esart: not only is mjp a lucky man, he's a very lucky man. And you have a great eye. I suppose you are lucky too, but you remind me of my wife and what she has to put up with. ;)

Art is so damn subjective; I really like what you've posted, but I don't love it. But it's very good in it's own way. It doesn't matter what category it fits into, if y'all like it.

father you have the magic touch.

Wondering... does Buk declare himself an Outsider on the cover of 'Living on Luck'?


hummmm


he calls himself an Outsider...

I like this one because I sell used trailers like that for people to live in. We just had a customer about two months ago that looks like that guy laid out by the trailer. Only difference is our guy was never without a cold beer. He writes his own doom in another sky.

 

[Carterofmars]

BTW beautiful collection esart.

Pigeonholing art is pointless anyway. Pigeons don't have any taste.

And they have tiny little holes.

Actually no. He is referencing this:

Outsider writer = one thing
Outsider artist = a completely different thing
Debating what is "outsider art" = priceless!




Wait, I misspelled pointless. ;)

 

[Gerard K H Love]

Best point yet. I know it made me laugh.:D

 

[Father Luke]

For everything thing else there's Outsider Card . . .

 

[Carterofmars]

love it! :d :d :d

 

[Gerard K H Love]

The Outsider Card, everything goes into collection and no one can be traced.

It would have to be tied to a savings account balance.

I like those joe. Remind me of the artwork from an old British childrens' cartoon series, Mr Benn, drawn by David McKee.

You can't beat a bit of nostalgia on a Sunday.

Art is art, if you like it, you like it and everything is groovy. Buy art, it will make you feel good!

But...

When you're identifying yourself as an outsider artist on your blogger site, honey, you ain't an outsider artist.

Period.

 

[Carterofmars]

I wonder why that's so definitive? MJP your quick to close the door. You mean to say that if say a Tiger Woods called himself a golfer than he ain't one period? If george Bush called himself a president then he ain't one period? (I couldn't resist that one..lol)


If one writes can they not call themselves a writer?


Really don't understand why an artist is any different. ;)

That show looks ok, but the 70's kids shows I liked were way cooler.

btw: anyone recognize this slick guy?


Check it out!

As it applies to art, the term "outsider" is very definitive. The point I was trying to make was that a real outsider does not have a blogger account. Or email. Or a computer. And they would not call themselves, "Outsider/visionary in the truest sense of the word." They wouldn't know what the hell that means, and they don't have any use for our definitions anyway.

Otherwise, sure, anyone can call themselves anything. I can call myself King Of All Former British Colonies. That doesn't make it true.

Honestly, I don't think Buk's paintings are exactly the same vital source material that his poems are and neither did he. OUTSIDER ? FOLK ?

If there is an afterlife, I'd say that Buk is having a good laugh at our obsession with his visual art. :>)

Big time.

A big beer belly bouncing laugh.
