Love Sharon Butler's work.

[@chriserskineartist]

Prichard Is an amazing artist. I first saw his work about year ago and fell in love with his patterns and shapes. I also love his use of colour and how he divides up his space with two very dark colours that almost merge into one, until you look at it from a different angle. I also find his texture surfaces to be really interesting and particularly how they add to the division of space on the canvas. He is a really great artist and he deserves more recognition for his truly original art. Bulter’s art I like and I appreciate what she is trying to achieve with her work. I wish I could connect more with her work, but it hasn’t happen yet. Nevertheless, I love seeing her work and this latest show is interesting. I read two coats of paint and love what she is doing with the blog. It is unfortunate that a review of the show could not just focus on her art work. I love it when you covered each year’s opening season for the Brooklyn art scene, I think it has been some time since you last did a film. Maybe Brooklyn has reached it peak and now the area is filled with recent arrivals? Funny with the Brooklyn Rail and their lost of all the old writers and their shift in focus. Love your writings, they were very good. These things happens, you create something successful and change the secret formula to remain current and everything goes to pot.

I think is would be a mistake to try to gauge what's happening here in Brooklyn from the Kalm Report. Although I do my best to cover what'a going on here, there are too many other factors effecting my time and energies (that I can't disclose) which restrict the amount of video I can produce, edit, and post, and have nothing to do with the scene here...Thanks.

[@chriserskineartist]

jameskalmroughcut I completely agree that you are providing a narrow take on the art scene that is run through various filters: time, interest, and luck. Furthermore, Your video project is a huge undertaking in terms of time and effort and very much appreciated; particularly, for a full-time working artist (in New York, no less). Nevertheless, I did find your Bushwich season openers nice to see and a good reminder of the vast and uneven quality of art production out there. What I find particularly funny in this day of mass social media is how no one has consistently made the effort to cover the scene. Thanks again for your time and efforts. Much appreciated.

James please visit Tom's house and see what was left out- He is one of the BEST abstract painters on your videos. You need to have a show with him.

[@chriserskineartist]

at 31:32 I thought I heard someone's phone ringing in the background with a metal music ringtone, but it turned out to be bagpipe music that went with the video. (-:

Can't go wrong when you lead off with a home run.

[@TheTerminalExpress]

Technical question--How did Sharon Butler mount the canvas panels on the wall?

[@jameskalmroughcut]

From what I could see, Sharon glued a wooden cradle, or frame, recessed a couple of inches in from the edge, on the back of the panels, and hung the paintings from that...

[@TheTerminalExpress]

I am always suspect of the adherent powers of just glue...seems like it would wear out and fail. Thanks for the response!

[@cliffdariff74]

does Ben enjoy enough sales to sustain his living via painting?

[@jameskalmroughcut]

I don't think Ben's career has achieved "critical mass" yet...but I'm not his accountant.

[@cliffdariff74]

@@jameskalmroughcut thanks you're funny!

[@garyreams8123]

Do you ever see various "art works" and or paintings etc. that you think are absolute crap and video them and say so on camera that they're just junk?

[@anawieder5003]

Wacky stuff like what? I’m curious
