Back to School

Simon felt like he was coming back from summer vacation for the filming of Season 2.

October 12, 2011

It was a wonderful and at the same time also slightly odd feeling to get back to filming for Season 2 of Work of Art. I was very happy to see my colleagues again from Season 1. China Chow was as radiant as ever and is an outstanding host. She oozes charm and is an artist magnet in real life. She is totally implicated in the show and takes the elimination of every artist very much to heart. Jerry Saltz is at the top of his form for this new season. His sharp judgment is both feared and respected by the contestants. Bill Powers conveys his passion for contemporary art and has a killer sound bite for every situation. I do very much miss Jeanne Greenberg this season, but I do look forward seeing her as a guest judge in future episodes. It also is a pleasure to work again with the highly professional teams of Magical Elves and Pretty Matches. As I do have a fairly busy life in between, I feel it is like centuries ago that we were filming Season 1. So I felt a little bit like coming back to school after a very long summer break.

first of all well comeback again!
I like the show because I feel connected to it. Another thing is my passion to be part of the show is one of my greatest wishes

I am a judge...

The show makes commercials tolerable. Hopefully, the artists will keep to true form and do not develop into disgraceful characters within the show.

Truthfully, I would love to showcase my skills on the show but am comfortable and confident that I will make an impact on significant critiques elsewhere.

Truly, I am a skilled artist with real passion for impacting those around me in all mediums life has offered me. Art school was explored after winning top price in scholarship money.

However, I felt that the portfolio itself was not as significant as the connection I had to the judges on the panel. Perhaps I was wrong then, but still I left art school behind as I knew it would feel tainted until I could find my way back on my own. I then committed myself to eighteen months at sea in the Persian Gulf.

Back now, I am in school studying criminal justice, philosophy and logic with an interest in law school but my passion is still in art. If the degree or the means to travel elsewhere were available, I would be studying art today.

The challenge to make an impact on any significant figure is always important.

im glad you;re back! I love this show!!

I missed you Simon!

love the show!!!!! Could not stop watching the first season shows all in one day! I'm an artist. How can I get on the show?
