Selling Art Through Galleries- My Advice

I recently received an email from a fellow RedBubbler and thought I should share my response… DISCLAIMER: this is just my opinion and advice so don’t take my word as gospel! ____________ Hi Jo, I ‘discovered ’ you on Red Bubble and love your work.. You mentioned you work for a gallery that takes work on consignment. I’m interested in getting some of my work into galleries but don’t know how to. My stuff is here… http://www.redbubble.com/URL So just wondering if you have some advice?? Cheers & thanks, ____________ Hey M First thing is you will notice that the footer of this email has all my phone numbers- please do not hesitate to call me and we can have a proper conversation about this. I have a lot of artists ask me about this and am only happy to help out. I have found that the best way to get your stuff into galleries is to do what you have just done- send an email with a link to your work. Your webiste is basically your CV in the art world – it doesn’t have to be flashy (and redbubble is totally appropriate) but having work that loads quickly is important. You will be lucky if a gallery spends more than 1-2 minutes looking at your site. The other thing you can do is to print out samples of 5-8 images of your work, a biography or artist’s statement and any quirky info that could be used to market you. Put this together into a CV or folio and make several copies. Then you do the door knock thing. If you take this option be aware of a few things- Gallery staff at some places (certainly not us though) can be quite snobby to artists who come off the street and try to sell their wares. I suggest being pleasant but do not try to take up too much of their time. I’m more receptive to a “here’s a copy of my folio, here’s my contact details, i’d love to have a chat some time but obviously now isn’t the best time for you- maybe give me a call if you’re interested?” than a lengthy rehearsed sales pitch. Each gallery will have a slightly different way of doing things. Some will ask for a tax invoice when you bring in art and they will just pay you when it sells. Other will ask for an invoice only once something has sold and they may or may not request a consignment note when you deliver your art. Other places do 90% of the paperwork for you but these are rare. We keep a running file of what work you bring in and if anything gets returned to you because it wasn’t selling. Then if something sells we call or email you the same While I’m on this I should mention that some galleries will not deal with you unless you have an ABN. GST normally doesn’t make a difference but I have heard of a couple of fussy places who have insisted on dealing with GST inclusive artists only- go figure? The other thing that changes between galleries is the mark up of your work. In some of the artist run galleries you can get a 30/70 split of the sale (with the artist being better off). Other places will rip you off majorly and mark up your work by more than 100% and therefore will get more money than you do when it sells. Don’t let people bargain with you for your cut and THEN try to add 10% on for GST- insist on bargaining on the final price inclusive of GST. I make this bargaining process sound difficult but the truth is most places have a policy about how they split things and you either take it or leave it- my advice is more to show you the difference between money grabbing and artist appreciating! Which brings me to my next point- look at the attitude of the gallery. Some places are really picky about what you give them to sell which can mean that they either have no idea OR it could mean that they know their clientelle really well. You just have to be good at reading people to wrok that one out. The places that I would steer clear of are the ones who don’t seem to fussed by what you give them or don’t really care about having a biography or any information about you. They should be interested is selling ‘you’ as a product as well as your stuff. You have to balance out the financial side of things with the personal side. At our galleries we go 50/50 on sales which is considered a bit high. The upside however is that you get a mini cheering squad who will rave about your amazing talents to anyone who glances at your work sideways. We don’t have artists complaining about the higher mark up because we make up for it in branding and promotion you. This is a call each artist has to make for themself. If you’re stuff is considered sellable (which is decided on a case by case basis) we will give it a decent chance of selling- normally I put new stuff on display straight away or in the shop window. Then we see hwat the reaction is. Sometimes we find out very quickly that there is no interest, or everyone loves the image but thinks it is too small, or red, or badly framed or whatever. We aim to have open lines of communcation with our artists so that they don’t keep sending us stuff that no one wants! But in the end if after 4-6 weeks things are not going so well I send things back and invite the artist to try again if they begin experiementing with a different syle or medium. I certainly invite you and any other RedBubble artists to contact me about selling work through our galleries. We are always very keen to see what people have got to offer.

