2004 Outsider Artist Blog

Dear Readers,
September and October could be slow months for posting. Who knows, sometimes I get inspired. But I have some other projects in the works that I need to attend to. Hope you have enjoyed August posts on my great new outsider artist blog – notes of a dirty old outsider artist, which is based on the title of Charles Bukowski's book – notes of a dirty old man, so is the design of the site. I wrote some brief descriptions of all my August blogs.

I'm a blogging. been a webbing before, but never a blogging so I will post some bio stuff -
Here Goes:
It's a long way to Transylvania, but you can't to there from here. Born in the USA on the Jersey Shore John DAgostino, Eccentric Artist began his journey as an artist at a young age. Traveling and living in many parts of the U.S.- New York, Miami, and the Mid-West he absorbed influences from art "high" and "low". But his greatest inspiration were the words of Licio Isolani, a New York performance artist who he worked with in the 80's. Licio was considered pretty eccentric. He taught me that an artist is always an artist weather he has commercial success or is recognized or not. Even if you are surviving by polishing shoes at a golf course, as John once did, you are still an artist. If you take these words to heart and try to live your life by these words, you to will inevitability become eccentric, maybe even deranged. John at one time was known as Clockman and showed at The Gallery of the Eccentric in Coral Gables, Florida.

John at one time was known as Clockman and showed at The Gallery of the Eccentric in Coral Gables, Florida, lived in a house boat on the Miami River, and managed a 6000 sq.ft. warehouse for artists and writers and musicians. He made child-like paintings on wood scraps and made them into clocks. Besides the word of Isolani, his travels to Africa were great influences. He soaked up the sun and colors of West African textile while living in Togo for 2 1/2 years and he has visited many African countries. Before moving to Transylvania he lived in Istanbul where he continued to paint, do mixed-media pieces and sculpt in clay. He also got into making web sites - because making paintings on wood and sculpting is crazy if you need to travel light. No more leaving hordes of art in foreign countries.

John DAgostino - Wild Wave Wolfman




JUST A TEST

Have a Cup O' Joe from Joey Gia's and read on.

When I am not busy being an outsider artist and making outsider art webs and eccentric art I am traveling. Here is an OLD TRAVEL ADVENTURE STORY, ACTUALLY JUST A LITTLE PIECE of a thing called TRIPPING -

Ataturk Airport in Istanbul was easy, but getting back there from my trip was another story. I had traveled to America to spend my birthday with my twin brother and visit for the Christmas holidays. I arrived in New Jersey at 2:30 in the morning on December 3rd, which was about the same time I was born 47 years ago on that same day. I got off at the train station at Bradley Beach on the Jersey shore and went to the nearest payphone. It was bitter cold.
No answer on the phone. I had caught an earlier train. They weren't expecting me until 10 or 12. I used up all my quarters leaving messages on my brother's and his wife's voice mails. I only had a light back pack at this time. I decided to walk to Barry's Tavern, which was about 4 blocks away and across the street from my brother's restaurant. My brother Joe and his wife Marilyn were regulars there, often stopping for a few beers at night after a long day at their restaurant, Joey Gia's.

Unfortunately Barry's was closed. Fortunately enough though Jerry, one of the owners, was still there cleaning up and I banged on the front window. It took a while to get his attention because he had the new Johnny Cash release blaring on the CD player. He came to the door all concerned and said, "Joe, what's the matter, everything O.K.?" I explained that I was the wandering twin brother of Joe, John from Istanbul, not Joe. Jerry and I had met before on a previous visit, so I didn't have to show him identification to convince him that I was John and not Joe high on hallucinogenic drugs. Jerry was great. He gave me some quarters, handed me a bottle of Bud (my first birthday beer) and let me use the phone. I got in touch with Billy, Marilyn's son, who said they were all home and asleep. Jerry finished cleaning and gave me a ride to my brother's house in the adjacent town of Neptune, where Joe and I were both born along with our 4 other brothers and sisters. My brother lives in a section known as Ocean Grove on the beach, which used to be a religious community until the Supreme Court decided that the town was in violation of the separation of church and state rules. I'm told there is a large gay community there now. I banged on the side door of the old two-story house until I woke my brother and he came noisily down the stairs. Half asleep he opened the door. I went in and flopped down on the red paisley couch in the living room. He went back to bed. Read the rest of the story by John DAgostino the eccentric artist at www.tripping.johnsbighead.com and find out what the goat is all about.

BTW- Mr. Goat sez, "Interested in Cup O' Joe Art? Go to www.cup-o-joe.com "

I have been working on creating www.art-links.org over the last few days and am looking for artists to send me samples of their art pages on the web. If you want some free additional exposure then www.art-links.org is the place to be. If you are an artist and want to link to the www.art-links.org site - cool, groovy, far out. It is free. Send me info (as you want it posted), a few images, the name of your site, whatever, better yet send me a copy of your index page or any other page from your site and I will get it posted ASAP. Make sure you link it back to your own site.
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES of linking to
www.art-links.org ------- MORE EXPOSURE. Google searches rely on certain criteria - links and popularity being important. So we all get more traffic if we link together. The only thing that I ask is that you put a link to me in return. More links = More Visitors to your site.
All for one and one for all.

Merry Christmas from Eccentric American Artist John DAgostino aka John Dog aka Rev. John Dog aka Clock Man.

A good friend of mine just sent me an e-mail and urged me to pray for the end to the war in Iraq. In this time of wishing peace on earth and all that it makes you think.


Damn, I'm not one for praying but there seems to be no other way since the wise folk back in America re-elected G.W.ar Bush. (think I'll remain a refugee over-seas)
