January 21, 2008
below is my most recent post related to Art Beyond the Bubble! followed by the two previous posts
i had been only posting these on my artist statements pages but felt they'd have better exposure being updated on my blog pages
probably in future Art Beyond the Bubble! updates i'll only blog-post the most recent, and point to the statements page for the older posts
thanks!

i figured, with the stock and credit markets creaking and busting bolts at the seams, this was a good time to revisit my slogan, "art beyond the bubble!"
i have finally registered "Art Beyond the Bubble!" as a trademark (pending) with the PTO (U.S. Patent & Trademark Office)
also, i was commenting on mish's (mish's global economic trend analysis) financial website, and felt it was time i also posted these "beyond the bubble" thoughts on my blog pages; both for visibility (to be honest) and to keep me focussed and periodically re-examining my thinking on art and it's value
part of my comment on mish's site was a remembrance of something i'd often said back in the early 90's when i had a frame shop across from the univ of texas, and was so ignorant of financial trends i wasn't even aware there'd been a downturn; we'd always been poor and always just had to work hard
"when i had a frame shop years ago across from univ of texas here in austin, i'd tell people who were trying to decide on an image, "pick what you like, 'cause it won't cook for you, wash your clothes, or rub your back, so it better make you feel good to see it around."
i really did :-)
picking art because of what it did for you as a person was always the natural thing for me do
thanks ya'll,
adan
ps - as i have more news (it may take awhile) re my trademark appliation for Art Beyond the Bubble! I'll be sure and let ya'll know
2007, December 23 - Update 2
As we streak and creak our way across the holidays, I find myself discovering the strength of what was initially an intuitive impulse, to slogan my efforts with "Art Beyond the Bubble."
More and more, as I begin the long process of posting over a decades` worth of writings, and feel how they compliment my visual-work efforts, I`m gaining a greater sense of the kind of human endeavor that I feel constitutes being "beyond a bubble."
Certainly a striving for authenticity of word and image is part of it.
Touched on below intellectually and intuitively, in my initial October posting, I feel I am in the early stages of gaining an emotional understanding I hope will enrich my thoughts, and my images, on the question of what is of value, and what is in a bubble.
Re-visiting my own writings is a big part of this.
Thank you much,

2007, October: (Initial Posting)
I’m currently running a small online ad on a national housing blog, Doctor Housing Bubble.
Besides my name, I’ve placed the text “Art Beyond the Bubble” across the image. I wanted something someone going to a housing blog would probably relate to and wonder about enough to click on and go to my website.
To be clear, I am not and do not claim to be any type expert on housing, economics, the Fed, and all that. It’s interesting to follow, but beyond that I’m just another working guy wondering what it’s all about, stay healthy, and enjoy my years with family and friends.
But beyond enticing a potential housing-interested reader to my website, I also wanted to convey a certain truth about my art that really relates to bubbles in general, whether of a stock market, tulips, or even limited edition fine art prints – that I create my art for the art itself, for what it stirs in me as a person, not because of an expanding demand, artificial or real, temporary or long running. The work of art itself must create its own sense of long running reality, that it will or has a very good chance of enduring within my perceived world of value. I realistically can’t do much more than that. Or don’t know how :-)
Those who’ve read or will read my other Artist Statements, will find elaborations there and embedded within my Archive Reviews of Movies, Art, Events, Music, and Misc, and within my Archive Self Critiques.
Thank you much,
adan
