Glorious daffodils on a lovely spring day at Cox Arboretum in Dayton, Ohio. This was entered in a song challenge last year on another website and when I was considering what to enter, I saw this photo and the song from the musical “West Side Story” immediately came to mind. I liked it so much, I kept the title. This is one of my favorite images. Canon A720 IS / f/4 / 1/125 sec. / April 2008 / minor cropping and slight sharpening © Rachel Stickney 2008 / ~~ / Narcissus is the botanic name for a genus of mainly hardy, mostly spring-flowering, bulbs in the Amaryllis family native to Europe, North Africa, and Asia. There are also several Narcissus species that bloom in the autumn. Daffodil is a common English name, sometimes used now for all varieties, and is the chief common name of horticultural prevalence used by the American Daffodil Society. The range of forms in cultivation has been heavily modified and extended, with new variations available from specialists almost every year. All Narcissus species have a central trumpet-, bowl-, or disc-shaped corona surrounded by a ring of six floral leaves called the perianth which is united into a tube at the forward edge of the 3-locular ovary. The seeds are black, round and swollen with hard coat. The three outer segments are sepals, and the three inner segments are petals. Though the traditional daffodil of folklore, poetry, and field may have a yellow to golden-yellow color all over, both in the wild species and due to breeding, the perianth and corona may be variously colored. Breeders have developed some daffodils with double, triple, or ambiguously multiple rows and layers of segments, and several wild species also have known double variants.

Yes, You Can Sell Your Art
by sellingThe Selling articles detail tactics and marketing channels that you can use to sell your art an…
The Selling articles detail tactics and marketing channels that you can use to sell your art and design. And while we’ve received great feedback about these practical tips and tricks, this is a good juncture to step back and discuss the mindset and culture of selling art. As a photographer and printmaker, I wish that people would simply see and buy my work. And sometimes this happens. However, an impulse purchase is counter to how many art sales happen. Most enthusiasts and collectors want the same emotion from the art buying experience that they get from from the viewing experience—a connection, a feeling, a memory, an aspiration, etc. After all, relationships sell art. So, what does it take to sell your art? A sampling of RedBubble members that have demonstrated a dedication to this pursuit shared these thoughts. 1. Have confidence and a hint of modesty. You created the artwork or the design and that’s amazing—embrace it. A simple “thank you” can address a compliment. Janis Zroback publishes some very good journal articles about art and selling theory. 2. Talk the talk. Buyers are interested in your background and the story behind the artwork. Feel confident in chatting about your work. Also, ask the viewer questions; get them invested in the work in order to further their interest. If you’re uncomfortable at first, practice your 10-second pitch with a friend or family member. It also helps to have supportive ‘agents.’ Karin Taylor has friends and family members that act as her representatives. Says Karen, “My family members are my biggest advocates. They run out of my business cards all the time and ask for replenishment. They have the guts to go where I am afraid to go and put my case forward, and they do it in a great way, very conversational, without all the nerves.” Karin does a great job herself here on RedBubble, and offers a live chat link from her profile page. This reminded me of a comment last week by Tom Baumker. Tom hands out dozens of business cards per day. Tom meets many sales leads where he photographs “on location.” 3. Join customers on common ground. It’s worthwhile to “join your audience.” Scott Robinson recommends, “I’m a member of a lot of different sites based around things I love. Namely skateboarding and comics – two things that a lot of my work consists of and revolves around. I don’t use these places as somewhere to promote myself, but as an active part of those communities, I do build up relationships there and can make posts of my art (and links back to RB) wherever appropriate. Using discretion of course—no-one likes spam. You have to respect the communities you’re a part of.” 4. Walk the walk. Scott Robinson and Diesel Laws wear their work constantly. For print artists, use greeting cards or printouts to advertise your work. You can print your work on ink jet sticker, label, perforated business card, or photo paper. Pass along these samples at parties or other public events. Marketing doesn’t need to be expensive. Or, simply hang the work on your wall. Bruce Watson noted, “I have actually sold it – Cell Phone – as an RB framed print also, but not on RedBubble. A visitor to my home liked it so much they bought it off the wall!” And finally, 5. Challenge yourself. Entering challenges not only improves your exposure on RedBubble – which encourages feedback and interaction with others – but it also says that you believe in your work. Winning a challenge would be nice, but entering is the first step. As I stated before, selling is a marathon and not a sprint—just like the creative process. Matt Simner captured this best when he said, “Self-promotion is a constant voyage of discovery. I believe a fair percentage of exposure I’ve got (which has overall increased views, etc.) has been a by-product of me just doing what I do naturally (sharing information, giving encouragement, trying to help), rather than explicitly ‘trying’ to get more exposure. Of course when you realise that’s the result, it gives you more ideas…” Please add your thoughts on selling below. Selling isn’t easy for everyone (for most people really), so I hope that this article makes you feel in good company and gives you some inspiration to keep going with it. And one last thing. Thanks to the members that contributed above. I reached out to many other artists whose feedback I’ll note in future posts. I welcome any other thoughts, case studies, tips, tricks – anything you want to share as related to selling. Thank you. Regards, / Jason p.s.

