Lying to Tell the Truth is my new vlog. I am Tyson Crosbie and I've been a working artist for nearly 10 years. My main love is photography and specifically abstract expressionism. The show is about my thoughts and feelings about being an artist in the information age. Enjoy. Website

I talk a little bit about my concerns with the downturn in the economy. And then Chuck Reynolds makes a guest appearance on Lying to Tell the Truth. I finish the podcast optimistically.
The business of recording my own history as an artist. I've constantly got to protect the value of my work. Today I had to destroy a 1/1 photograph because it had a kink in it.
Community what is it online and off? Is it different? Is it the same? How do we facilitate real community again? Is it even important?
