I’ve been a drawing machine lately and it feels soooo good. Between making lots of small drawings on my lunch break AND I started on this one big fine line drawing, art making is back in full swing!
The blue with the neon pink on top is electric! I was drawing last night so this photo doesn’t do it justice; I can tell this is going to be a good one when all is said and done.
I also drew these recently:
I had a market last week and got to show off all my lunch break drawings, they had good reception. My four new postcards went over well, too.
However, I do wonder how I turn the, “Oh my goodness! I love these! This is so funny! Amazing! These are hand drawn? Wow!…” into a purchase. My postcards come in at $4 and folks stand at my table laughing and talking about how they’d like to send this one or that one to so and so…and then they walk away.
I really enjoy sales and am not shy to engage with my customers, but what is the selling point I can get these folks to drop $4? That is my quest! I’ll get them to lean into the joy they find in these and go on ahead and send those funny postcards to so and so.
My lunch break drawings are another beast. At $25 for an original the selling point is different because they have to address where to put it and how to hang it. I’d like to solve how to get these into people’s hands; folks really love them.
The best way to be a successful and selling artist? Keep making art. The reason others are successful is because they never quit. If you’re not here, working hard, you’ll never find that day when it all just clicks.
A Good Cunt