Art Exhibitions - Yes you can!

As aspiring artists, we can often find the mere thought of organising an exhibition is enough to send us hyperventilating into our emergency brown paper bags. For those who have never exhibited their work, the whole process can appear to be a bit of a mystery. So I thought it might be good to write up a basic getting started guide to help de-mystify what is involved with setting up an exhibition. We have some fantastic talent here on Redbubble and it would be wonderful to see more people getting out there in the big wide world showing off their art. Being a part of an exhibition can do wonders for your self confidence. It doesn’t have to be costly, and it doesn’t matter where you live, there are always people who will be interested in art. It’s a bit scary trying to start off with a solo exhibition, so why not first reach out to your biggest source of inspiration, your fellow bubblers, and look at doing something as a group? Many hands make light work, will help to keep the cost down, and think of the new friendships you can make, not to mention the multiple brains you can pick for information and new techniques. When looking for local Redbubblers there are lots of localised area groups and if you can’t find one for your area, why not start one? Once you have found a bunch of bubblers who want to join you on your exciting adventure, you will need to organise a get together. Jo’s journal on How to organise a meet up is chock-a-block full of useful tips on how to make your meet up a success. At your meet up you can thrash out things like: Your gallery space: Town hall, cafe, pub, bookstore, local arts centre, tourist information centre… anywhere there is space to hang art on walls and/or put up pegboards or partitions. Remember, the more centrally localised your venue is, the more “walk by” traffic you will get. Establishing some dates: It’s always good to try to include a weekend, or you could time your exhibition dates to coincide with a local area event so there will already be lots of people wandering around town. Try to make the times you are open suitable for most of the artists to be there – visitors love to speak to the creators of the work they are viewing. Theme: Your theme will set the tone for your exhibition and tie all of the artwork together. It will also help you out with a name. It doesn’t matter if you all share the same style of art or not, mixed media exhibitions can be fantastic, however it is good to have a theme, even if it is a fairly loose one. Opening Night: Are you going to have one? If so are you going to provide refreshments? Will everyone bring a plate, will you have it catered or will you charge a small entry fee to cover costs? Will there be any speeches? Peg out a rough guide for how you would like the event to unfold. Advertising: The more you advertise your exhibition, the more people will turn up – simple. Make up some flyers/posters and plaster them around town. Shopping centres, libraries, school newsletters, the local RSL… anywhere there is a bulletin board you want to see your flyer on it! Getting a nice little write up in the paper is the best way to reach all those people who walk around town with their eyes shut. Jason has written a wonderful article on Working with press to sell your art so that’s a great place to start. Cost: Decide on a budget per person and try to keep spending on track. Don’t be afraid to approach local businesses for some sponsorship, which could perhaps take the form of refreshments for opening night, materials for advertising, table/chair hire or anything else that may crop up. In return you could offer to thank them by adding their name to your flyers – they’ll be happy to get some (almost) free advertising :) Once you have these details nailed down you are well on your way to being a part of an exciting new experience! Here are a few miscellaneous hints and tips on the nitty gritty. be aware of lighting in your art space when inviting people for opening night, try to get a confirmation so you know roughly how many people to expect music is nice, some soft background music will enhance the mood of your exhibition figure out how much space is available for each artist to hang work don’t leave framing until the last minute think about how you are going to hang your art a peoples choice award is always popular. Number each piece of art and ask patrons to vote for the one they like best. be aware of the colour of the walls your art will hang on – tuffcookie a bio sheet to display along with your work – Jamie Lee create a list of what you will be displaying with prices as well as a card with price info on each piece – Jamie Lee be sure to hand out plenty of cards (or simple letter sized flyers) with your contact information and RedBubble URL (or your personal website, blog, etc.) – Jason present a book and pen at the entrance, for comments from visitors – Joseph Barbara The most important thing is to have fun with your exhibition. Don’t stress about the little things, or worry that it won’t be successful – if you happen to make a sale or two consider that a bonus. So what are you waiting for? Get out there and give it a go! A fantastic life experience is waiting for you, just around the corner… Rhana If you have already been a part of any exhibitions, or have any that are coming up we would love to hear about them and any extra hints and tips you may have from your own personal experience. The following bubblers have graciously offered up their brains to pick if you have any questions about holding an exhibition. What an amazing community we have – thank you!
