Fair Review

I always judge the state of the local economy by what sells at the Siverado Country Fair. This year it was smaller art items, which tells me that money is tight in the canyon. Although one seller of high priced knit wear was selling very well but I put this down to saleswomenship on the part of her model/daughter.



My daughter did quit well selling cards of her artwork. She did very well, and well she should. She is a very good artist with a very cool style.



Speaking of style or more rightly vision, I freaked out a lot of the locals with my subject matter, but then I only paint what I see. That`s going to give me nightmares was a typical comment.



Added a last touch to the Pickman painting yesterday. It needed a bone in the hand of the ghoul. Now if I can just find some phosphorescent paint for the eyes and teeth. One of the other products of my painting is the once clean white T-shirt that I used as my paint rag. Almost concept art there but they do make interesting shirts once they are washed.



Only sold one cel setup for ASIFA. Lots of interest but almost nobody wanted to pay what they were worth. Money is tight. If I had brought the bargain cels I could have moved a lot of them but it was a last minute thing to bring cels and I couldn`t find the bargain cels in the back of the archives.