This is the first in a series I foresee doing, to increase awareness to the plight of endangered and threatened animals from around the globe. This First Edition focuses on three of the largest and most endangered carnivores today, the Sumatran tiger, the Amur leopard, and the Snow leopard. These are by no means the only imperiled wild cats, as the majority of wild cat species smaller in average body size than 30 kg are at a critical stage. / / / Because without these animals I would never be able to bring their beauty to you, I am going to pledge to donate 100% of all of my sales proceeds from cards and prints of the imagery in this series here on Redbubble to Wildlife Conservation Society Thank you for your support in the race to stave off the extinction of these magnificent creatures.

This t-shirt is another in my line of cards, prints, and clothing geared towards bringing increased awareness to the plight faced by the world’s flora and fauna. this t-shirt, based upon my series of frog, toad, and salamander photographs, depicts the green treefrog, common or Eastern toad, and spotted salamander. They have all been treated with a watercolor filter in photoshop for added depth and detail. The quote on the bottom of the shirt reads: “In the end we will conserve only what we love, we will love only what we understand, and we will understand only what we are taught.” ~Baba Dioum, Senegalese ecologist. Because without these animals I would never be able to bring their beauty to you, I am going to pledge to donate 100% of all of my sales proceeds from cards and prints of the imagery in this series here on Redbubble to Wildlife Conservation Society

We feel very strongly about animal rights and the issue of fur and leather is no exception! Humans should wear their own skin – not the skins of animals. According to the HSUS website: / / “Each year over 50 million animals—including millions of dogs and cats—are killed for their fur worldwide. Although the fur industry does its best to keep the cruelty out of sight, suffering is a common ingredient in all methods of procuring fur, from fur factory farming to trapping. Many, perhaps more than half, of these animals are killed specifically for fur trim—it is not a by-product.” / / And it doesn’t end there. Check out the HSUS Fur-Free Campaign to find out how the fur industry is going out of its way to dupe you through false advertising, false labels and more. / / ALL proceeds will be donated to the Humane Society of the United States. / / Do you have a fur coat, hat or other fur items? Give them back! Donate your furs to Coats for Cubs! These donated furs help young wildlife in need, serving to help keep them warm and sometimes serving as surrogate mothers. It’s an amazing program!

We feel very strongly about animal rights and hope that someday our artistic efforts may help change some minds. Animal testing is a barbaric practice that is not only cruel, but also unnecessary and inconclusive. Some examples of testing alternatives used in the U.S. are: / / • National Cancer Institute adopted in vitro initial screen for anti-cancer compounds – immediately replacing more than a million mice per year. / / • Episkin – a reconstructed human in vitro epidermis for evaluation of corrosivity of cosmetics, pharmaceutical and chemical compounds. / / • Corrositex – a two-chambered system with collagen membrane. Color (pH) change when test chemical penetrates to indicator chamber (widely used in the U.S. and Europe for corrosivity testing). / / • Computerized chemical structure-activity relationship (SAR) and knowledge-based expert systems allow prediction of efficacy and safety/toxicity of new compounds. / / • Epiocular- a reproducible, multi-layered human cell-derived tissue for testing ocular irritancy of chemicals and other materials. / / • EpiAirway- is a three-dimensional culture of human tracheal-bronchial epithelial cells for pre-clinical studies of inhalation drugs. / / • Epiderm- is a reproducible, three-dimensional, human cell-derived skin tissue for studies of corrosives and irritants. / / • Ames test uses specific strains of common bacteria to detect genetic changes caused by test substances – mutagenesis and carcinogenesis possibilities. / / • Toxicogenomics utilizes DNA chips to identify pattern of gene changes characteristic of specific toxicity endpoints. Will ultimately replace nearly all current animal-based tests. / / Examples taken from the AAVS website.

Skies alight with burning fire / Smouldering with clouds of grey / Flashing yellows, to admire / Blinding light in dancing play / To what power can compare / This awesome sight that we behold / What could make a person stare / And make a story here unfold / A feline, such a stunning beast / Who’s beauty cannot be denied / Such beauty for thine eyes to feast / Of shimmered gold and blackened hide / The leopard proudly takes her stance / They say her spots cannot be changed / And while she makes her perfect dance / To want to would just be deranged / By Julie Langford . Julie Langford whom we all know and love here at RedBubble, approached me when I posted the original Poser excited at doing a collaboration where she would apply a sunset to the image. I accepted, and needless to say the result is stunning as you see before you! But then, Julie asked if I would like her to write some prose to accompany the piece when I posted it, and again I accepted. The poem is also hers, and I must say she has made me proud! We hope you all enjoy this collaboration or as I like to call it a “Coolaboration”!

Making a Profit Because of Redbubble
by Stephen MitchellDo I really need to say this? We can profit from our art on Redbubble. I get the feeling people are not understanding this concept. ...
Do I really need to say this? We can profit from our art on Redbubble. I get the feeling people are not understanding this concept. Redbubble is merely and only our personal art gallery. It’s not a static destination where you stop and stare, but a dynamic gallery of photographs forever showing art that best represents what we’d like the general public to purchase. From Cards through to Framed wall-hangings, our work is available to purchase online. Redbubble provides a slick website that is so easy for choosing frames/laminates/cards/t_shirts/etc, purchasing the product and easy-delivery system. They make it amazingly easy to be a small-business owner. Or at least make a small to moderate amount of play-money on the side. I encourage all Artists to use Redbubble to get started, but don’t let it stop you in your tracks. It staggers me how many people are sitting behind their computers with tapping fingers saying, “OK, Now they can see me, they will come here any moment now to purchase my art!” “No they won’t!! You have to find the customers yourself. Redbubble enables you to purchase your own work … and then on-sell it. / My Redbubble Business In August 2007 I purchased thirty cards via Redbubble. I gave five as gifts to very close friends, simply blank cards without messages, but with a simple note … do what you like with this. / Some people kept them, others used them within minutes to send off as Birthday cards. Most asked where I got them from and can they have more? The remaining cards sold within 24hours of arrival from Redbubble! Then I emailed those people, other friends and family, showing them my RB gallery. I have repeat customers because of this initial free promotion. We order $150 worth of cards and other stuff each fortnight, either in pre-orders or for stock. I have a box of about 120 card-ographs in stock at anytime. My lovely wife keeps a very intricate and statistical ledger of all cards in stock, those sold and those on order. Clients choose from the gallery (telling me which ones they like via email, with the name of the artwork, the style they’d like it presented _card, laminate, etc and how many of each_), we order and receive, then we take it to the customer. About a two-week turn-around time. I’ve also purchased a dozen 12”x8” of the ‘prettier’ of our photographs on each of our galleries, which are easily viewed in an A3-portfolio. These are used to determine the appropriate frame and matte colour when clients choose them. Now that Christmas is gone, I can reveal that White Gums II was picked off my gallery by a work-friend’s mother here in Adelaide, I had it framed locally, and it now sits pride of place in their lounge room! I’m very proud of that!! From the corporate world through to the suburban billiards room, everyone wants a suitable image to hang on the wall. Because I have clients who prefer not to purchase online, I’ve made it my responsibility to acquire the final product and deliver it to their offices and homes. And this system works beautifully. (More about this in the next four weeks…) To parody and plagerise a famous quote: “Give someone a fish and they eat for a day, give them a camera with with a zoom lens, and they can shoot the most beautiful carp every day of the week!“

“The Melbourne Silver Mine Inc. is a non-profit incorporated association of enthusiastic analogue photographers based in Melbourne Australia. The group has been formed to achieve the following purposes: To encourage and promote the continued use, unique features and appreciation of traditional photographic techniques and equipment To assist in the exchange of ideas and enable collaboration on projects which promote the continued use of traditional photography to the wider community. To support the use of contemporary technologies in order to achieve these purposes. Although we primarily exist to promote traditional photo technologies we embrace modern and future techniques. Our members are very technologically aware and seek to demonstrate how traditional technologies can work with digital photography and other modern photographic techniques to achieve a new art form, drawing the best from both old and new methods. The Melbourne Silver Mine has formed over the past 18 months after a small group of like minded photographers formed on the photo sharing website flickr.com. The group continues to grow and inspire more photographers to return to film photography or to take it up for the first time. We share ideas, techniques and equipment. This enthusiasm gave rise to our inaugural exhibition of analogue photography, Unsensored07, which was held at Kerala Gallery in Northcote, Melbourne in November 2007. 12 photographers exhibited 24 works. In 2008, Unsensored08 is double in size with 30 photographers exhibiting 46 works at the Collingwood Gallery from 8th to 20th August 2008.

