Contem Pony Art Part 2

Above photos are of the August show: the private showing of the 11x14 color photographs by John Gretzinger. Photographs depict the unusual adult pastime of Pony Play, a little known fetish. Dressing in equui gear and being trained and/or ridden by a master/mistress has historical precedence as far back as written history allows. Show opens July 29 at 7pm and can be seen by appointment until August 24th. Update! The opening night was a success with over 50 people in attendance.

Gallery Shows -- Contem Pony Art part 1



I've tried to create shows for each month. October, November, December of 2005 and then January, February and March of 2006. The March show has been so popular that I think I'll hold it over until the end of April. It's called "Contem Pony Art, Part 1" --the part 1 indicates that a second part will be forthcoming. Also, if you are new to my blog space, please peruse my earlier posts where I show a bit of the rennovation and repair necessary to make the space suitable for a gallery.



February 2006/ Self-Impressions 1984-86


January Show 2006 Drawings-- Gay Bashing series




December Show

The underside of Corporate Banking!!

Okay, we have the corporation status. Set to go. Now the banking. I went to Washington Mutual. Very confusing. Without my California corporate status they wouldn't help me. Let's review what the books never tell you. Different states call the formation of a corporation different things. In California, which by the way seems to have the highest corporate taxes of anywhere in the nation, there is a statement of information to outline the company and its people and the formation material is called the Articles of Incorporation. Delaware and a few other states call the same thing the Articles of Formation. I felt like such a dummy when the bank official was asking for papers that were different from what I had. Like maybe I was making this whole thing up. You know, artists are famous for "making things up." Finally after reviewing everything that I had, I realized that the bank officers weren't about to go with Delaware corporate papers by whatever name. They acted as if the Articles of Formation and Corporate Data papers in my hand were just so much unformed clay. A rose by any other name is still a rose. Fine. I simply switch banks. There are some friendly banks out there with people who treat you respectfully. My dealings with HSBC bank seem to be going well. They even have a Banking Resolution form that does everything for me. I just sign and use my seal and it's done. Yes! There are banks who want to make it hard for you and there are banks that want to make it easy.
