Baer's Complete Reveal (NSFW), 11-18-2024
well things are still kinda cool!
If you are one the five paying attention to what I post as I post things you have been flooded with previously unmailed posts. Things were getting tight as I was exiting Patreon (censorship issues) and I was posting a lot everyday. At the time I did not have an opt out so my viewers would have been slammed with many posts a day. I thought that meant no one saw them but that is wrong. People cruising the website could have seen them and I would not have known. Eventually I gave people the option of 'Daily' or (latter) 'As they happen posts' and/or monthly summaries (SFW and NSFW). I at first called them No View Posts but changed the name to No Mail Posts for the tag. You are reading the NSFW monthly newsletter (Baers Complete Reveal) right now.
The format I settled on is 7 descriptive links per day of previously unmailed posts in a single post. It is more satisfying to view these emails on the computer because the images are omitted in some phones. Here is the master link to all these summary posts on site. I at first called them No View Posts but changed the name to No Mail Posts for the tag. Peruse at your pleasure for the date based posts inside each:
I have been juried into the Art Guild of the San Diego Museum of Art (also cost me $140- thank you for funding that). Here are the pieces I submitted:
Somebody's have been working hard in the Guild and at the Museum to take artists from ugly stepchild to acknowledged oldest support group of SDMA (there is a video). Ugly stepchild status happened about 20 years ago for reasons I don't know but it was not a good thing for the museum and the artists of the San Diego region. The problem was magnified for artists when SDAI transformed and died. For the first time in 20 years there is a Guild show in the San Diego Museum of Art (@MOPA) and it is gorgeous (much better in person). I was too late to enter the 2 shows going on involving Guild members right now but wow, it is so good to see this revival... in addition they are talking about reviving artgym as well (see Kevin Inman). Nothing on artgym until after the holidays...
Here is a link to a video on early artists in San Diego and their relationship to SDMA. Well worth watching... James Halfacre created the video:
I have potentially 3 pieces at OMA's gift shop to be sold for $40.oo each. Here is the picture of the display taken by Kayla that includes one of mine (in the lower center) Thank you Kayla for the photo and the chance to have my work on someones tree!
I have been working on pieces involving masturbation... It is an important sex positive theme but so far it escapes me and I do not have anything yet to share, even at the early stages...
I am working on more artcards, mounting underprints to make some more 5x5 pieces for OMA's fundraiser, The Studio Doors Crow Show, another breast grabbing piece, a long passed goldfish from my student days, and one of the first shoots I did with Georgia. Wish me luck. I am averaging a two-in-three success rate currently. I would dearly love for all these to work out or, at least, not lower my success rate...
All the best, fantasies like Santa Claus and Thanksgiving can be fun for children and adults but it is also important to remember what's real and what really happened... better even with atonement... much better.
