Anti M's Home for Wayward Art

Post by AntiM » Thu Jun 01, 2023 4:56 pm

Well, the time has come, the project, and Anti M, will not be returning to the playa. Mostly health reasons, but the logistics and finances play a part too. Just no fun without my wizard.

Therefore, I charge you all who love art, gifting, gifting galleries, and wayward art ... make a gallery, make a gifting station, give away art, original or sad or lost or found. Any size project in front of your camp, backstreet small art is vital and a dying ... um, er, art. DO IT. GIFT ART. Be it three pieces or hundreds, DO IT. Everyone.

Fuckos. :coffee: :coffee: :coffee: :coffee: :coffee: :coffee:

I’ll see to it that some art hangs on the walls of THREAT with the intention of being gifted.

ah Anti M!! I understand and support your decisions. But, well, you and your "HFWA" was a mainstay and always a delight, my years at the Burn. I got a few wonderful pieces there, and hopefully left a few others enjoyed. I hope someone can come close to what you did...

Thank you for a beautiful thing! I'm sure we will have more wayward wayward art!

I can certainly understand, but you surely will be missed.

Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

You will be so missed. I will do this, I’ve got art to gift and I know Tamara Kay will want to as well. Not sure how many more big burns I have in me as well. I’m thinking more forests and learning to kayak with my dog is in my future. I’m a poor, can’t afford to do all the things

Oh and maybe try regionals and of course still weird fun camping with frens
Oh my god, it's HUGE!

Anti M!

I still have the piece you gifted to me. I had it hanging on my boat, "Auntie Em" (now sold). I hold you dearly in my heart, and know how you feel. Getting old(er) isn't for pussies, and while the mind is strong, eager and willing, unfortunately our flesh eventually betrays us.

I'm coming up on the backside of 70, haven't been to that goddamn desert since 2018, and for some unfathomable reason find myself returning this year for Tomorrow Today. I'm such an idiot.

But every single time I think about my experiences at TTITD, I always...sincerely...always think about stumbling upon your little art gallery in the middle of nowhere, stopping for a look, and finding something that spoke to me. I felt a little guilty just taking it, but the sign said it was ok.

It has always been one of my favorite treasures from my six sojourns to Burning Man, and I think of you every time I look at it.

thankyouThankYouTHANKYOU for you, and your wonderful gift.

Sending big dusty love,
