Makes me feel like I'm back in school again, but with less time to do it, lol. I've got another collection of magnets up in my Etsy store and I'm feeling pretty good about it. I've got my entry form for the Tri-State Art Guild that I'm going to send in on Monday (another goal checked off my list! YAY). And I've got a commission for a set of five magnets. I'm excited. I'm also rearranging my home studio to make it a little easier for me to work. What would be best is overhead lighting, bigger windows, ventilation, and storage. Oh, and more space.... One can dream, right?
I hope I can maintain this fervor for kick-starting my 'art business'. I probably shouldn't put it in quotes since I am serious about wanting to sell my art and be successful at it. I have been reading lots of articles about how to go about it. It seems daunting and scary, but I can do it. I'll need help, but I can do it. My head is kind of spinning with all that has to be done: get pieces professionally appraised, find a gallery, get to know said gallery, propose business deal with gallery if pieces fit the 'feel' of said gallery...get shows. Find collectors. Try to get known. I found that there is a gallery in Newburgh, IN (a town next to Evansville) that actually sells James Gurney!! O.O He's the "Dinotopia" guy!! I have two of his books on my shelf right now that I still read because they are beautiful. Better yet, that means that the gallery sells 'fantastical' art...my kind of art...must pay a visit to that gallery soon.
I'll post more later. Even if nobody reads this, at least it will help me keep my thoughts straight.
