If you've ever wanted to own a piece of Erik Pearson's art but were unsure how, this, my friend, is your lucky day.
I have a sizable piece that has hung in my living room for quite some time now, and, to be honest, it's clearly time for movin' on.
The painting (in a frame) is about 4 1/2 feet by 5 1/2 feet... give or take. Anyway, it's big.
So, if you are interested, this is how it's gonna go:
1. Write an essay no longer than 100 words about why you want a big, whonkin' painting hanging on your wall, or at least some sort of quasi-germane gibberish (100 means 100, by the way... not 101... I will count... and disqualify!). Essays will be judged on the following criteria: 1) no more than 100 words; 2) pretense of relevance; 3) when I've finished reading it, I think, "Hey, I liked that one. She/He wins!"
2. Live - or have the wall it will hang on - in Duluth. In my advancing years, I've grown leary of bridges and distrustful of towns with the word "Herman" in it or any combination of letters that yeild the prefix "proct-." Sorry.
3. The wall must be in a home or apartment. These works are already in plenty of galleries.
4. Be able to accept delivery when it is convenient to me. If you can only have me drop it off before you go to work at 4:30 in the morning (or some other ridiculously early/late time of day), then I'm not going to. Drop it off, that is. Don't worry, though, it would surpirse you how many times are, indeed, convenient to me.
Additionally:
5. No. I will not take a picture of it and send it to you. This is the world of high-stakes art. Consequently, if you win and I drop it off and you don't like it, then you get to hold your own contest.
6. If procedural queries are not adequety answered here, wing it.
7. Queries about why I'm doing this will get snotty, profanity-laden responses that absloutely ooze condescension. And by "ooze" I mean "ooze-like-sqeezing-a-handful-of-cheap-frosting-and-room-temperature-butter-through-the-fingers-of-a-clenching-fist." Yeah. Ooze.
