Nobody Said FUNding had to be Fun… but why not, let’s try it!
And so, we’ll try to make it kinda fun. It will be dry, like hot ice, mundane, like a Mad Honey Badger, staid, like Sid Vicious, and extremely uninteresting – unless of course you enjoy watching paint dry, and sure, it’ll run ya a li’l bit, but it ain’t gonna require you to pawn your signed Randy Moss Rookie Card (never pawn anything affiliated with Randy Moss – the real NFL GOAT)
Diamond Lake Creative (DLC) is not: an open AI platform; it does not have the ability to drive itself; it will never attempt to define anything in an objective state; and it cannot do long division in its head. It can: help you relax; make you laugh; provide bad advice concerning financial investments; and, it’s run by a local artist who supports local artists.
Ways to Support The Arts around Minneapolis and the World
Purchase
All gallery photos available for purchase. Photo sizes vary and are for the most part standard (1×1; 2×1; 3×4; etc. etc.) Prices are determined by the dimension and material (prices set by WHCC + bleu cheese futures). Additional galleries will be added in coming months. If you see something on this site and it’s not sized for your specific needs, let me know and I’ll see what I can do.
Give/Donate
The Arts, broadly speaking, don’t receive the same type of financial support provided for: math and science standardized testing prep, gas and oil exploration and the requisite shareholder massaging, Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac, and many other low risk-variable reward investments… and this is why artists starve. Supporting the arts is like exercising, rarely fun but always rewarding.
Gift
Birthdays, anniversaries, Xmas, Tuesdays, Thanks for Everythings – whatever the occasion, art is always a great way to let someone know you’re thinking about them or you care enough to send some pretty ok photography, or you like them, or you feel obligated to get them something because they got you something and this will go on until someone moves in with someone and then the gifts get more extravagant.

‘The term “phenomenographic phenotype” is a combination of two different concepts: phenotype and phenomenography. A phenotype refers to an organism’s observable characteristics resulting from the interaction of its genotype and the environment. Phenomenography, on the other hand, is a qualitative research methodology that explores the variation in how people experience or understand a phenomenon. In essence, “phenomenographic phenotype” suggests using phenomenography to study the variations in how people perceive or understand the observable characteristics of an individual or group, potentially including the impact of their own experiences and interpretations on those characteristics.’ The above definition was given by Google’s AI and is in no way representative of anything I eat, for the most part ↩︎