How to Market your work that is the Question

I love receiving comments and am overjoyed when someone favours my work, but it does not generate sales. Why is That? My question to every RB’er , in particular those who are highly successful on RB, how does one increase sales. How do we get buyers from outside the RB empire interested enough to buy. RB does not market itself or our work very well, as it expects us to do this for them RB homepage* – does not look commercially attractive to potential non-member buyers. It does not target type of design, or art etc.. Search engine does not work very well. In fact there is no point directing anyone there, as they will never find you. Ebay – forget it prices are to high by the time you add printing, shipping, margin costs. There are no reasonable discounts available to us from RB. RB’s cards are good quality, but the price is too high for us to have a reasonable margin Personal website – this will cost money to look professional, with shopping cart direct to the merchandise. Additional costs include getting it on all the search engines as otherwise your website will remain a little atom in the sea of the www Anyone, got any good ideas, maybe even good ideas we could put forward to RB (including a 10% discount on 10 cards+ etc. ) I would like to hear from you that have made some good sales here, if you dare tell us how many cards, pictures or tees you have sold over a given time period. even send me a bubblemail and I will do a follow up journal without names if you prefer to remain anonymous I am not attacking RB, but it is no secret, that they expect either the members create sales for them within the community, or we market RB outside for them and ourselves.r People will buy cards , laminated or matted prints if they are priced competitively, even in a recessionary market. At this point it is not possible given the basic price RB charges in particular for cards, as this would not even cove our marketing costs or give us a reasonable profit. People love buying Limited Editions, well we can say that or prove that, so that is a no go. Maybe RB could devise / recommend something clever here. SUGGESTIONS SO FAR 1. Red Addiction – Spread yourself widely within RB which could generate a sale / 2. Alan Findlater -make up cards adn give to clients, friends , work colleagues . / 3. Alan Findlater – promote on social networks such as You Tube, Facebook etc., your own site / 4. Stephen Mitchell – Buy your artwork yourself. Sell it to friends, family and in local retail outlets. / (Alan Findlater suggested don’t buy on RB because cost to high,)

The Jordy Fund Jordy’s Story Another Tee for those who have followed Jordy’s Story and would like to have something they can wear proudly in support of him and myself :) :) If you would like to see how the Jordy Fund is doing click HERE This Tee was lovingly designed and offered to me to go towards the Jordy Fund by my Angel TBO Here is what she has to say about it :) :) Jordy is the biggest cat and loudest purrer I have ever seen/heard! He is also loved dearly by so many. He is loved so much he’s like everyone’s favourite teddy bear from our childhood. He’s a tough kitty in every sense of the word! The reason why i wanted to do this b/c i think its important to give. I do this without my TBO logo, this is not about me, but about Craig and Jordy, both whom I love so much. If two people can work together and get a message out there, then its twice as powerful. So if you’re a fan of TBO or a fan of Craig and Jordy’s – or even both (oh you!) then buy this tee and show your support! Thank you so much Princess … we love you so much!!! XXX

Well, stock photography. A good money maker, or a waste of time?? So far for me (about 2 months so far) it has been good, a good learning experience with the added benefit of making a little pocket money. When I decided to go ahead and upload my photos to sell as stock, I did some research looked at different sites, and decided to go ahead and upload to a few different sites: / Shutterstock / 123 Royalty Free / Can Stock Photo / Dreamstime / IStockPhoto / Fotolia / Big Stock Photo / I figured that the more sites i was signed up to, and that were displaying my images, then the more people would see them, and then hopefully buy them. Things started off fairly slow, with one or two sales per week for the first few weeks. Now however in the last 2 days i have had about 15 sales, which has just encouraged me to go out, take more photos, upload them and give people even more of my photos to download! The whole stock thing works great for me at the moment, as I am still a Photography student for another year, and this helps to fill in my spare time, and gets me out taking more pictures, something that i love doing. So really it can only be a good thing! The money is only trickling in at the moment, however it is at least trickling, and that for me is the exciting part. I believe that if i consistently add more photos to these sites, and increase my skill and expertise also, then this will end up being quite a substantial money earner for me. And hey, who doesn’t want to earn money from their hobby?? So far, just top give you an idea, a couple of my highest selling images are: / / Anyway, I know a few people are selling stock already, and i know of a few who are interested, so I wanted to keep you all up to date with what I’m doing!
