That's too bad that he missed out on getting to know you and getting some of your money.<BR/><BR/>I have a big show coming up in two weeks and your post is good information about how I need to be acting.

I bet if he knew about it, he'd work to correct the situation. The saddest thing about being an artist is that they have to be a businessman in order to make a living from it. Unfortunately, many artists are really poor businessmen. He may not have realized what was happening. If you really like his art, and admire him as an artist, I'd give him another chance.<BR/><BR/>If, on the other hand, you find the guy really is an ***hole, then by all means write him off and look for someone else to patronize.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18073044.post-40977279345152432432007-02-22T18:20:00.000-08:002007-02-22T18:20:00.000-08:00D- I can understand how you were feeling when the ...D- I can understand how you were feeling when the guy seeming so dismissive of you. Me, I'd admire the guy's work but wouldn't add one cent of my hard earned money to his bank account and fame. I don't know, when some of "us" get around white folks, we want to ignore one another, be dismissive. Why? I mean, it is pretty dumb for any artist be disrepectful to any potential buyer. He could have easily and politely excused himself from those women to take time with you.BronzeBuckaroohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12536210616142873792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18073044.post-3079334388215515812007-02-21T16:11:00.000-08:002007-02-21T16:11:00.000-08:00glad to hear you also collect Blackshear :))glad to hear you also collect Blackshear :))Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18073044.post-87435641888684860942007-02-20T17:02:00.000-08:002007-02-20T17:02:00.000-08:00I have a couple of Thomas Blackshear's work as wel...I have a couple of Thomas Blackshear's work as well.
