Art Attack… WWMLKJD? John Rankine 1/24/2013 We celebrated Martin Luther King Day for the first time ever Sunday. While the banks drag behind, Eureka Springs moved progressively forward and honored one of the great humanitarians of all time – the man who sought through non-violence, equality for all – the man whose untimely assassination changed […]

Art Attack – If you can’t stand the clutter get out of the studio John Rankine 1/17/2013 It seems my Virgo moon kicked into gear last week, my studio being the benefactor. It had been a very, very long time since my home studio had a thorough cleaning and reorganizing. It was a daunting task, […]

Art Attack – Marriage Equality John Rankine 1/3/2013 I met my partner Billy at a mutual friend’s birthday party in Key West 20 years ago. For me, it was love at first sight – a handsome, politically minded, intelligent, agnostic vegetarian. Eight years ago, on December 27, we were legally married in my native homeland, […]

Year of the Zeek John Rankine 12/28/2012 2012 will be remembered as the Year of the Zeek.

Art Attack – Rejection and the artist ego John Rankine 12/13/2012 “Even if you are the most luscious, juiciest, perfect peach in the orchard, there is going to be someone who hates peaches.” Anonymous Facebook Such fragile creatures we are, “we” being artists. “Rejection,” a word you think “we” would be used to.

Art Attack – The activist artist John Rankine 11/29/2012 I have an idea – let’s invite tourists to our quaint Victorian village during the holidays and make deer the decorative centerpiece while simultaneously hosting a citywide deer hunt. I’m surprised the CAPC and Downtown Network didn’t jump all over this missed cross marketing opportunity – […]

Art Attack – The art of marketing art John Rankine 11/22/2012 Eureka Springs is a noted arts destination, chock full of talented, creative people; but while many in the community call themselves artists, in reality only a handful make a living through art alone. Most supplement income with either full or part-time jobs to feed […]

Art Attack – We love a parade John Rankine 11/15/2012 For such a tiny city we sure host a whole lot of parades. In fact we held four in just the past 10 days. We went from Zombie to Folk Festival to Veterans to a Porsche parade in a blink of an eye. Eureka Springs […]
