This isn't actually Duane Snider, but the guy in the photo is just as old, creepy, and well-dressed. The main difference is Duane wears nicer glasses and this guy has more hair.

Hello one and all, [ robot: not again... ]

Recently I launched a new blog [ robot: turn... ] that you can find by going to my website [ robot: me... ] at *!! CENSORED LINK !!* and clicking on the link posted on my home page. [ robot: off! ] I hope you all take the time to check out what I will have to offer on what I hope will be a regular basis. [ robot: pull the plug! ]

re creepy Duane’s post — who are these blue collar collectors, and where do they look for art? i could use some new leads on potential buyers. first thursdays on 13th/johnson where i set up are sometimes ok; alberta last thursdays have gotten a little too crazy to get to and set up on; coffeehouses / bars i hardly sell in (except for murphy’s pub on 65th/se foster — sold about a dozen there)

[robot: blue collar collectors don't look for art, they buy what Duane Snider tells them to buy because without him they would not exist. my highly advanced artificial intelligence tells me that you should stop worrying about selling your art and get back to what makes you interesting: pissing people off!]

Hello friends and art lovers. [robot: you don't have any friends]

Be sure to mark you calendars for May 14 at 8:00 PM for the Oregon Art Beat special on collecting and collectors. I will be featured in this break through program as one of the ble collar collectors that the show will focus on. This is truly a watermark event in terms of giving credit to people of modest means who have found the passion, disipline and resources for collection great works of art on a budget. If you can’t watch the show on May 14th, the program will be replayed on May 17th at 6:00PM. [robot: this is making me want to go choke on something sharp]

The project has generated considerable buzz in the local arts community as this is probably the most high profile coverage of working class collectors the region has ever seen. The show acknowledges the importance of support for the arts from all sectors of the local population. [robot: my asshole is starting to shrivel up]

This was an idea I pitched to KC Cowan over five years ago. Her initial reaction was luke warm at best, but two years ago she realize the merit of the concept and started planning for the production of this show. I feel very honored to have been included in planning for the show. I take great pride in being at least partly responsible for championing the idea that art is for everyone, especially in the Portland Art Market. I have said for years that this is the best place in the country to buy art, and this OBT special validates the extraordinary opportunity our regional art market offers the broadest possible audience. [robot: I bet you will say it again]
