One question I pondered for the new year is:
“How can I share my work with & allow people without large amounts of wall space to collect my art work?”
As an artists am I not expected to think outside the box - or frame? Of course one needs to be careful not to ‘cheapen’ their work especially when doing limited editions. Often I receive ‘Wow!s’ & ‘I love your work’ only to followed by - ‘if I only had wall space’. Occasionally I’m honored when someone tells me they use one of my images as wallpaper/background on their computer screen :)
So, really, ‘is my artwork only to be displayed on walls?’
- am I an ‘Artist or Wall Decorator?’
For 2010, I look forward to not only bringing you intriguing images, but interesting & accessible ways to enjoy and collect my artwork. Although not groundbreaking by any means, here are a some ‘products’ I am looking into:
* Pendants - small versions of selected works embedded into metal pendant frames for wine glass charms, hung together on leather string, even wearable, etc.
* Themed Coffee Table Books & screen-savers - (like old trucks), series
* Licensing - have had authors & such inquire about using some of my images.
If you are an enterprising fan of my work, let me know. I will address these request a little better this year.
* Puzzles? several request for these as well.
Please remember my fine art prints, especially larger limited edition canvases, are my primary product focus.
Networking with fans & collectors is also priority - so, as always, if you have thoughts or requests please comment. One note though, please limit ’suggestions’ to things you would seriously be interested in ;)
Thanks! :)
