It’s been a heckuva week here at the Gallery, what with the launch of the website, getting our first sales and trying to figure out how to market this site all coming together in one big chaotic swarm. In addition, we had a miscommunication with the printer about the paper we’re using on the fine art prints and had to go back through the whole process of searching for and then choosing a paper of sufficient weight and texture to be worth it. That’s been done and we’re currently waiting to see what our initial orders look like on the (hopefully) correct paper. Not that they looked bad on the wrong paper, I’d like to think the quality of the work transends the platform it’s presented on, but I’m going for something specific here and hopefully, this time I have it.
In other artistic news around here, I continue to work on my graphic novel, which I haven’t mentioned yet, “Power and Glory.” I’m about twenty pages in on what will ultimately be a two-volume work of almost two hundred pages and I’m very happy with it so far. This is actually a complete reboot of the pages I worked on two years and showed around, so if you saw those, the new pages are totally different, and, I think, must better looking. Finally, I’m also only about two chapters away from finishing my first novel, a big bucket item list I’ve been working on the last five or six years. The novel is called “A Rip in the Corner of the Sky” and I’ll probably start posting chapters online in the next four-to-six months, depending on how long it takes to do the second draft.
I think that’s it. A Facebook and Instagram page for the site will probably go up this weekend, so be on the lookout and please follow. Also, please share this site with your friends and family and if you have any ideas about marketing, please let me know because I’m sort of clueless at this point and need some direction. Us artistic types are not known for our keen business acumen, you know.
Thanks and take care!
