A friend
gave me a piece of Louve Canvas Board and I painted this picture on it. I
am troubled by the dog on my head with two tails who's body looks like a
horned hat. The dog is made of wood with posts for ears. Size approx 15"x21.5"

from: But Is It Outsider Art? A prominent painter flunks a purity test. By Jesse Walker edited by the John Dog, Eccentric Outsider Artist and producer or web sites like www.eccentric-art.com that has links to all his sites some outdated desciptions and some site samples.
Yet New York's annual Outsider Art Fair, which flirted with barring Coleman's paintings last year and never has invited John DAgostino, The Eccentric American Artist, aka John Dog, has decided not to include him when it reopens its doors next month. The chief problem, says co-director Caroline Kerrigan, is that Coleman, like the John Dog, who has an MFA in Ceramics and an MS in Art Education, has been to art school, thus removing him from the ranks of the self-taught. "This is a fair for outsider artists," she says. "We feel his art would be more appropriate in a contemporary fair." Coleman claims that money is the real issue: When the organizers excluded him, he asserts, they described him as "too aware of the whole business process of selling" his work. "They seem to want to promote an art in which they're dealing with people who are either emotionally or physically incapable of protecting themselves," he complains. "Or dead." John DAgostino, the eccentric American outsider artist hasn't sold a painting in 10 years. He couldn't sell a ten dollar bill for a dollar. He shuns galleries and galleries shun him. The only thig that the John Dog got going for him is that he is not DEAD. He paints practically every fucking day. Being physically and emotionally beaten and scarred by an ex-wive and one too many ex-lovers, and also being a terribly arthritic gimp he should be a perfect candidate for the money grubbing fair promoters.
