Howdy Members, here some Bad news and some Good news from the other side of the Ocean

[Fnurkus Artvark, Lover of the Bizarre...]

Dear Members and visitors of this OUTSIDER ARTISTS Site and also members of POWERPAINTER.ORG ,
an intercontinental platform with which this USA based platform became affiliated since a few months ago, and I became moderator of this Outsider Artists Site.

Well no matter what has happened to me, I will keep on moderating this wonderful community as good as I am able to and watch over the ideals and the goals of this ever growing Artists network!

Announcement about the POWERPAINTER.ORG Database:

Few days ago i made the decision to close the database temporarily because I have no time at the moment to get all the work done that is needed to do to keep it running in a professional way: I need to watch my priorities very carefully since last year ,since I was diagnosed ADHD. I need to work hard to keep going and stay on top of the awkward situation that it brought to me, have to get my biological rhythm straightened out with medication and al, thus being behind the computer for too long is not good for me, I get over concentrated too easily and I am way too obsessed with doing it ...

Well In fact i am struggling very hard to get my life back on the rails, I need to stay focused on my next targeted EXPO in NYC !

I will focus myself the coming months on the ADHD programi am in to get my medication right and to get a grip on my situation: I will spend most of my time painting, teaching Art to small groups of people and setting up Workshops in my studio...My own professional web site will keep on running and coming days i will spend renovating it and adding new elements to it keeping my professional machinery running under difficult circumstances.

Sincerely,

POWERPAINTER

Some good News:

Here's something I am very proud of!

This publication is done at the end of 2007, and it feels like quite an honour to me to be selected and to be seen between the best Artists known and unknown selected around the World by
World Of Art Magazine

Well People that was it, since i have to live on a very structured base and live at the other side of the Ocean you wil only find me here in the early morning or very late night, regarding the time difference:I live at GMT + 1 in the city of the Hague in The Netherlands!
Sincerely,

Marcus van Soest alias
