You were my favourite :) <br />Love your work!<br />As a woman (girl?) I feel like I relate to some of your themes. I try to pretend that I don't care about all that stuff a lot but in the end I know that I do that I'm like, Fuck, they've got me too!!! (but I never let others know ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29781686.post-43531206019101894462009-05-05T14:43:00.000-07:002009-05-05T14:43:00.000-07:00Hi Martha, I really like your work and hope that this interests you.<br /><br />I am attempting to amass a large collection of portraits of Frankenstein's Monster in as many different styles and in as many different media as possible as an ongoing art project. The only stipulation is that the size is 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches (standard artist trading card size) and that each card has name, date, title and anything else you care to add on the back.<br /><br />I welcome cards from both amateur and professional artists.<br /><br />I will be leaving blank cards with instructions and mailing address in galleries, colleges, art shops, on buses, handing them out in the street and wherever else I can think of.<br /><br />If you think you can spare the time to produce a little something, please send a portrait to:<br /><br />A Patchwork Of Flesh<br />45 Silversea Drive<br />Westcliff on Sea<br />Essex<br />SS0 9XD<br />United Kingdom<br /><br />Each card I receive will be uploaded at http://apatchworkofflesh.blogspot.com/ to produce an on-line gallery, I then hope to put on an exhibition of these cards in a gallery.Coophttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12288042025967274419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29781686.post-59537112653575622232009-04-27T09:55:00.000-07:002009-04-27T09:55:00.000-07:00Hiya,<br /><br />I absolutely love all your work, but especially this painting.

I think that post way back was more about how I was letting other people make me feel bad about being an illustrator not that I felt crappy about working commercially. It was more about how I didn't like that elitism. I love doing commercial art and I love doing gallery art! I am not trying to hide it. But these days it is funny how many of the people who poo poo'd illustration have asked me advice on getting commercial work. It is really so dumb and high schoolish. You know? Who cares what you call yourself? Just make art.Martha Richhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10128771916485110308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29781686.post-38247189980457881662009-04-26T21:06:00.000-07:002009-04-26T21:06:00.000-07:00Hi Martha, I went through your blog all the way back to day one. I wanted to comment on an old one that was about you feeling crappy about working commercially. Do you think differently about the title "illustrator" now? I know some of the people I am around frequently are really trying to hide their illustrator past as much as they can. I feel like that decision keeps the door between illustrator and artist closed. If you take away the meaning, doesn't "illustrator" sound so much more sophisticated than "artist"?The Goochhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07995911059876850811noreply@blogger.com
