Day 43 . 04 .06.2011

Deadlines

My deadline is the 1^st August 2011. Everything from the digital copies of my collection must be in to the artist statement/biography. I am very grateful, as I still have time to do the admin part , at my own pace. I don’t like being rushed; it prevents me from doing things properly and doing things of good quality.

I wish I have a financial advisor in this process, as the financial aspect of this is stressful and a bit confusing. Today I will be thinking long and hard about the prices for my pieces, and looking at a suitable price for both my markets and that will also be profitable to the artist , that being me.

Yesterday was a great day and so a little celebration was deserved. I went to the Word of Art gallery in Woodstock at the Industrial Centre. There was a screening of the film 'Beautiful Losers”, live art, sick bands and vj’s. The line up of talented performances was more than I could have asked for. The team behind last night’s event worked their asses (excuse the language) off. Shout out to my girl Anthea Duce, the curator, for bringing it all together.

Day 8 . 30.04.2011

Happy Saturday

Good news. I have a theme. It just came to me at the oddest time. I guess there is no specific time for a brainwave. I don’t think I should reveal it just yet. Infact I won’t. It’s way too early to be revealing such. I feel good again; I am on the right track. Things feel slow, but I know it should feel slow because I am only on day 8. Gemini’s are known for not being patient; therefore I have to constantly remind myself that despite the date, this is not a race. I am not competing with anyone and that I can relax.

There has been progress today. I called Robert Miller about printing and he said that he would forward me a price list. He focuses more on custom designed sizes for his clients, and so he would prefer that I call him when I am ready to print and then we can speak about prices then.

I know I will be paying a lot for these prints, because the size’s I am thinking of vary from A2 to sizes bigger than A0 (that’s a really big size). A collection of different sizes will result in varied prices which is what is needed for my market. I don’t know of many ‘young’ people who invest in art, so I am hoping after this exhibition that will all change.

Exposure gallery (in Woodstock at the Old Biscuit Mill)  is sending me a copy of their printing sizes and price’s later on today, so hopefully I can compare the two in time, and see which option works best for my pocket and my investor’s pocket.

Day 3 . 25.04.2011

It’s Day 3

I am exhausted from last night/this morning.  I only have Latoya, Lisa Robertson and Siba to blame. Cold Turkey was a jam as usual.  .It’s a Monday. The weather is terrible, so I will be spending the day in bed. As usual, the few errands must be attended too, but other than that I won’t be leaving my room.

I have assignments to do, a short and informative biography to complete and a list of a few people to call, like the printing company I use (Panascape Printing in Woodstock) owned by Robert Miller. There is so much to do, but my old friend procrastination ,seems to be getting the better of me these day's.

I deserve this. Peace
