The sense of community is growing rapidly where ever the ArtisTTable is. Facebook http://on.fb.me/XCapNS is one of the more popular spots at the moment. So stop by chime in.
But what is great is that here we are on the 26th of February and we are launching our second online juried exhibition. Distant Horizons as you may have guessed is going to be a landscape show. Calls for Entries are going out to all artists and photographers.
Please take the time to read the prospectus and get all details and meet our first guest juror, Dutch artist, Roeli Rumscheidt. http://bit.ly/ZH2WUq
The submission deadline is coming right up on the 21st of March. We would love to see the world through your eyes. If you are an artist, submit, and if you know an artist, pass this information along.
We offer cash prizes and the entry fees are really modest. We are afterall artists and we know what it is like.
Come one, come all. The more the merrier.

Joe Esposito Interview
One of the real joys of the ArtisTTable for us is that in the short period of time that we have been doing it we have already met some truly wonderful people and artists. Joe Esposito is one of them. The moment we became aware of Joe and his work, we set out to find out more about this self-taught artist. We were thrilled when he agreed to do this interview.
It is hard to believe that we are nearly all the way through February 2013. We are looking forward with hope to this new year that is well underway. Joe's work is infused with so much of what we all could use a little more of these days. Especially as we are slogging through the deep dark days of another northern hemisphere mid-winter.

Why Visualization?
Watched a documentary tonight called Hungry for Change. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2323551/ It is a film about nutrition, and it was very interesting, in fact there is nothing to disagree with in it. But the artist in me took something extra away that made me feel better about what I do as a profession.
One of the keys to weight loss is changing your mind about what you want and how it is effecting your body and your well being. They talked about visualization and how it is the only way to speak to your mind and body and they way they work together. Visualize what you want and your body will understand and begin to the make the changes.
Why is it important to visualize? Because your body doesn't speak English, or whatever other spoken language you might speak.
Here is a very simple example, you can go to a country where they speak a different language than you and you can ask 1000 people where the bathroom is and they won't tell where one is, but if you draw a picture of a toilet, they will tell you immediately.
We have seen around the world that art is one way that feelings and emotions can be expressed in ways that cross barriers of culture and language.
This segment of this film really brought that home to me about how important it is that we create art and share it. Not only does it help us as artists to express ourselves as we create it, but those that see it are able to have an experience with it that they can share as well.
It is a great blessing and a responsibility to be an artist.

Community
The ArtisTTable is indeed a 'Community' of artists and art lovers. We have designed it such that you can remain in the online place that you feel most comfortable with. Many prefer LinkedIN or Twitter and our Google+ group, although most everyone seems to be finding us on Facebook. There are also many other places through out the internet that we have set up accounts and will be places that you can check in and see what is happening at the TTable.
Today we updated our Community page on the website. It has the links on that page where the ArtisTTable can be found. Several of those links will not have a lot going on with them until after our first opening on February 28. After that we will put images from the exhibition in those places.
You can see our Community page by clicking on this link, www.ArtisTTableOnline.com/community

Jackson Pollack Weekend.
Hey everybody.
Well another week has come and nearly went. We were waiting to see just what would shake down with today before we posted anything. The ArtisTTable moved along as expected, we have made a few new friends in distant lands such as Spain and Colombia.
Other than that Tali and I had a great Google Hangout with old friend and long time collaborator Benno Hübner. We are working on developing a new multi-media project that involves, painting, music, and dance. We had some interesting developments today for sure. Stay tuned and one day you may see a sample of some of the things we are working on.
We have had a little fun recently celebrating some of our favorite famous artists lately. We started with Paul Cézanne, and this week we did Édouard Manet, since tomorrow, January 26 is the birthday of Jackson Pollack we are going to be celebrating all weekend.
Online we celebrate about the only way we can. We post things. Please pick out your favorite Jackson Pollack painting and post it to our Facebook page at http://on.fb.me/XCapNS
We love art and we love artists that have influenced us so much.
Have a great weekend, and make some wonderful art.

