HELLO FRIENDS, 
I'm Dick Harrison and I'm pleased to meet you! 

I hope what you see here and on my ART & ARTIST website will entertain and inform. If you subscribe by filling in you email address in the box to the right, I'll send along an update about every two weeks sharing what has caught my eye in the creative world we both enjoy   

     After spending a couple of years teaching art in public schools, I spent the next twenty years in advertising and promotion, eventually owning an ad agency specializing in motion picture advertising.

     Not long after I “retired” to Florida at age fifty, circumstances beyond my control led me to become an independent rep selling my own art, prints, posters and originals for major fine art print publishers and individual artists. I spent the next twenty plus years selling art to Interior Designers, Architects and Galleries throughout Florida. Now that I'm again "retired," Books & Writing have become my new passion, assuming that's still possible at age eighty-four. Perhaps there's a pill for that. If so, it's probably black and white not a little blue one.

Micah MacLuhan describes the exciting new products the Conglomerate Church has originated and how it raises funds, from The Spray-On Condom, Tither's Trading Stamps, Stations of the Cross Golf Courses and many more. He explains how prayer, miracles, evangelism, The Great Commission, Blessed Assurance have evolved technologically from micro-chipping ostriches to provide a faith which is comfortable and profitable for everyone - including the church. In what some people today think is a slide from Absolute Truth to making it easier to be good by adapting what works in business, politics and technology MacLuhan points the "way forward" in accomplishing "The Lord's Work." Written by award winning author, cartoonist and podcaster, Dick Harrison,THE FEEL GOOD CHURCH will leave you laughing - and, perhaps, thinking. For a few with an "ultra-traditional" sense of humor, it may be a shocker. For a few with an "ultra liberal" point of view it may may cause them to say, "Hey! That sounds a little like my church!"

 People want to live with pleasant pictures; images that evoke happy memories, good times, pleasant surroundings, fun, fellowship, places or events they have enjoyed or hope to enjoy, including animals, beautiful flora and fauna.

      They avoid frightening, controversial, political, depressing and jarring images. No matter how superbly rendered, creatively conceived or striking the composition, pictures of poverty, murder, mayhem and madness are not likely to end up over the mantlepiece in most homes or offices.

      Color plays a tremendously important role in the selection of art for the home or office. Because wall décor is usually the last thing purchased there must be some relationship or matching of of fabrics, furniture, papers and wall coverings. Therefore, an artist should keep up with and anticipate color trends.

     There’s a gold mine out there! It’s probably the largest most consistent and lucrative art market of all, but most artists don’t know it exists. Or they ignore it completely as they bang their heads against the wall trying to arrange enough gallery representation to assure full time income from their chosen profession.

     I stumbled on it by accident and for many years sold more than $200,000 worth of art, my own and the work of other artists, each year. I spent about three days a week marketing and the rest of the time producing my own art and working with other artists, publishers and wholesalers. Because I controlled my own schedule I could choose to spend one week working on my art projects or writing, the next out selling art or visiting with other artists looking for new images for my clients. Or I may have taken a few days off to fish and recharge my own creative batteries.

     I did it for more than twenty years, selling to a market that has an insatiable appetite for art. My clients sold art or they couldn’t complete the job and get paid for their own expertise.
