ME IS NOW PROFESSIONAL ARTIST, HURF DURF
so, my dumb old print over at the Drawgasmic show sold tonight.
you see the group of pieces in the middle? that empty spot is where mine was. i noticed that and checked my email, and there you go! pretty cool, i think!
too bad i didn't even break even with it. it cost $35 to enter and i priced it at thirty, because it was a cheap print, i didn't even like it anyway, and didn't think it would sell if it was overpriced. a lot of stuff there was pretty pricey and therefore didn't sell. bad decision to market your 8x11 piece at $250 .... considering the gallery is/was attended by a lot of casual art fans and younger people, in the middle of a lower-income neighborhood. not exactly Sotheby's here, people. these pierced 20-somethings don't know your name from your Deviantart page, thanks.
i was going through dumb life issues when i had to enter a piece and ended up being very unhappy with it. wish i could have done better. there was a lot of talented people at that show. wish i could have stayed longer tonight, too! i wish, i wish, i wish.
anyway i guess the point of this is to say i feel pretty good that someone thought my artwork was good enough to spend $30 on it. that's pretty all right, i guess!
by the by, according to someone from a comment book at the show, digital art isn't "real" art. so you better put away those tablets and Photoshop, ok? Professor Real Art Expert is in town!
today was kind of a bad day, full of depression and bad thoughts, even though a lot of nice things happened, too. i guess i have bad brain waves going today. really been needing someone to talk to lately. oh, well.
