Welcome to
Juxtapositions the Taylespun Blog
For the last few years, friends and colleagues have asked
why I didn’t have a blog of some sort. I
have been an artist all of my life and have made it the driving force behind
all of my life decisions since 1982 when I left the U.S. Coast Guard and became
an art student. I spent nearly 25 years
working for an independent art supply store, where I learned and shared
information about art materials and techniques from hundreds, more likely
thousands of practicing artists, art supply manufactures and their
representatives. I have mentored,
taught and shared everything I could, without reservation to anyone who asked.
3 ½ years ago, I lost that job that had helped me to define
myself. I miss the interaction with
artists, hobbyists, and those who just mess around with their creativity. With this blog I hope to get some of that
back. I plan to share my experience and
my opinion with those who wish to spend some time here. I hope to inspire a few discussions and
answer some questions. I hope what I
have to say is meaningful and maybe important.
It is my anticipation to evolve
this blog into an e-zine of sorts as I travel the Southcoast area and beyond, visiting
galleries, artist studios, and even a few rock and roll shows.
I plan on linking to articles I respect, even those I may
disagree with. I hope to recreate the
community I left behind, make it something broader, more vivid, and
inspiring. I hope to find many followers
as I grow and discover a new path on this journey.
If you have suggestions or question, send them. You want to discuss, let it rip. Let’s have some fun and help each other grow
as artists, art lovers and friends.
