Working with Press to Promote Your Art

We recently read two great articles that feature RedBubble artists. Mindy McGregor Mindy McGregor is an artist and stay at home mom. An art curator found her work on RedBubble. Since that connection, Mindy has displayed her work offline several times in Melbourne, and she now has a new solo show in Sydney, Australia. As part of the Sydney show, local and regional newspapers were sent information about Mindy and her upcoming show. Periodicals were also offered an interview with Mindy about her artwork. From the article: “Soon after joining RedBubble, an online artist group (www.redbubble.com), she was contacted by Andrew May, an art curator.” “The 30 photographs in the Sydney exhibit are mainly images from southern Saskatchewan, because McGregor loves to capture bits and pieces of province’s history.” More information: Mindy McGregor | The Leader-Post article Tom Baumker Tom Baumker is a respected US wildlife photographer who was recruited by an existing member to join RedBubble. Tom’s work was recently shown on his local CBS television affiliate as part of a story about the US holiday, Memorial Day. Tom also hands out “at least 20 business cards each day” in order to drive traffic to his RedBubble profile page. The local TV spot led to an article about Tom’s work in the TC Palm, a periodical focused on the coastal area of Florida, USA. From the article: “Baumker starting taking photos when he was 7 years old. His education in photography came mostly from the school of hard knocks and by reading as many books and magazines as he could get his hands on. Since then, he has taken thousands of wildlife photographs. Many of them end are on his Web site – redbubble.com.” More information: Tom Baumker’s RedBubble profile | The TCPalm.com article How can you secure press about you and your artwork? David Watts Barton, a 25-year veteran of The Sacramento Bee and well-known music and arts writer who’s currently the managing editor of SacramentoPress.com – a local online daily periodical that is mixing professional and citizen journalism, stated: “Start with the four Ws – who, why, what, and where. Beyond that, be sure to pique the writer’s curiosity. Most local publications want to write stories about local people. Just give them the hook and the basic information – don’t sell the subject. Just tell the story. If it’s interesting to the writer, they’ll bite. If not, no amount of hype will sell it.” Other tips include: 1. Make the information newsworthy by capitalizing on a trend, e.g., working from home, secondary income streams, networking online, etc. are hot topics right now. 2. Leverage events such as artwalks and current events such as holidays – tying them back to your work. 3. Provide thought leadership if possible. If your work documents a specific topic in which you have expertise, note that in your pitch. Offer an interview and be on time. 4. Build a relationship with newspaper and press staff. One isolated email won’t do most of the time. Send editors commentary, leads, feedback on past articles, etc. It’s easier to sell your artwork to a friend; the same goes for securing press. 5. Be consistent in both your tone and the frequency in which you write editors. Become familiar and there will be less hesitation on the editor’s part to engage. 6. And lastly, don’t send attachments without prior approval. Link to images whenever possible. Let’s conclude In Tom’s case above, you have a dedicated photographer whose subject matter matched the upcoming US holiday. With Mindy, you have an aspiring photographer who was “found” and whose work captures and space and place in the form of a collection. See how you go and let us know how you do. Also, if you were featured in a periodical or publication, please feel free to post the link and details below. If you already create articles about selling art, please point us to them below. More information about selling your art can be found under the Selling member name. Thanks. Regards, / Jason

This is my tribute to Muntazer al-Zaidi. The legendary journalist who threw his shoe at George W Bush during his farewell visit to Iraq. Clearly it is based on Banksy’s “Flower Chucker” stencil which is based on a photo from the 1968 riots in Paris. I’ve tried to keep it faithful to both Banksy and Muntazer by illustrating his head as close as possible to the original press conference image, in the style of “Flower Thrower”. I also illustrated the shoe to fit his hand just nicely and added a bit of definition to the fingers. Love to know what you think. Good riddance George Dubbaya. Muntazer al-Zaid may be the thrower, but you certainly are the tosser. / / / / / / /

Yep, says it all, especially in this day and age. It seems our rights and liberties are under attack….many photographers these days face stiff questioning from authorities whom have actually no right to do so, in asking us what it is we are photographing, for whom, and why we are. We are stopped, looked at, observed, harassed, detained, questioned, arrested, cited for laws which don’t exist, when all we want to do is capture something we see beautiful. All because many of us are thought to be terrorists….now you can show em exactly what ya think with this shirt!

There is a whole lot of media out their wanting fat juicy stories to fill pages, air time and pixels. You probably don’t realize how interesting you really are. This little challenge is designed to get you thinking about ways to turn your story into some free publicity and media love. 1. Write a press or media release about yourself and your art. / 2. Upload it as a journal on RedBubble and tag it with press release / 3. Win cool business cards with your artwork on them (or at least some experience promoting yourself) “But I don’t know how to write a press release” $20 says all the artists who do know how to write press releases had to learn at some point. It’s not brain surgery, but it is a fine art. Which means us creative people have a built in advantage. Here’s some info to help you get started: How to write a media release / How to write a press release that works / How to structure a press release If you’re really stuck, try asking a few people what makes you stand out? How they would describe you to someone else? What is the most unusual thing they can remember about you? And what’s all this about winning business cards? That’s the bit where I say “top job” to one of the best press/media releases uploaded and buy that person some cool business cards. This doesn’t begin to compare with the thrill of seeing your story in print, but they will be handy when you’re rich and famous. I’ll also be consulting with some PR minded folk to get some more opinions on the entries. So you don’t have to take my word for it. And while only one person wins the business cards I will be keeping an interested eye out for stories really worthy of some media spotlight. Then I’ll lather you with love and support and a good kick until you give it a go for real. Winner: David Petranker for this little number

