It ain't easy, but it sure is fun.
Got new business cards for the Gallery Tour last Saturday- as you can see one side is yours truly at 4 months old- the art pimp. So, what is an art pimp? Well to a degree, if you create and sell what you make, then you are a pimp of sorts. But unlike regular pimps, with art it really is like pimping your children out, never to see them again. I dunno about you, but I feel so much more at ease selling work to someone that I get a good vibe off of instead of relegating the hours I put in on canvas to couch decoration.... That said, bills have to be paid, and we all have to tap-dance sometimes for the man. What are your thoughts?

ReplyDeleteI think I'm more of a soft-shoe kinda gal, but I'm with you all the way. When a complete stranger talks about how great my art will look over their sofa, as they hand me a check, I cringe. I'd much rather create something for someone I have warm fuzzies for.
ReplyDeletehey, I met you at Flying Monkey a couple months ago. I had your business card, wanted to check out your site. And thanks for letting me have those paint semples. Great stuff :)
