Shows are up- great turn out- picking up the pieces

Successful show! very happy! I was able to reconnect with some people I hadn't seen for years, and I am planning to reconnect with more as time goes on. Devon, a friend, suggested I vary the size more. Like some of them need to be much, much larger- while some could be groups as smaller pieces. I like that and ordered a 20x30 pearl giclee already. I had one 20x30 ready for the show, but I cropped it wrong and couldn't hang it.
Now I need to close some of the business ends...

Canvas Gallery wraps- wow

I send out 2 images to the printer and had them make me "canvas gallery wraps". I didn't know what to expect- I already liked the prints (pearl rocks) and didn't know if it was really that important to make canvas wraps, since they are much more expensive. Well,...little did I know. No need for a frame, since the canvas wraps around. No mat, no glass- nothing. They appear very much like paintings, and "breath" like a canvas does. I am very excited about this.

craigslist : art experience

...ahhh, where to start. Let's start with the funny but insulting that caused me to investigate what type of art I am actually making. Craigslist. I placed 2 adds on craigslist (hey, it's free and why not?). One was deluxe touch-up of your photos, with the example of the 19 century metal photo of Larry's family that I restored. -all I got was spam-.
The other was more experimental, "Everlasting Art from your photograph". ..it's like you got a photo that means something to you and I'll turn it into a digitalized painting or print that can be printed on photo paper (large if desired 20x30 and more) or on canvas.
I am not a marketing person, and trying to explain what I am talking about is even harder, I mean I am experimenting. Of course it is more of a commercial service than fine art, it is someone elses photograph...I had to call it something..
-most of what I got was spam....BUT one wasn't!
"I wanted to vomit looking at your add" gasp ? who=what-why??? Is it that repulsing? Am I totally delusional? I mean, I know I have always been "out there" but generally I do walk the line between reality and fantasy. hmmmmm
So after investigating who she was and where she was coming from (used her personal email address with website address), photographer- cheesy- probably mid 20s with a personal interest, I needed to find out if what I am doing is considered art or not..well, I know I shouldn't care, I wrote an article on web art for "Renaissance 2001" in 2000, I would do it even if it wasn't art but hey- "vomit"?
