Today we had a family field trip to Bergamot Station in Santa Monica, CA. We saw some great work. It's nice to see people working in art and making a living as full time artists. We saw some limited edition Mark Ryden, crazy cool, this guy came out of Juxtapose Magazine, he is part of an art movement called "fantastic realism", he has MADE it in the art world. Check out his stuff http://www.markryden.com ! His original paintings are so sought after that you can't even get them, in fact you can barely get a hold of his limited prints. Heidi Seidner of the James Gray Gallery said there were 10,000 people on his wait list for a specific print and that he only made 50. Wow, I am now beginning to see how the contemporary art world works. Thanks for your time today Heidi we enjoyed speaking with you.
When we spoke of what artists can do to promote themselves she showed us her website http://www.artla.com. She said we need a website, check, got it! She said Facebook, also, check! She also said that I should make a video. Funny you say that Heidi, because my wife is a documentary film maker AND she has already started!!!
It was a great and inspiring day. I am so jazzed I'm going back into the studio to start Native 146. Thanks for reading, thanks for meeting up with us Lisa, Anne & Bennett good to see you all, signing off...
