… that I very rarely self promote…
But Kira recently gave me a
Spotlight featurein Art Universe .
And the way she set it up and hung the pictures looked so cool that I couldn`t let it go without showing it off.
So if that makes me look like I`m a stinkin show-off, then it`s exactly what I am today and I`m for today I am actually totally cool with that :-)
Thanks so much Kira, and everyone who`s stopped to take a look…
Big Hugz!!!

Billy – I changed my mind.
Or rather I changed yours – you are now a FEATURED ARTIST in ART UNIVERSE.
Changing the headline will probably be to complicated and confusing, but your avatar is on the groups front page and in a few minutes a couple of your pictures will be too.
CONGRATULATIONS! ☺
billyboy:
Kira, in my line of work I am used to complicated and confusing… I work with rock musicians :-)
I can`t thank you enough for what you`ve done to promote my work and hope to on some occasion be able to pay it forward.
You ARE a true saint !
billyboy:
… and I just checked out the group`s front page…
Thanks so much for including the two pictures that sum up my work the best. You so totally get it :-))

Barbara Sparhawk
Congratulations buddy, again and again, this photograph as somebody says, Has legs. It is so totally wonderfully remarkably an image of that strident, fearless, overpopulated concrete mound.
Re tooting your own horn, DO IT. A very successful friend of mine once heard me describe what I planned to do with something I’d done, and looking totally bewildered asked, Don’t you believe in self-promotion? It was abundantly clear that I hadn’t a clue and he had. Figuring out how to get heard and seen by the multitudes, and thereby enrich lives. Go for it.
billyboy:
TOOOOOOOOOOOOOT
TOOOOOOOOOOOOOT
TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTT !!!!
OK, like could ya get yer hand off my horn already??
Actually that was kinda cool…
TOOOOOOOOOOOOOT
TOOOOOOOOOOOOOT
TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTT !!!!
