Call for Artists, Making Money at Juried Art Fairs, Craft Shows and Festivals
FT. MYERS, HERE I COME--ARE YA READY?
Well, I am cranking away printing new work. I got 31 new images from my Keys trip to put out there at the show this weekend.
Last year, everybody pretty much killed them at this show, this year who knows.
I just looked at my January show totals--I did four and the results were not pretty. I am off by 50% over last year's gross. My numbers by size are down in half--and I did not sell even one big boy at $450. Makes me wonder if my photography is becoming irrelevant or if it is just the times we are in.
I will give a full report on Monday. Parker should be there too. So we will get another perspective from him, I believe it will be his first Fla. show this season. I hope he does well, and me too.
Anyways, here are some more good images to get you thru your day whether you be in snow in Seattle or sun in Palm Beach. Aloha, Nels.

sign of the times my friend. we found that you need to do double of the shows to match what we did the previous year.

Best of luck Nels!! We've got sun in Seattle today but I'm wishing for just a little bit of your warm Florida temperatures. Hope the show is another killer one for you this year.

In that case Robert, I guess I am going to have to do 72 shows this year--anybody know of a good cloning clinic?

Hope your show this weekend is brilliant and makes up for at least one January show!
