This the final part of what I think before the season start.
As the first show comes and goes, I am writing the final part. I finish East Lansing Art Festival and walk out of there happy. I was not expecting to much out this show but I reach my goal and little more. Now the real test starts. Each month for here now I got 3 shows per month. From East Lansing I realize what it will take do for me to be successful. I realize the social media is source to promotion and a source find the negatives of the art shows. I realize while I will like to chat with other artist at the shows I should only walk away from my booth to eat lunch or bathroom break. I realize that before every show I need to work in promotion and marketing. I realize that need to keep producing new work every week.
The most important thing is to be polite to fellow artists and remember even I belong to a great community at the end is just all about me. I am the only one responsible for my success and more important my failures.
What it means to most in the life I choose is that I can let down the people that help me one way or other (Munks, Nels, Barry, Carla, Larry B, James P, Marie J, Connie, Therese, Carole, Mom and somebody very special to because every time I sit down in my computer to work I see his work Richard LaMartina). Is funny Richard I never see myself doing this type of work and every time I take a picture for this series I think of you old friend and tears come to my eyes because you are not here anymore.

You will always do just fine because you are doing creative work that your heart is in to. The best time in life is our family, our work, being creative and meeting and making friends that we enjoy spending our time with.
Good luck Oscar, will see you at the Boardwalk. Trust me, you can have time to walk away from your booth (I do it all the time) if people really love what you have they will come back again and buy when you are there. Stay loose, and mellow. Nels.
