New Stuff.
I'm on my way. Kristy agreed, after a bunch of poking, prodding and alcohol, that it would be great to let me hire her to make my art for me. it's actually a little bit better than that, but stay tuned. I'm working on it. I'm going to contract with her to make a photograph to my specifications and she's going to sell me the aesthetic and artistic rights to the picture. Her photograph (a large format photo, no smaller than 20x24) will be displayed along side the contract in which I purchase the artistic and aesthetic rights to the image. I'll tell her what to photograph, which will essentially amount to saying, "get that," and I'll own everything else. Brett has agreed to do the same and I'll have to come up with a contract for him as well. I will then complete the series by making my own photographs (which will doubtless suck compared to theirs), and I will show all of them, including the contracts, together. All this will happen well after Kristy and I get back from Marfa, but I've got a rough draft of the contract done. So far, it is 11 pages long. I may have to edit it up or down, since I want it to be frameable as the same size as the photograph I'm commissioning.
