New Market, new ideas..

Mon Mar 9, 2009, 7:48 AM
Vended at the Burford Family Market yesterday, it seemed to go well. I even had a gentleman apparently from the Oshwegan newspaper (apparently.. I didn't chat with him all that much, although he seemed rather interested in a brightly painted Salamander box I had done up.) but he made a point to take pictures of our table.

Which is always a good sign, by the way. When someone is interested in your products enough to actually take more then one photo of your setup - it means either they have plans on advertising for you.. or they just Really like your stuff. And both, as I said. Are good signs..

(which I still have to grab the pictures of my camera.. now that I'm thinking about it.)

So we did okay. I sold a small journal, and some of my crystals, but it seemed people were far more interested in Originals and seeing the products in our shop then just the few we brought with us to the market..

Originals.

See most of the time I either do my artwork straight onto my computer with my Wacom, or sell off the originals rather quickly. Now it seems I need to break out the paints and do up more originals rather quickly. Luckily I have canvas and wooden planks to use.. but this is going to mean I have to put a lot more time into painting.

A normal piece that would take me a few hours on the wacom, where I can work over large areas quicker - will take me days on large canvas because I have a larger surface to cover.

So.. this is seriously going to intervere with my job searching. Which I still need to do.. because with how things are -I still have bills to pay. And I'm not making enough to survive on right now as it is.

So, thats where I am at the moment. The large Sekhmet and Dragon painting I showed on this site will be shipped over to Kelly's Kandles this week as people were interested in seeing them. And I'll start on more.

Always something to do..

Light and Dark are both extremes, only from the shadows can we see both sides.