Relationships Sell Art

Press mentions are hard to come by, but perform remarkably well in terms of exposure and sales. Recently, RedBubble artists have received press on these sites: - BoingBoing / - SlashFilm / - Topless Robot / - Toxel.com / - Gizmodo / - Fantastic Blognanza (Please feel free to send me other press mentions and I’ll post them here.) It’s no coincidence that these artists received press. Many artists work very hard to promote and secure exposure for their work. Sure, some get lucky, but they’re in the minority. So, how does PR (public relations) exposure happen, and how can I get some? Relationships sell art. If I approached you on the street and said “buy this shirt or art print” you would think me certifiably insane. If I came to you with a softer sell such as, “How does this photograph make you feel?” you might stop for a second and consider my question. And at that point a dialogue would begin. I would give you some background on the artwork, the story behind its creation, my inspiration, as well as ask how you feel about the image. You might buy the image – or not – but at the very least we started a conversation, a relationship. Press and PR is much the same. The writers have a relationship with their readers. The readers trust the writers. And so, when a writer posts about a t-shirt or artwork there’s some credibility already built in. These same types of relationships exist between the artist and the writer. The artists that received the above press exposure found out whom to write, and likely put the artwork within a context or story. (Full disclosure: I pitched the Toxel post with the idea that designers that read Toxel would resonate with a digital art tool – again, the story and history.) Where to begin? Start with family and friends. Ask them how they feel about your art and/or t-shirt designs. Take that information and extend it to writers, e.g., wouldn’t your exquisite photographs of flowers resonate nicely with a writer that is focused on gardening? Perhaps they would consider using your image in exchange for a link to your RedBubble profile. Selling art is a marathon and not a sprint. Some sales are easier than others, e.g., when the viewer or buyer has built-in context (as related to pop culture), but regardless of how you sell, a story or a relationship will win the day. What if garnering press seems impossible? The same techniques outlined above can be extended to an art fair, a gallery opening, a coffee shop conversation, your mission statement, your RedBubble profile, Bubblesite, an email, a Tweet, a Facebook status update, or any space or place where you can start a conversation that leads to a relationship. More to come. Regards, / Jason

(This one is for you, Patricia.) Here’s a very early work that saw three manifestations, this being the third and finished version…The first two were in near finished states when first one daughter, aged three, got into the room I was then using as a work space and tipped a bottle of ink over the half completed drawing…the second version saw my two year old daughter figure out the locking mechanism I’d put on the door and finding the pretty picture without colour, she coloured it in for me…Using stipple as my technique for tonal work at this time, meant that this picture at 20 X 30 cms, took me about two and a half to three months to complete; not counting the two previous attempts. (The style of woman’s face I used was very much influenced by Norman Lindsay’s approach to his womens faces…I no longer use it as I have found my own voice.)

An Arthurian inspired piece from the very earl 80s.

When I decided to study nursing in the late 80’s, my Grandmother; who had been a nurse herself during the war years; gave me her old nursing text book, thinking that I might get some use from it. / As a nursing text it was an amusing way to learn all the things not to do, but for a peek into the past, it was priceless. / It is inscribed inside the cover with her name, the date – 1932, & the hospital at which she did her Nursing training. While leafing through the pages this afternoon I discovered this little gem, that I have never previously come across…. A new chapter – Bacteriology – begins. Words on the page like bacterium, microbe, pathogen, stagnant pools[???].... / But also; pressed lovingly between the pages; the remnants of a daisy flower & leaf, & a hand written note pertaining to “paroxysmal tachycardia”, & numerous other notations in the various margins, scribbled in pencil, obscure references to other strange states of health. Only my grandmother would know the truth of this page….. only she knows what made her secrete a once beautiful bloom there, amongst the stagnant & diseased. I feel like I’ve stumbled upon some bizarre time capsule…..... not so bizarre really…. just a touching reminder of someone once & still greatly loved. [Canon EOS 1000D]

Click here to add me to your watch list. / .................................. / Taken behind the fish processing plant in St. Mary’s, Newfoundland during the off-season. / This is the only shot I’ve ever taken with the intent of using selective colouring in post processing. When I was taking the picture, I popped up the built in flash and put my finger in front of it to enhance the reds a little. The bright red glare that you see there is the reflection of the flash blasting through my finger. To me it kind of looks like there’s a light blinking inside the box. Would you have pressed it?

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to get yourself, your event or your work into your local paper The short article and photo below was featured in my local paper last January at the time I had a group exhibition running with some friends. It took me literally 10 minutes on a lunch break to accomplish. I’ve done this many times for other artists, events, myself, school things… Getting a bit of coverage in a local paper can have a huge impact on how many people turn up to your event, or sign up for your class, or look you up on the net. What’s more, it’s actually quite easy to achieve Start with some well taken, interesting photos of you, the event organiser, the people behind the work, and maybe one of the work itself. Have a think. What about this person or event or work is interesting, different, exciting, would make people read the article twice? (If there isn’t anything interesting to write, stop at this step, go outside and do something interesting first.) Jot down 1-5 sentences that capture the tone and uniqueness of the person or event and make sure you include important details like names, dates, and contact details. Check your spelling, and read it aloud to make sure it runs smoothly. Stop going over it 50 billion times. It really doesn’t matter that much if you use ‘a’ or ‘the’ Send it to your local paper, a blog owner, or a magazine and include 1-3 of the best photos. Three things could happen: 1. They’ll go “sweet, this guy just did my job for me” and will publish it as is / 2. Someone will call you wanting to chat or email or ask for other photos and will flesh it out into a longer article / 3. You’ll hear nothing, and it will disappear into the abyss This whole process can take as little as 10 minutes if you already have suitable photos, so set your alarm for a bit early tomorrow and get up and do it. What have you got to lose?
