I mostly keep the content of this BLOG related to TampaArtist.com and the Tampa Art Scene, I received the Email below yesterday and it made me angry that someone is using ART as a means to abuse an animal. Please take 5 mins to read and act upon it. I believe the voice of the people is the strongest method for making change.

2007, the ‘artist’ Guillermo Vargas Habacuc, took a dog from the street, tied him to a rope in an art gallery, and starved him to death.
For several days, the ‘artist’ and the visitors of the exhibition have watched emotionless the shameful ‘masterpiece’ based on the dog’s agony, until eventually he died.

Does it look like art to you?

But this is not all… the prestigious Visual Arts Biennial of the Central American decided that the ‘installation’ was actually art, so that Guillermo Vargas Habacuc has been invited to repeat his cruel action for the biennial of 2008.

PLEASE HELP STOP HIM.It takes a second to help put a stop to animal abuse. sign the petition to stop
please your friends to sign the petition.

Posted by tampaartist under Uncategorized

There is a family in St. Petersburg that is looking for a technical drawing instructor for their 7 yr old and possibly his 5 yr old sibling. The boy is highly gifted academically, though not necessarily in art making. They want someone who can work with him and speak with him on an adult level and assist him with his drawing skills, possibly introducing other mediums. If you know of any artists who may be interested, please ask them to forward me a resume, contact info and samples of their work. I will give the information to his family. Also, the family would prefer a female if possible.
Please contact:
