First show ever

It was a fundraiser for the local art school and it suprised the hell out of me that so many women liked my work and bought it. Hence, the monster was born.

What are the best things about art fairs

The feeding frenzy that happens when people start buying, one sale leads to another and I start giving things away (really have to curb that)


Best show ever and why

Last Fall in the local park, weather was beautiful, my neighbors were great, customers were feeling good and they seemed to be thinking Christmas gifts and bought an excellent amount of my work. I can't tell you why, the economy sucked as much as it did this year, must have been the sunshine on our shoulders.


Worst show ever and why

Same time this year, same art show, same park, was a washout literally, stormed immediately after setup and of course no refund.
