I think the stuff in his message is mostly in planning stages. If anything were a "done deal" - we'd hear specifics. A lot of those ideas are long-range - 3 to 5 year plans....

Plus: he hasn't been back from Toronto for long ... he's been working (acting) almost non-stop since GG ended. He may have had more time on his hands in Vancouver than 2000 to 1st half of 2007 ... but not enough to make lots of headway on all those ideas and dreams - esp. outside L.A. And he's got 14 different things in the hopper (plus or minus...!)

As far as art gallery showings - I don't think so. If he signed with a gallery, his art would be listed on their website; there would be an opening ... it would be a news item (maybe a brief - but still!) In that case, he wouldn't be contemplating art sales directly on the net. From his mentioning that idea, I infer that he hopes to eliminate "the middle man". That may or may not turn out to be a good idea - for many of the same reasons he doesn't represent himself as an actor.

I'm believe that if/when his art is exhibited in a gallery, esp. if it's in L.A., it'll receive some press ... and he'll probably give us a heads-up ... one way or another, we'll know! Just 'cause someone has created some paintings or artwork doesn't lead to an automatic gallery exhibit. There's a whole process of establishing "cred" leading up to that ... it can take a long time.
