In Memory of Jon Whiddon

Jon Whiddon, one of Georgia's great folk artists passed during the lunar eclipse in Feb. 2008. Jon was my "kind" of neighbor in north Georgia. He lived just a few miles away.

Jon's work can be purchased at Rib Country Restaurants in Murphy, North Carolina and Blairsville, Georgia as well as other galleries throughout Atlanta. Jon was cofounder of Whohadada, the famous outsider art group in Atlanta, GA. (http://www.whohadada.com/)

Jon you are sadly missed by everyone in the folk art world.

Today is January 4th, 2009! Sunday!!

Weather is dreary, but hey it's 61 degrees! Warm for January even in Georgia. We usually get snow, sleet and inches of ice in the winter.

I just joined artistaday.com and created a profile under my artist ID of Lynns*Funky*Art, only I couldn't put little * in the name, so it's lynnsfunkyart. I updated a profile and submitted a piece of art for consideration.

I need exposure for my art if I plan to sell online. I belong to a Folk Art site and artistsites.org and ebay. One day, maybe I can be rich!

I hope everyone had a great New Year!
