Hi Michelle,
I think you're right. I can forego the word Unconventional. I guess defining as Unconventional isn't necessary. I'll just paint the way I paint. Either they like my work for what it is or they don't. I guess it should speak for itself.

I thought the cropped images have more impact than full portrait images. When I put lots of portraits on the brochure it looks like a busy catalog. I picked up some brochures at the art show last weekend. Too many images are as bad as too many words. I agree they won't read all that info. But maybe just two larger portrait images inside?

I'll work on that. Ok, no green shapes. It looks naked and stark on plain white to me. Maybe I'll work on getting the portrait images and typestyle to compensate for the naked white. I'll let you know how it turns out.

I used to buy JFM frames when I had a tax number. I found quarterly returns and record-keeping unbearably troublesome and gave up my tax number, so JFM won't sell to me any more. But I can find frames elsewhere.

Thanks for your suggestions.
