Hardly Surviving Artist(s)…

The best about blogging is easiness of writing and posting.

Everything that’s in my mind that I think should be important to notice I can easily post it.

Modern world is world of contrasts, at one side we have problems with weight, at the other side we have hungry people. Someone will buy a cart that is worth as a completely equipped house at the other side we have people living in a carton box,…

Then my favorite… Donations!
Ok you have some extra money, and you want to share it with world, or you with someone will say “you are so noble”, what will you do. The answer is correct you will make donations!

BRAAAVOOO! You will give US$ 10.000.000 to some organization to fight cancer, aids,… that is very nice

But, if you give 10M, someone else 15M,………..
What do you think will they find ever that cure=NO.

Q: Why not?

A: Search is better than discovery (better funds)
… and if you find that real cure for some diseases a lot of people will stay without US$ 100.000/year salary!

Situation is the same wit eco and cheap fuel.

Let’s back to art…

Last week here in my hometown was a charity auctions of artworks for Safe Children house. 800 invitations was sent! Was it successful? NO Why? No one has appeared (800 invitations!)

There is no benefit from safe house, buying art,…

In past artists has patrons, sponsors, and they could live, create, paint and live proper like artists. These days we have auctions with millions of dollars for masterpieces of death artists. Imagine for example musicians, what if popular would be only classics, and music of death composers and performers and only several contemporary!?! …Or actors?! … or what if I die… and nothing no benefit even form my grandchildren?!
I can only hope and pray that my grand grand children will have some benefit from my art and artworks.

What if, or what would I do with some extra $?

Rearrange my house, make some extra space for painting,… or go to some island first, on a whole month vacation, then rearrange,…:)

If you have some suggestions, how to profit now instead of in 2118, please comment or send me a mail!

Support for the Creativity…

Support for the Creativity… or how to be more creative?

When I have fall down of creativity, or when my wife thinks my creativity needs support, here is what she’s preparing for launch.
She claims that’s some recipe from Sardegna!?!

Anyway… art is all around us. Isn’t it?

Why am I news presenter?

Yes besides everything I do, I read news. Yes, I’m presenter at the regional TV station Panonija here in my hometown Novi Sad Why?

I’m constantly working on myself, on improvements, to achieve better artistic technique, or to try to catch happiness in life.

To be news presenter good look and voice are not enough! You need something more to be completely here in that single moment. That’s easy someone would say, but it’s not! You are almost never here, in your mind you are usually somewhere out there, with your family, ideas, problems, hopes,… Everyone should learn how to clear mind, how to be completely here. Only than you will be in the possibility to work with 100%, to finish it, and to proceed further Some of the philosophy schools are teaching us that to be present now, here, at the moment is the key, or one of them. If I say don’t think about the elephant, what’s in your mind… elephant Clean your mind, clean your self, and at the end try to catch that tiny moment between breath in and breath out! That will be then only the beginning.

Just spread your wings, and fly

Web Design, Why?

I had this great idea, to live where I live, in Serbia, to work what I love and like-to paint, and to provide my living by selling my works of art. How to manage that? I’ve decided to make my personal page, at the space provided by my internet provider (3MB), and after few months, and sleepless nights, my first website was ready. I was ready to go internationally. I can remember, that night when I have uploaded my first website my girlfriend and I have opened bottle of wine and cheer…

That was the beginning…

Did I sell anything via that site? … NO

… but thanks to this site I have begun to make websites for my friends.

This first website was great beginning, for some new opportunities in life, great introduction in capabilities of internet…

I have made my second website www.topalski.com, and this site was, and still is… great project, totally hand made, without any base (sql), but still have more than 360 html pages, 314 artworks, and real links about 800! But… when I count links at the side-bar (member off,…) it has more than 20.000 links!!! First page at the moment has google page rank 4! For some art related searches it is listed at the top of major search engines!

I design websites, because it gives me freedom, like painting, freedom of artistic creation, freedom to play, freedom to explore.

Currently I’m working on this blog, main conte website (www.conteart.com) and on some websites for my frinds.

Oh yeah, not to forget, when I make some website for my friends, after that, they share with me they money friends

I you wish, we could share and be friends!
