Exhibiting - Venues

well, the coffee shop/book store/gallery place decided to go with the original artist they had scheduled for june. this is actually the, "right thing to do". apparently, they had booked an artist for the space in june and were beginning to have doubts that she could pull it off. they wanted to know if i would be interested to take her place. of course. the hard part of prepping the artwork is all but finished. i would only need to make some prints and frame them up.

so, i started to get really excited about exhibiting in just a few months. but talking to them this week, they seem to think that she'll be able to pull off the show, so they want to know if i would be interested in their next available month which is January 2009. 2009?!? that's like... next year! i hate not having instant gratification anymore. the internet has decimated my patience. but i'll take it and it'll serve to give me focus over the next couple months, carefully planning out shots that i think will work well as a collection to show in january.

in the meantime, there is the Lehigh Valley Skin Industry Invitational. I'm thinking of reserving a booth there since i've goto so much tattoo themed work. for now, i'm thinking to concentrate on showing some fine art pieces along with some portrait work. the goal would be to sell some prints-only (unframed, in poly envelopes) cheap. framed prints at an affordable price. then try to sell some portrait bookings as well.
