I need to get rid of it because I'm buying a trailer. Art fairs have been very good to me and it's time. 5x8 covered. I'm going to Big O's today to price them out.
Speaking of Art Fairs. I love the Agora Art Fair in Fitchburg. Anytime a guy can come into my booth and literally say "I want that and that and that and this and those two". It's going to be a good day. (all of my new man cave art B17s, F16s, Submarines). When I can sell a big piece before I'm even open and the woman said "I came here just to see YOU". It's going to be a wonderful day.
The star of the day was my image of Cave Point. Before I sold the big one I had 4 or 5 people asking for smaller prints (which I did not have any of because no one ever buys them). Finally a woman is looking around and very quietly says "I'll take it". WHAT? no story? No selling? And she had never been there. Did not have a clue where it was. The funny thing is that a person pointed out I missed getting rid of one cigarette butt and it was all I could see once he pointed it out.
And AGAIN - people really wanted my images of Miller Park. I had ONE and as I was selling it a guy asked it I had another one!! WTF!! I sold like ONE last year and this year every show I sell one thinking it's an anomaly.
Balderdash asked me what I sell most of and besides the big 4 Madison shots it's really all over the board which drives me crazy. The one hot big piece is the Sunset over ice shot which has been selling every show.
ANYWAY - that's my story and I'm buying a trailer.
Two more shows this year - New Glarus which I have never been to Sept 2nd and Sun Prairie Main Street Sept 8th. I was told to try Holy Hill which I'll look into next year and two are coming off my schedule, Stoughton and Deforest.
OOPS - just got an email - gotta deliver a 22x48 to Madison today. I LOVE Walker for making me quit early! Better go.
