In "Performance of the Month" we feature stuff that is not intended to be art, but somehow is.

Hello I am a Christian man looking for Christian artist or humble respectful artist for a project I am working on. As of now it is no profit. I have a great idea with great potential. If we can get it going we all will get paid and have plenty of work. Please no druggies or alcoholics foul language users, smokers, arrogant, egotistical excuse making type. I prefer not to be involved with others like that.(im alone 90% of the time)
I am very humble, fair and trustworthy Christian man. This is not about money for me. I have made up my mind I want to do something. I have great Idea

I need artist that can get it right the 1st time and can draw/paint on a t shirt/shoes with a pen or fine paint pen or something.
graffiti writing, face sketching, cartoons, cars, flowers etcc..

We will all work together, no one by name will take the credit for anything. If you are bad at eyes and your teammate isn't, just ask him/her to do the eyes or something.
I know this will work, the hardest part is getting talented people that are humble and not greedy and selfish to come together and give this a try.
As I said this is non profit startup project with the potential to blow your mind.
Im currently looking for investors to help with a website. Investing could be giving your time to ask a friend that knows a friend that would want to join and help out to get it going. Investing isn't all about money all the time.
Its all about who you know that is not greedy. Id like to get this whole thing going without spending a penny. If all else fails ill just pay.

Anyway be serious and respectful. God fearing would be a super plus.

This only requires time, no major money out of your pockets. if you have paint pens already then thats great other than that ill try to provide whats needed. Unless you know someone that can help out until we get this thing on the road.

Be humble enough to walk away with nothing and a smile
at the same time be ready to experience a good time drawing making good money.
Will not require you to go anywhere but to the drawing board
This is non profit volunteer work to begin just asking one project per month, if things get to going good, you will have the chance to make plenty extra $$.
Do not quit your day job though.

Thanks for reading


Found on Craigslist. We kept all the spelling and formatting.

An interesting look at cultural capital and its relevance to artist identities:

"The question of who, exactly, is an artist — what that word means, who defines herself by it — has always been a tricky one. All sorts of surveys purport to the tell us the number of artists in the US, from the government census to independent initiatives, but the terms of the discussion have never been entirely clear. Are artists self-defined? Must they make money off their creative work (a certain amount)? What kinds of creative work count? Can you be a professional artist if you spend 30 hours a week doing something besides making art?

Each survey defines “artist” in its own way and then moves on with its results, but a new study in the journal Poetics takes up the root question itself: “Who is an artist? New data for an old question,” by sociologists Jennifer C. Lena and Danielle J. Lindemann. Lena and Lindemann look at data collected in the 2010 Strategic National Arts Alumni Project survey as a means of exploring the confusion over who or what constitutes an artist."
