undiscoveredartist

Here is another installment of my cartoon, Gettin’ Fame’d which highlights the thoughts that go through my mind when I think about promoting my work and all the hurdles I have to jump through.

 I consider art buying behavior to be somewhat of a mystery. I can think of the grossest painting, and be shocked that there are a hundred people coveting it. Then I can think of the most beautiful image a person can create, and it will sit there unappreciated.

 It makes you wonder, have we all become Paris Hilton when it comes to collecting art? Maybe we are just divas who specifically look for what will match. That begs the question, should the environment match the art or should the art match the environment? What do you think?

 I also know people who only want one sort of painting. I was once told on one of my paintings that if I would have just chosen another color the art would sell. Now, how would I know this? When I create, I just go with it. I am not thinking it has to match your drapes when I make it.

I know that when it comes to decorating, and it may seem kind of silly, but I like to find a muse and center the rest around that one object. That is just the way that I am.
