Hayabusa Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Great success!! I have been accepted into 2 group shows already. Would've been 3 but the plan didnt quite work out. Ive been keeping up on many current local shows and on the people who put them on, so things have been going pretty good. I will make another thread with photos and shit. Anyways, I plan on getting into as many as I can this year, and also plan on making lots of art in my spare time. This would not have been possible without the internet and some artsy friends with the same goal. Hoorah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShortFuse Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 great news indeed. You have some nice work to go into the show as well if you plan using what youve posted so far. Love the watercolors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bojangles Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 A winner is you. Just don't do EVERY show that comes along locally. People will get sick of your work quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayorMeanBeans Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 i gotta start doing this too. haya/bojangles/anyone else: do you guys approach fellow artists who take you in, do you approach gallery owners/art dealers, do you have a mentor of sorts who has connections?

Hayabusa Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 A winner is you. Just don't do EVERY show that comes along locally. People will get sick of your work quick. not to worry This year, I will want to do as many as I can (which will likely be one every two months or so) No one has REALLY seen my work anyways, so I figure i'll be safe for now. After that, I don't know. My work and style is always changing, unlike some people I have seen who just do one thing forever... as for approaching people I learned of these shows by friends telling me about them. Thanks to facebook and the internet, I was able to track down who puts them on and email submissions and inquire about them. These are by no means massive big time things, but I figure its a good way to get my foot in the door for the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joker Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Congrats busa! Make the most of every show. Don't get comfortable and produce work just for a gallery show. It sounds silly to say but if you think about it, it makes sense. Make art for the love of making art, and if a show comes along, then you've got your stockpile. I'm getting back into the game myself but very, very slowly. Jaded once... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
