Very aware.

I am very aware of the fact that I had expressed the intention to put up some posts on my friends….. and seeing as I haven’t, it may appear that I am a liar…. or that I just don’t have any friends.

I’m comforted knowing that no one has held me accountable to my blog writing failures. I chalk it up to the fact that no one is actually reading this…. not that I don’t have any friends….. I do. They’re just really busy doing other things. A lot of other REALLY awesome things.

I’ll tell you about them one day.

Not much of a blogger.

I’m not much of a blogger.

I know this only because I read a few blogs….. and from what I’ve gathered, there are a couple keys to blogging well:

a. Have something to write about.

2. Write

….. and it seems the latter more important than the former.

So…. As things around here haven’t been too interesting, filling this blog with stories of my wild (!) life as an artist (?), may end up being both sourly disappointing for the reader and arduous for myself, I thought I’d make better use of my time here to share with you a bunch of my friends.

My friends are generally harder working than me, and have more to share too…. so the ‘things to write about’ should take care of themselves.

As for the second part….

I already told you, I’m not much of a blogger, so it shouldn’t be any surprise that I’ll be starting to ‘write’ another time.

Stay tuned.

Back in July I had a show at The Gallery in Calgary. My good friend, Ian Schwaier helped me spread the word by putting together this video.

The Gallery has been a good friend to me (aswell, the Calgary art scene) since they first let me show work there in 2008.

Leading up to my 2009 show there, Ramin Eshraghi-Yazdi of Nur Films somehow took my cranky only hours before the show self, and turned it into promo gold. Thanks Ramin.

Derek Weisberg

Derek has been a friend and an inspiration for several years now.

I could say a bunch of stuff about Derek and his art….. but this video is probably a better introduction.

…and when you’re done with that, check out his website here.

A business with no sign…..

… Is a sign of no business.

Espo = serious business.

A good virus?

There are a lot of videos that get passed around the internerd, and if this one is indeed viral, then I think it’s a good virus to catch.

They Promised.

While I think of what to do next, I’ve been listening to the new Fellowship album.

Freestyle Fellowship promised back in ’91 to never fall the #@$! off…. and twenty years later, here they are. Promise kept.

I aspire to have a legacy like theirs, optimistically unending and overflowing with creativity.

So….

Darski — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 20:27:18 +0000

Alrighty…. So the site is up… but I still have a bunch of stuff to track down and add…. and I guess I could start blogging?

meh.

Blast Off!!

Darski — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 07:24:27 +0000

Well…. The site is finally back up… “New and Improved”

Probably still have some bugs to iron out as well as a bunch of additional content, so stay tuned.
