggest or what I think people want. I don’t enjoy the process or the outcome. I must keep it weird.

Adding animatronics to this would be terrifying