#TTstudiopix Project
Do you ever have one of those days when you thought for the better part of the day that it was really the day before. Like today I spend all morning and maybe an hour past noon, before Tali set me straight that it was Thursday.
Really? I said. It isn't Wednesday? Oh my...
Today was a bit different than what I like to consider normal... (Note: Normal for the ArtisTTable may not relate to anything that anyone else might consider normal). But after muddling through several semi-related tasks, I said down at this computer again, and I was still having a hard time convincing myself it was Thursday.
Well all this is neither here nor there because the calendar does not lie.
We are in an interesting place here at the TTable. We have our selves organized and ready for our first exhibition. We are just having to seemingly sit around and wait for our February 14th deadline to come around. But that is not our reality. We have lots of things to do. Some of them are very mundane, and some of them are a lot more fun.
Today we launched a fun one. We started a project we call #TTstudiopix. We announced that all the artists should post photos of their studio on either Instagram or Twitter with the hashtag #TTstudiopix.
Artist's studios are special places. Some are big and some are small, some are tidy and others are a mess. Either way we love to see them because they are where the magic happens. The creative process is a marvelous thing so to get a little glimpse of that is a real treat.
So, snap a photo or two of where you work and post it to Instagram or Twitter. #TTstudiopix
Until nexTTime.

Getting the Word Out
The biggest task at hand here at the ArtisTTable is simply getting the word out about this first exhibition. The Call for Entries is out now for a full week now for the show Lets Get Acquainted!
The response has been good. But like we have been saying in moments like this, the more, the merrier. There are several reasons it is a good thing to have lots of submissions to a show like this. First the purpose of such an exhibition is to showcase a wide variety of styles and techniques. Secondly, the conversation only gets bigger and better when there is more to talk about and compare. Thirdly, we all love the idea of winning the prize, especially when it has some cash attached to it.
While we have built into our plan from the beginning that we would always have cash prizes whenever we had a competition, we really are just two artists self-funding this endeavor. We are not complaining, not at all, we would love to be able to give large sums of money as prizes, and we will always do that, but they prizes are really effected by the number of submissions.
So yeah, when we say, the more, the merrier, that is what we mean.
That said, in the spirit of getting the word out, today we produced a little down and dirty tutorial about How to Submit to an ArtisTTable Exhibition. We never did this before, so it might be a little rough, but it was still fun. So there should be no more concerns or questions about submitting, but if there are, you know you can always write to us. info@ArtisTTableOnline.com

Free Advertising
Sitting here with about 4 hours left on a little promotion we instituted about 3 hours ago... We were sitting at 170 Likes on our Facebook page, we didn't think that was too bad for just putting on a push for one day. We went from our own two likes to 170 in less than 24 hours... Not bad for two painters. We thought wouldn't it be nice if we had a nice round 200 Likes to start the day of with tomorrow...
Enter the contest.
We said if we get our 200 Likes which meant that we only needed 30 of them by midnight tonight. We would do a random drawing from those that made comments on our page since the start of the contest at 4:30pm. The name that got chosen at random would win free ad space on our website www.ArtisTTableOnline.com for one month.
Pretty cool huh?
Well, I have to say given the progress before my dinner break I was not so sure we were on track to get our 200 Likes, but as of 8:52pm EST we have 181 Likes. Can I be impressed? Well, I am.
Not too many people are leaving comments so the pool of people to make the random choice from could be rather small. But the important thing is that we get our Likes up there... and that we get to give away a free ad...
Even though the real fun has not even started with this ArtisTTable project. That will come when we have the opening of our first exhibition, Lets Get Acquainted!
So go give us a Like and leave a comment. You could get lucky and it will make our day.

We held our first Google+ Hangout as the ArtisTTable, and we kicked off officially the ArtisTTable Facebook page which went from zero to 152 likes in one day. Facebook is a good way to keep in touch with what we have going on. http://www.facebook.com/ArtisTTableOnline
Right now our big push is to let everyone know about the Call for Entries for our first exhibition titled Lets Get Acquainted! Please, it is a call out to all artists, go to www.ArtisTTableOnline.com/lgaprospectus. Feel free to share this with all of your artistic friends.
