The Needle

Claire Chambers directed me to an article up on The Needle by the super duper talented Robyn Fabsits about how to get paid, etc. for participating in a show. She rest assured me that this was not a hint. I would like to add that, for myself anyways, that I am a one woman ordeal. No excuses but I am. I get busy and I am more than happy to get a hey, what's up email. No need to be mean but friendly reminders are nice. I even have to send out reminder emails at times saying "hey, ummm don't you want your money". I know we all get busy and I do think I am finding my way in this whole "i own a business" thing but sometimes we all need a little push. So if you are interested or concerned just send out an email first. I think it's awful when folks lie and say your work was NOT sold when it was. That's just dishonest and nutty. Anyways, enough ramble.

I just felt that because my name was attached to this show, I don't need to name them they know who they are, that I needed to do something. I hope this can at least help people in the future.

Thanks so much for helping spread the word! I think a lot of us are artists first, and business-minded only when forced. Hopefully this will help a little. ^-^
(And yes...most assuredly NOT a hint- Plush You is great when it comes to this stuff!)
