I also ask myself "why" and try hard not to think that it is just for myself - because if it is I feel really guilty, I'm not saying that I should feel guilty or that anyone else should feel guilty but that is how I feel. I totally agree that it shouldn't have to Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04730626045751435327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22522356.post-3316069756641290832008-08-31T11:42:00.000-05:002008-08-31T11:42:00.000-05:00Hi!Today I'm working on the ATC labels for the upc...Hi!<BR/>Today I'm working on the ATC labels for the upcoming CYBER FYBER exhibition. This brought me by your wonderful blog and this insightful post. I remember wanting to "get out there" and "sell" and "make a name for myself" and all those other things. It is a stressful situation. There is no minimizing it. Once a piece is sold, it is gone. Since those days, I did decide to enter juried Cyber Fyberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14364060040125496829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22522356.post-85666193370897652112008-08-21T10:42:00.000-05:002008-08-21T10:42:00.000-05:00Keep taking photos, and maybe setup a full online ...Keep taking photos, and maybe setup a full online gallery, or Flickr page.<BR/><BR/>That way you can keep them, and the rest of us can enjoy seeing them.<BR/><BR/>SANHSerene and Not Herdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14796774640201036099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22522356.post-46349138444305961152008-08-16T02:04:00.000-05:002008-08-16T02:04:00.000-05:00I agree with Megan that art "...shouldn't have to ...I agree with Megan that art "...shouldn't have to be justified or to earn its keep." Sometimes I think about selling and competing but i can see that leading to a whole lot of stress as I try to reach standards or do saleable items. I "do what I do because I want and have to" and don't sweat the Why. <BR/><BR/>I love your work. It has a freshness and quirkiness to it.
