HAVE U SEEN IT?

Bring +POSITIVE+ action to the business of art. Let us show, in a POSITIVE way that we want to see healthy thriving artists, not “starving artists”. Help send a POSITIVE message to the integrity of the business of art and the business world as a whole.

Art (in any form) is an expression of the soul. It takes bravery to look into ones’ own soul and create a piece of art for all to see, or experience. Yet sadly, it takes a different kind of bravery to swim in the waters of the business world, to make a living as an artist. Broken contracts, false intentions, poor communication & Lack of respect for artists in the business world, has left a lot of art: unseen, unfinished, untouched, & unrealized. It is time we tell those corporations and businesses that we want to see the creative genius that has been buried under bad business practices, & financial deception. That we want businesses to uphold their words that they speak and the contracts they sign.

INSPIRATION for Have U Seen It?

This campaign is inspired by a desire to find a positive response to the disrespect(breaking) of business contracts, empty promises, lack of effective communication, and pushing off of financial agreements.

The lawyer route is not a path I desire, it would be long, expensive, possibly ugly, and NOT the results I am looking for….the art may never be seen. And honestly, the legal system isn’t really helping the human spirit, it’s making us more fearful of everyone we meet, requiring contracts for everything. Yet contracts are broken all too often, leaving the agreement no stronger than the flimsy paper it was written on.

In response to my current situation, I am left with some choices: 1-fight legally, 2-walk away, 3-do something different, 4-bitch and complain, 5-hope for the best, 6-do nothing.

Ideally I want the contract fulfilled. With my choices in mind, and not really liking to pick just one, I choose 3 & 5. Thus leading to the conception of HAVE U SEEN IT? I want to do something different, something unexpected, something positive. Something to inspire a change, it is time to make a statement….We all need to take responsibility for the words that come out of our mouths, the legal contracts we adhere our signatures to, and to have the dignity to communicate honestly with each other.

YOU CAN HELP MAKE A STATEMENT!!

FIRST PROJECT:

illustration “A Timeless Day in Sedona”

Something as simple as:
“I can not wait to see the mural in uptown, Sedona”

“Really looking forward to the 50 foot mural due to be unveiled this year.”

“Thanks for making a huge piece of public art happen!”

email to
Lovejoy@LovejoyCreations.com

(I will print the emails and deliver them to the city of Sedona)

**if this campaign is effective, i will be open to helping other artist send a POSITIVE response to issues**

We can not change how situations are handled in the past, but we can affect tomorrow by what we do today. With that being said, I am asking for the sending of POSITIVE postcards because I want the commissioner to know that people want to see this piece of art, and that he needs to uphold his end of the agreement. With that I thank all of you who participate! Thanks for being You!!

IMPORTANT!!! IMPORTANTE!!!
this is a POSITIVE message I want to convey. Bullying, lawyers, ultimatums, threats don’t work, all they do is bring about more bullying, threats, and unwanted results. We are all more inclined to do what feels good, PLEASE KEEP ALL MESSAGES POSITIVE! LOVE GOES ALONG WAY….BE APART OF MAKING IT MORE VISIBLE.
