so my digital pieces have been up at amy's for about a week and i have yet to have any sales.  i know that this is my first show in austin and i should be happy just to have them up, but i would also like to at least cover some of my costs for printing and framing.  i currently have each piece priced at $75. they are 8x8 prints matted in a 12x12 frame.  technically they are underpriced if you count cost of materials plus hours of work put into each piece, but i'm starting to wonder if i shouldn't sell them for less.  i asked a lot of people before i put up prices and $75 seemed to be a good number but it has yet to yield any results. i am feeling a little discouraged.  i'm open to any suggestions...please.

my show is up!  it looks great and hanging it was only a huge pain in the butt.  the wall at amy's is brick and has lots of holes in it already, but of course none of them are evenly spaced apart.  at one point i gave up on using nails and tried to use some mounting tape but that just resulted in a broken frame and lots of cussing.  thanks to dominic for sticking around to help me out!

now if only some my pieces will sell...

muchisima gracias to all my friends and family for checking out my new site.  i am running around like crazy trying to get ready for this show.  i am considering a casual opening event... mainly just inviting ppl to come hang out with me at amy's.  i'll let you know if i decide to do anything.

in other news... my volleyball team won our game last night. :)

i'm showing my digital prints this month at amy's.  here are details:
location:  amy's ice creams on 6th street, austin, TX
from:  may 9-31, 2008
hours: 11am-12pm
i have two new prints that will be up this month.  here is one of them...

BONUS: if you stop by on thursday or saturday night i will be there scooping ice cream!

so i'm pretty excited about this whole website thing.  it originally started as a project for my job.  i work for a non-profit called imagine art that helps artists with disabilities professionally access the arts.  and since a website is a necessity for any artist, i was assigned to research easy ways to build a site.  i tried a few but landed on weebly.  it is definitely the easiest and most accessible.  i can't wait to get some of our artists up and going on their own sites.
