Ok, time to start my goal-setting journal!! Which will sit alonside my Artist Way Pages journal and my Dream Journal!!! can you tell I like to journal?!! I often find I need to look back at what I have accomplished in a year to know how far I have come. When we do not keep track we tend to forget. this is only the beginning of april and I have more than doubled the no of commissions I got all last year. and the year before that I only had my first commission, now looking forward ...
I received a very exciting phone call from my art rep in Ct. She had taken two of my drawings in to be framed for her May show. Her usual framer closed so she had to go to the only other framer she knows, a gallery in NYC which also does framing (paintings sell upwards of $5k). When she went to pick up the drawings the owner asked who the artist is. "Does she always work in graphite like this?" We need an artist who works in this medium, can you get me some of her pieces to keep on display at the gallery?" . . . and so, I now am finding myself researching the details involved, i.e. commission, gallery's take, etc. I don't even know the name of the gallery yet, but will let you know if I sign on.
If you look at hi-end decorating magazines there seems to be more graphite/charcoal prints on walls for art. And this is the second place which has expressed a client based need for such pieces. I am getting so pumped! It kept me up working on a commission till 1am, something I have had no energy for in months!
