On YouTube there are ‘first time hearing’ music reaction videos. Nice to listen to some of the music they are hearing for the first time. I have wanted to create one also but over the long years I have listened to a ton of music so I changed this ‘first time’ format to ‘treating you to music I have in my collection’ for my entry into the video ‘reaction’ mix.
The first one didn’t turn out as smooth as I wanted.
This second one is an improvement (still more critiquing and improving to do) and also an artist few people are familiar with so I’m sharing it for those interested.
There is a pause in the music for some talk, that has to be done because of copyright rules. I will not be posting these ‘Reaction’ video Links to FB in the future, I just wanted to show you something else I have been working on besides the art stuff.
Emitt Rhodes, from his 1971 Album, Mirror. Thanks for stopping in and checking out my channel! Hope you enjoy this semi-reaction music selection from my ‘record’ collection.
While an accomplished artist in his own right, Emitt Rhodes most notable legacy was his sound alike voice of the Beatles, Paul McCarthy.
His style and skill of his songwriting and instrumentation also had that ’Beatles’ flavor. Unlike the ‘Beatles’ he was a solo artist and sang all vocals and played all instruments heard in this recording/earlier three albums which he layered on 4 and 8 track tape systems, in his own recording studio.
In my current Art Stuff 108 three minute YouTube video I highlight the selecting of designs for the starting of a new painting. This is a ’Still Shot’ from the video showing some examples of those designs. Ep. 108 YouTube Link:
Art Stuff 108: Selecting Designs for the New Painting
With creating a new design for the next painting I need to look though my sketchbooks to find ideas for the design work to be applied in one area of the worksheet.
There is also a progress image of the ’Tossing Balls’ painting I have been working on. The beginnings of this painting are part of Ep. 106 and 107.
Please take a moment to Subscribe to my art channel, I am closing in on 200 subscribers. Thank you.
Did a trip to the hospital to get some stuff checked out. Anticipating a couple-day stay I took some art materials with me. In-between visits for x-rays and doctors stopping in, waiting time was offered to play around with sketchbooks to find and develop some of those found ideas.
Another image that is placed in the Baker Portfolio Project. And still the double and triple checks of text and images continues up to the Jan. 26 Juried deadline.
Five days until the Juried portion of the Baker Portfolio project. Uploaded the current Art Stuff video to one of the ten sections. Added some additional text and moved a few images around.
Will continue to review.

Art Stuff 104: Changing the 2nd ArtStory book size!
For all the followers of my art style and journey this episode concerns changing the size of my in-progress 2nd ArtStory book. While getting quotes from printers to compile a budget cost to determine the Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign goal, the cost of a 10 x 10 inch compared to a 9 x 9 inch book was addressed.
Will I go with a smaller book and how will that effect all the design work already completed for a 10 x 10 inch format?
How will a smaller size effect the book’s pricing?
Lots of work here in this area of creating this art book.
