Some of you may have already surfed my website
www.Foamscape.com
I have totally neglected it for the past six or seven years. It's just been sitting there (I still pay eight bucks a month to keep it ad free). Anyway, out of the blue one day last week I get an email. Guy writes me and says I've been on his to-do list for like fricking ever and he's just getting around to it. Says he's very interested in my Soap Bubble Sculptures. We exchange a few emails and he winds up buying one. I shipped it this afternoon.
So now I is professional artist SRSLY
I sold a handful of those things back in the day, but this is the first work of art I sold to a total stranger.

Congratulations! Maybe we'll see one in a modern-art museum sometime.

Congratulations! My marketing professor once told me that the first sale that actually counts is the one you make to somebody who isn't already your friend or family, so there you go!

I can't wait until my first gallery showing. It will be VERY exclusive only Libertarian Party members in good standing will be invited! :)

Re: Warren - Soul of an artist, Now official
Aha! Your "FoamerAce" email address is now explained to my satisfaction; it's your art combined with a Red Dwarf reference!
I've wondered about it off and on for years, but always vaguely assumed I would find the explanation at least somewhat unpleasant. ;)

That's awesome Warren! Also, I pictured you as a bearded person for some reason, but alas I'm way off.
But, as Deepak Chopra taught us, quantum physics means anything can happen at any time for no reason! Also, eat plenty of oatmeal, and animals never had a war... who's the real animal?

Actually I've been sporting my own version of the Goatee since I turned 40. The pictures on my website are very old.

Re: Warren - Soul of an artist, Now official
I originally misread this as "I've been sporting my own version of the Goatse since I turned 40".

Somehow, your interpretation being true would not shock me, kwix. :-)

Congrats

Re: Warren - Soul of an artist, Now official
Congrats, Warren! Of course, now that you've sullied the purity of your fine art with the taking of filthy lucre, you've now degraded yourself to the level of a mere craftsman, whoring after gold.
Congrats, I say!

Re: Warren - Soul of an artist, Now official
I was way off too. I always pictured Warren as sort of Larry the Cable Guy's twin brother or something. Wow!
Congrats!

EDIT: deleted double post (which is also Warren's fault).
"love is like porn, you know" -- Ali
Re: Warren - Soul of an artist, Now official
You realize, of course, that all these mistaken ideas about his appearance are, in fact, Warren's fault.
(Congrats, Warren!)
"love is like porn, you know" -- Ali
Re: Warren - Soul of an artist, Now official
That double post is Warren's fault, too.
edit: DAR edited his post and made this post superfluous, which is also Warren's fault.
Re: Warren - Soul of an artist, Now official
I blame Warren for all of the of topic postings in this thread.

Re: Warren - Soul of an artist, Now official
Kwix's typos or, worse, shaky command of English? Yup, Warren's fault.

Re: Warren - Soul of an artist, Now official
I blame Warren for eye damage when looking at this without any warnings on the link to it.
This is a personal problem. There are very few personal problems that cannot be solved through a suitable use of high explosives. This is not one of those exceptions.
Re: Warren - Soul of an artist, Now official
I blame Warren for making is website in 1996.

Re: Warren - Soul of an artist, Now official
And yet it manages to look like it's been neglected for 10 or 11! Now *that* requires artistry.

All it needs is some complicated full color backgrounds that make it impossible to read the text, and some animated flames and spinning lights and a little guy jumping up and down for no particular reason.
(I'm talking style, not substance. But it did take me back to 1997.)

Re: Warren - Soul of an artist, Now official
I failed to properly fat finger the H. This is Warren's fault.
