Today is the last day to vote for me and my work in the #seemetakeover creative project. What is it? 

The first 500 people to earn 1,000 points by July 11th will have their name and work take over the entire 25-story-tall billboard!  I'm already in the running. I need 384 more points for the Ghost Horse and 179 more points for Ripple of H2O!!!

Points are made off of sold t shirts, postcards, and "likes" of your work for that particular work that you are trying to get seen. If you have the time or the funds to support me, I would be filled with joy just knowing you have my back! You can click HERE for the Ghost Horse and HERE  for Ripple of H2O. If you are having any problems with supporting me, PLEASE don't hesitate to drop me an email, tweet me or message me on Facebook and I will be more than happy to either walk you through the process. 

Networking: virtual vs reality

This morning I opened up my email to find my newsletter from Alyson B Stanfield, the artbizcoach. She talked about how networking face to face pays off and gave 5 networking essentials. This article hit close to home. I don't know about you, but I get consumed with social networking and tend to forget how important it is to go to those Friday night gallery nights or getting involved in a community art program. I am especially guilty since I live in a rural area. It's not easy for me to be very social (face to face). Although I do understand the significance to your creative business and I actually do miss it sometimes. When I lived in a city, I really enjoyed going to all the art openings, seeing my friends, and meeting new artists. Reading Alyson's article gave me the nudge I needed to step it up a notch. I'm going to try harder to be more involved in the art community and make it a point to attend those 1st Friday night gallery openings. Thanks Alyson!

And I hope you haven't forgotten about the 101010 Project!

Starting May 1st you are invited to follow 10 women and the insight to their businesses.
