I worked two days in a row at Sea World this week. I realize that all too often I let the competition of retail get in the way of enjoying what I actually can do with my time, and it becomes a bitter day in the end. All it takes is one person waiting for a mediocre artist while you are standing there, wanting to draw them, when they haven't even seen your work... for frustration to set in.
Working at Sea World is relaxed and professional - an environment that is great for a laid-back artist, however the 'clientel' is composed of almost entirely 2-8 year old girls. So I'm getting better at selling 'cute' - ugh.
Next post here will contain art, I promise.

REJECTS blog #1
Hey there. My name is Joe Bluhm (pronounced "bloom") and I am an artist who currently lives in Orlando, FL. I won't lie, I am copying some of my friends and role models with this blog idea, maybe to get some more exposure and force me to draw a bit more. This seems to be the inspirado location!<< If you want to see some of my work, check out the link there, to go to JoeBluhm.com
I chose the name "REJECTS" because it's popular in the retail caricature industry - describing a drawing that was either not purchased, returned or redrawn. I am also working on a short art-book to be out this summer on the subject.
So... expect caricatures, expect sketches, expect paintings, expect digital work, and drop by to see if I remember to update!
