I would MUCH rather receive word on what's happening from an Indie art store than more self-promotion by RR. But even he's still allowed to promote himself on the serv, as the rest of us do. More »

I see so much crap on it sometimes I see who the sender was & don't even bother reading it. Chruches are advertising, the City of Kent, some park in Eatonville, Horseman Club out in Spanaway - I see it all. More »

I love seeing your ads, Warren, because I need art supplies! I think Tacoma is blessed with a great supply store, and the majority are happy to hear about any deals or incentives that'll get us down there spending our money LOCALLY. More »

Warren, as they say in the homebrew circles, "relax, don't worry, have a homebrew". Seriously - there are a bunch of poseurs here who think that being an artist means living bohemian and has nothing to do with business. More »

Vague rules are bad, especially when conversation about them is not allowed. There are a lot of vague rules (more like pronouncements) like this regarding "commercial activity" around teh interwebs, and I always wonder why people think they can just make up a rule like that off the top of their heads and there won't be any questions about it, when there are volumes and volumes of law books devoted to the effort to define these terms.

I sure don't see anything unethical, except perhaps a little word choice, but that's not something to flog a guy over. I really like seeing Warren's posts to the listserve, because they help remind people that there's a local guy providing great art supplies who will answer your questions as best he can, when you go in and want to try something new, or just want to chat.

I fully support what Warren is doing, and I don't think that those posts are an abuse of the listserve in any way. He's supporting what us artists are doing, and we can use lots of support. More »

Warren of the Tacoma Art Supply posted a list of specials to the art listserv the other day and has received some flack for it. So, with all the other artists and venues posting info about shows that sometimes cost money and art that is for sale, should an art supply company be able to do the same? More »
