"A Brief Word Concerning Publicity & Publishing"
Introspective by nature, but conversely forced
at times to become self-promoting is an unpleasant and uncomfortable
dichotomy for the artist. The work speaks for itself. However, besides
painting a pretty picture and serving human interest, publicity can
opt as the timely documentation of a career. A form of credentials if
you will. A recognition needed and appreciated in the artist is essential
to understand that he has a long history in the graphic carving of glass
and crystal.
The complete long story of a life is at times passed by for various
reasons, sometimes certain details are unpleasant, too technical, or
just plain boring.
Choosing to overcome these difficulties with a "Spectacular Pictorial"
of a career more than four decades long, with tales of enlightening
value and amusement, the possibility is kept open for something of book
form in the future. Yet, on the other hand, in looking and giving up
looking for an appropriate publisher, the artist has turned down enough
offers of dubious merit to concede a book may never go to print unless
by unorthodox approach. This remains to be seen...hence this website.
Please stay tuned.
