The Final Night Of Preparation
Tonight is the last night of working in the studio for this exhibition. Tomorrow I load up the panel van and drive everything to the gallery. Once again, I survived the multitude of battles that take place in the studio of the artist. I plan to write more thoughts on that subject at a later date. For now, it’s showtime. Finally.

Brett Callero: The Edge Of Convergence
The publicity materials exist – so this thing must really be happening.
The Edge Of Convergence, my first solo exhibition in a long time (far too long) is finally here. This exhibition is the culmination of a huge series of mixed media paintings I started many years ago.

Art Studio = Battlefield
The artist is a brave soul. Creativity can give you whiplash. Making art is a constant battle with yourself.
After feeling like the nail all weekend, I found inspiration within one minute of work and suddenly I felt like the hammer again.

An Ode To The Megacorporation
It took exactly a month to get internet service in my new home. It’s tough dealing with large corporations that do not have enough competition to keep them in line in regard to service and reasonable expectations. I’m looking at you Comcast! I’m also looking at you DirectTV and AT&T!
I’ve exhausted all I can say or write about it. What remains to explain my feelings is this amazing song “The Man Don’t Give A Fuck” from an amazing band Super Furry Animals. I think it says what needed to be said so very well.
