Check out my new site and my new work at yenigozler.com [link]

Here is a bit of info on what I been doing.
I have new eyes. I can see clearly now and believe this is the most significant work that I have produced in a long time. Eight years ago at the age of 40 I was told that I was developing cataracts. My eyes were getting worse and worse, but every time I went to the doctor he or she said, "They weren't ready yet."  I moved from Miami to Istanbul, taught art in a private primary school there, and painted. After 5 years teaching I left my job and devoted myself to my art full time.  

This past Fall I took a break from painting and stumbled around Ecuador half blind. I started to worry that it might be a more severe problem.  As a visually oriented person it is extremely dis-orienting not to be able to see well. When I came back to Turkey the doctor said, "It was only cataracts and they are ready." I had the operations and can now see better than I could since childhood.  It is difficult to explain as an artist what it means to have vision, to be able to see clearly.  But look into my eyes, look deep into my eyes and you will see a bit through them.

I had a show at an Istanbul Restaurant Sade Kahve, [link] and I stayed with a friend who does business and legal English consulting there. [link]

More Sex, Lies, and Web Sites
by John DAgostino, Eccentric Outsider Artist,
a.k.a. the John Dog

I found another nasty CIA Smear Report. Of course none of it is true. I also found something interesting when I checked my web stats for September. The MSN spider visited my site over 400 times. But even more interesting is that the US Government had 29 hits on my site. I didn't think there were 29 people in the US government who even knew what eccentric outsider art was. Makes you think, doesn't it? The report is printed below with my comments in brackets.

The "Anatomy of a Big Night Out with the John Dog" a CIA report

Research into the habits people who know the eccentric outsider artist John DAgostino [link] , a.k.a. The John Dog brought to light information that we long ago suspected. "What is most alarming of all is the fact that young women seem to be risking more than ever," said a CIA chief executive Jim Cousins. In the report, based on interrogations of people on 3 continents revealed that:

36% of women said they had been attacked after getting drunk with the John Dog.
<she hit me first>

34% of young women said they had had unplanned or unprotected sex [link] after drinking too much booze while drinking with the John Dog.
<she said she was on the pill>

59% of women said they had got into an argument with their boyfriends or husbands after drinking with the John Dog.
<she said she was unattached>

"Women are getting into more fights, more arguments and are being arrested or cautioned by the police more than young men who associate with the John Dog."
<CIA plot to cut off my babe supply>

47 % of women had been arrested or warned by the police compared to 16 percent of men who associate with the John Dog. <ditto, with FBI help>

20% of women had been injured because of an accident after getting drunk with the John Dog.
<women are always falling at my feet>

12% of men said they had faced a sex assault after drinking too much with the John Dog
<that's cause they can't get it the way I can>

83% of those questioned said they had taken a sick day off work after a big night on the booze with the John Dog.
<wussies>

33% of interrogated said they drank too much because they had a bad day or week at work and that the John Dog just happened to be in the same bar.[link]
<;people will say anything when their balls are in a vise>

Thanks, I have so much more to do in the uploading of deviations. It is almost a full time job. I really enjoy writing the descriptions because it reminds me of the fun I had making the piece and where my head "was" at the time. It a never ending adventure trying to figure out where my head "was" ir "is"
You can see plenty more of my work by going directly to some of my other sites. Keep spreading that good health message. John

You way monder - all these sites - does this guy have a life - answer - yes, it just doesn't include much sleep.
