For anyone crazy enough to still watching us two crazy assholes hate on one another, I have some news.

An outside force has stepped in and brought some reason to this chaos…
there will now be peace in IRAQ… And we will sign the treaty. haha

Joey, we gotta be near the record for most comments on a post by now?
whats the stats?

Levi,

I thank you for pointing out the evil intentions I have for
trying to help bring people together.

You are so right. You told me. I agree. Everyone please
do not trust me or my intentions for trying to build a community
art portal where people can post their own work and such.

My real intentions are to rule the evil art blogging empire by
writing dirty emails to people who don’t return my emails?

Thank you. And why would I email you? You have a tendency of
not emailing people back. Seems it would be more appropriate for you to email me
since you have flamed me on this blog and have tried to ruin my character.

I like your http://www.urbanartwarfare.com site. And only want
to work with you not against you or anyone who’s into contemporary
art.

Crystal- Jane Gray has gallery hours Monday through Friday until 5pm (not sure when they open). You can see the show during that time or call for an appointment.

Freedomrope, I appreciate your outside perspective. Its good to have it, but I agree with you, Im trying to get Byron to take this argument out of this thread, because your right, this isn’t my site. And I can see where It might have sounded a bit malicious towards Byron, but there are a lot of other factors, people, and situations involved in this that Byron knows of and I didn’t feel the need to go name dropping on a public forum. It was just a build up of many bad occurrences on Byrons part and I just felt the need say what I know there are alot of others thinking. I understand that It may seem like Byron is trying to do a good thing with JaxCAL and yeah, it’s not New York and we need all the help we can get in starting a movement, but it’s just in my nature to call bullshit when I see it. If done properly it could definitely be a good thing, Byron Just has to work on his people skills first.
If you cruise around some of the other local blogs (URBANJAX LINK LIST) You might just stumble upon some other threads by Byron just like this where you might also get an idea for why I did what I did. But then again, the Internal Mechanism might have got to them already.

Bryon, like I said before if you want to continue this conversation like the “Player haters Ball” this is…Email me, i know you have it.
If not Ive said my peace, and I wish you good Luck.

thanks joey, i’ll follow up on the rss advice.
im concerned about the dialogue bet levi and byron. i dont see a problem with jaxcals approach to specifics towards contemporary art. i never thought about it actually. and i didnt get bad vibes from jaxcal in posting matt abercrombies palm tree this weekend.
byrons gudelines were made to give general directions to the viewer, visitor of the site. i dont think they were made to be taken so literally.

pshew! Man i am tired from reading all of that. You guys need to get a boxing ring or something. The fight is interesting for sure. So Levi this urbanjacksonville blog is “yours”. For some reason i thought it was someone else’s blog. Just trying to figure out this conversation.

I think both of you guys are correct with certain points. Too bad you aren’t seeing that. You are saying some of the same things really. Levi, i agree with you that inclusion is good and Byron i agree with you that exclusivity can work when creating an aesthetic sometimes. There are guidelines for both i am sure somewhere buried under some text book. i wonder.
From what i know about jaxcal and Byron, i dont think Byron is dissing those artists who paint those particular images, he is simply creating a line in the sand to define an aesthetic. I do agree with you Levi that sometimes, it sounds quite terse, so Byron maybe work on that. But everyone who doesn’t want to have anything to do with Byron sounded very hurtful, so maybe Levi, work on that? Just my thought. I know you don’t know who I am, I do not know any of you, but outsiders perspective take it or leave it.

But nonetheless this is a small community where most people have their own ideas and goals of what they want to see happen. It aint nyc ya know. it could be better if everyone works together.

why not join forces? even if you are doing the same thing it seems there is plenty of people here in jacksonville to create support. Otherwise you are creating contention if you are not creating synergy.

I think both of you might want to reconsider holding your tongues a bit, sticking the past in your pocket and “try” to work “together”

just some thoughts.
