The Artistic Biker is me, Jonathan "Blade" Manning. A treasure troll of a man, with hobbit feet and a sharp pointy head. You may see me traveling up and down the highways of Oklahoma looking for the next place to sketch, paint, sing, dance, write, photograph or simply meditate. I have begun a journey that once set upon, there is no turning back. You can share in my blunt force journey through the art world on my weekly U-stream broadcast The Artistic Biker Live! Thursdays from 6-8p central
I have been receiving several messages lately telling me what I ought to do with my art. It got me thinking over the past few years of being online just how many people have offered me unsolicited, and at times seeming mean spirited, advice. You should know that even these e-mails center around the fact that I am free to do what I want in my journal. I usually listen to the advice then do what I want anyway.
Tragedy struck about 10 minutes into the show this week as Boy2 discovered a Japanese fishing float that my mother brought back from Hawaii 30 years ago. If you’re not familiar, these are glass balls made in Japan that break free from the fishing nets and float out to sea. Many of them float for dozens of years before washing ashore. He picked it up and tried to bounce it before anyone could get to him. It’s just stuff, though. We enjoyed it for a long time.
