August. Are you kidding me?

Well, it's August and I said I was going to become more involved with the Stratford Arts Guild, which I did. Good thing too because we have an actual marketing guru in the group now who has kindly offered to help us out. I am paying close attention because I need major guidance in this area of business myself.

My originals are going further afield these days. I have a couple of the Camelot Legends pieces in a show at Krab Jab stuidos in WA state for a couple of months. There will be another show there for the month of October with a Ouija Board theme. I'll be sending one of the prints on metal that Fine Art America supplies for that one. My Skeletal Geisha with Mask was originally designed as a book cover so there was enough extra room on it to put all the ouija board elements. If it doesn't sell, I'll let you know how it looks when I get it back.

There is also a big project afoot that several Magic artists are involved in that will require Kickstarter to fund. The piece is on the board now and due the beginning of November. I've had this image in mind for a while and this was just the boot in the butt I needed to get it started. I'll let you know more when I can say more about it.

Other than that, I have begun to make paper earrings featuring my artwork. I noticed at the Guild shows, that anyone who made jewelry always sold something. So I thought I'd give it a shot. Sure enough, at the next show I sold several pairs so I have expanded my empire to include jewelry. Another iron in the fire... You can see and purchase many of the pieces right here on FAA from the Paper Earrings gallery. Let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions.

So if you are in the WA area and you get a chance, go to Krab Jab studios for a terrific RPG show of original art and prints. You can see my Ouija Board image here.
