Put your money where your mouth is, when it comes to art and claiming that it going to benefit to do a benefit or a fundraiser amongst the rich and famous. The majority wants it free or cheaper than the average poor folk. They may act like their interested in purchasing giving you a song and dance having you do bids for them wasting your time so they can look important best advice do not waste your time going after them. I find it the ones who really buy works of art may in fact be just the passer buyers and the chances of someone who is rich and famous want to invest they want it to pay off latter by selling it when you go up in the art world very rarely do they buy it because it moves them. I have been screwed by most of them I have worked with spending money,energy and time I should have not spend in trying to convince them to purchase my art. In LA it is a hard sell these days for artist in fact in this market it’s hard on all of us. We are all scrabbling to support our creations to even make more. I gather it’s kind of a good thing though it will weed out the want to bees who are younger and made profit but the test of time of endurance and strengths to support their art can weaken them cause to not wanting to continue. Thus leaving it to the ones that have earned the rights to those who have endured for years making and sharing their art for purchase. However it is the responsibility is the artist who makes it available to the population. Which can be difficult on its own merit with the montage of over visualization coming from media and advertising that confuses the public with the pureness of artistic creations. It may be more than difficult at times weeding through it all for our works to find a place where it stands out on their own merit but with persistence we can achieve the difficult task of finding homes for our creations who are our children. That we have given the breath of life into them for you should Never Ever give Up on Your artistic creations! And you should never cheapen them by selling your works cheaper just because they are rich and famous. How do think they got their in the first place anyway?
