Art Marketing Buzz

Angel Grady is a digital painting that I will be using in an experiment in social networking. The basic jest of this experiment will be to build a mailing list from scratch over a 3 month period. Then with this list sell some prints from a limited edition piece I have that has not been on the market. I have not put all the details together yet but I know it will be called “Project Angel” and I know the piece I will be selling. There will be some other goodies with it. It will be fun and informative. The image profiled was produced with Adobe photoshop, Corel Painter and the idea is to use web 2.0 or social media marketing to sell this piece of digital art. Stay tune!

If you have not read David Bayles and Ted Orlands book, Art and Fear, Observations On The Perils (and Rewards) of Artmaking) you should. This book will take you on an introspective journey. It will ask you questions that matter. What is your art really about? Where is it going? What stands in the way of getting it there? Here is a what is written on the back of the jacket.

These are questions that matter, questions that recur at each stage of artistic development-and they are the source for this volume of wonderfully written incisive commentary.
