To quote a country song "It gets hard out here, I know it don't look it. I used to have heart, but the highway took it. The game was right, but the deal was crooked. Lord, I'll make it perfectly clear, it gets hard out here..."Such is the story for most of us artist types (ain't that the truth? – hey, did you notice that I've picked up a Southern drawl somewhere along the way? How'd that happen? lol!) So, to update you on what I've been up to the last few weeks... I've taken a moment to sit back and relax, and look at all that I've accomplished. I'm happy to announce that I now have close to 100 twitter followers, 185 facebook page followers, and I'm now selling my products on Society6. Not too shabby (if I don't say so myself). I've also had meetings with curators about potential art gallery opportunities, and I have a few illustration leads I'm following as well.
It's easy to get frustrated in the beginning when it seems like all you do all day is network, check emails, and mail out resumes.... not exactly my favorite pastime, but who knows, you might be different :)
Just a little tip I thought I'd pass on to you: Keep it simple. Look for opportunities to make your art (or music, or whatever) accessible to the public.
Good luck out there!
