Yulee Railroad Days

For something entered at fairly short notice, despite a couple of untoward yet minor incidents, and perhaps because of some problems with other peoples dogs, we consider Yulee Railroad Days www.yuleerailroaddays.org this past weekend an unmitigated success.

Been a goal for a while to show (and sell) my artwork, along with Herself's, and to that end the past few years I've been gaining experience if not sales going to Necronomicon in October. As a brief aside, I'm planning on being there again this year. This, however, is an indoor show along with the Con. Certainly I'm open to other Cons and will (albeit slowly) pursue that as well, there is another venue which is weekend art festival type events. Yulee Railroad Days fits into that category at least generally, and is quite local to me making the logistics easy and a good choice to begin with Outdoor Shows.

( Rather More the Business Side )

( Untoward Events With Other People's Dogs )

So. Summary over all. Pavilion works. Display needs re-configuration and some expansion, new table(s) for both of us since we set up at two separate events this day. Need a larger stock of framed pieces available to fill the hole made when (if) sales occur of framed pieces. Matted stock takes care of itself, and want to separate the mat displays into larger, middle and smaller sizes. Signage OK, wants improvement. Prices we displayed in Herself's portfolio book which is how she's been showing work at Haile, wants a separate sign for the Art Booth.

And I sold a piece. One. Which is Greater than Zero.

A Bit from Yulee Days

Took Popper with me to the event. There is a long precedence for this with members of the Otterz Mob; Fat Fred started it years ago. Otterz love social events, don't you know.



This one done with the iPhone camera, then a bit of post-production though not with an iPhone app.

And, because terriaminute mentioned something about portfolio and t-shirts in the previous post, a few selections in the vein that I thought of following that comment and request. I allow, now, after thinking some on it that these selections are based on my interpretation of the question without verifying exactly what she was asking...

Well, actually, the skulls thought came first, and the two Otterz afterwards, mostly because we do both know that particular peculiar Otterz.
