Good subject. The main problem I've had selling is getting the art in front of the buyer. I like to work huge and I'm sure i could have my own show easily (there's about a million galleries here in L.A.). The problem I'm really faced with is $. LightJet prints aren't cheap and a 6x10 footer is more than $1200. I don't have $15,000 sitting around for printing. Coffee shops, etc., are great places to get it seen and even sold, especially if the store gets a cut. The chances of it getting thrashed is fairly high, especially if they rotate the stuff through. Of the dozen or so I've sold, it's been through personal meetings. Me, the buyer and my "portfolio". I then take an order and the production house delivers the product, since they have a truck that can hold it. I've taken my books (13x19 ring-type binders) to several galleries. The owners expressed interest, but I have to HAVE the art to hang, and they won't commission any. I'd leave the books, but the 60 or so pieces I have in that format cost nearly $1000 and I'd need a bunch of books to cover even some of the galleries. Later this month I'm taking 12 printed as greeting cards to the gift show convention to try to find a publisher. Anything to try to get it out there. Just a few thoughts. Dave Reed
