Hard Feelings http://www.hardfeelingsblog.com art is hard Mon, 17 Oct 2011 23:57:52 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 thank you, goodnight http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/HardFeelings/~3/A_nBEkmk6IQ/ http://www.hardfeelingsblog.com/2011/10/thank-you-goodnight/#comments Mon, 17 Oct 2011 23:57:52 +0000 dylan http://www.hardfeelingsblog.com/?p=9782

I’m sure a lot of you have already noticed but for the past few months I’ve really been struggling to keep up with Hard Feelings and the site’s gone from 4-6 posts a day to maybe one. I started a business with my wife Kristy called HAM last year and kind of to my surprise, we’ve been really successful. That’s good news for us but bad news for all of the other projects I have going on. On top of it, I’ve also opened a small screen printing shop with my friend Ghost. If I’m not working 12 hours a day in the office, I’m pulling screens at the studio.

Right now, I just feel like I don’t have the time to make Hard Feelings the kind of site that it should be. I haven’t been able to put together features like the ol’ days and it’s even getting to the point that it’s difficult to post on the daily. No good. The last thing I want to do with this site is a half assed job, the artists that I love to feature here deserve a lot more than a rushed post at 4AM.

SO, what does that mean for HF? For now, I’m going to be stepping back and putting the site on indefinite hiatus. I’d love to come back to regular posts and features sometime down the road but frankly, I’m just not sure when that’ll be or if it’ll even happen at all.

I want to say thanks to everyone out there who read the posts, got involved with contests and projects, the other bloggers who worked with me, gave advice and were just awesomely supportive and especially to all of the artists who I had a chance to get to know and who sent their work this way, gave away their awesome shit and took the time to do interviews and features. Every one of you rules. HARD.

I’m still going to be updating the HF Tumblr with inspirational stuff and you can check out my business and follow me on Twitter if you’re so inclined.

Somewhere between the classics, surrealism and just ultimate weirdness exists the paintings of Max Gomez Canle.

Pleasantly surprised to check in on one of my favorite artists, Saddo and find a completely new direction that his work has taken. He’s made a pretty marked shift from the very distinct worlds he was painting last year and moved towards a more controlled landscape and natural aesthetic.

You can read an interview we did with Saddo back in July, 2010 here.
