I was asked to submit a few pieces into an upcoming, juried show at ISquare so somewhere near midnight on the day of the deadline I sent along photos of these three local homeless kids. Truth is the drawings were not done and they have changed considerably since. I had them in painting class last week and I told my teacher that I had submitted the three but only two of them got in. I told him which one was rejected and he said, “That’s the best one. People like pretty. They don’t like expressive.”
But that’s not the end of the story. I just got a note from the gallery director that says the person who did the poster for the show used the image that was rejected so it is back in the show.
