Do You Have a Second Life? Do You Need a Second Life? 2007-08-06 02:03:24 If you want to be somebody else,If you're tired of fighting battles with yourself.If you want to be somebody elseChange your mind, change your mind. - lyrics to Change Your Mind by Sister Hazel
If you answer is yes, you likely are one of the 8.5 million plus people who have created a virtual alter ego on Second
Life. Here is the description of what Second Life
is from its Web site:Second Life is a 3-D virtual world entirely built and owned by its Residents. Since opening to the public in 2003, it has grown explosively and today is inhabited by a total of 8,558,745 Residents from around the globe. There are who find it hard to imagine one having enough time for a rich involved second life when their real life is so hectic already, while for others the escape from the clamor of reality is the lure. Me, I signed up and got an avatar, but was fairly bored before I got off Help Island where you learn to walk, talk, drive and fly and get an appearrance and find and move stuff. I did go to

Trends in Art - Art Licensing Makes a Natural Impact 2007-07-27 15:05:45 If you are reading this blog, chances are you have an interest in learning about how to effectively get art into the marketplace. A key factor in having success on such a goal is to make art that is with the current trend. It is more than color, although that's a big part. It's more than subject, which is another huge factor. It's also about macro trends within our culture.
The desire to go green is a growing trend showing no signs of doing anything but getting stronger. Companies in all kinds of industries are responding. Partly because it makes good marketing and partly because it is good corporate citizenry. As an artist or publisher, you can be involved in many ways. You can use recycled materials where possible, you can donate to organizations that promote healthy green habits, you can create imagery that helps create awareness for doing things save Planet Earth. Use your own imagination and creativity to express your interest in this or other macro trends you observe.

Prince and the Art of Monetizing Free Stuff 2007-07-23 15:35:18 Alyson Stanfield, the Art Biz Coach, had an interesting post on her blog today about Prince
. She points to an online article from the New York times titled, The Once and Future Prince. The article points out how he changed his name to an unpronounceable glyph and set up his own music club to circumvent the restrictions of his label. This before Napster and iPods, when broadband was strictly a business application. It was an interesting and brave choice. But then those are hallmarks of his career, which now in its third decade shows no signs of slowing down or relying on replaying oldies to pad his retirement. The article details how Prince has been giving his music away and using the exposure to make money, (in his case millions) in other areas.
I often refer to Prince when speaking about POD (Print On Demand) technology because as with so many other things in his career, as the NY Times article indicates, he was well ahead of the curve in seeing how new developments become the norm. Read more:Monetizing
Dick Harrison's "Sales Tips for Artists" New Website 2007-07-20 14:22:01 The inimitable erudite Dick Harrison
, whom I have blogged about before, has put out a new Web site, Sales
Tips for Artists
. The site offers one place where artists, reps and others interested in art marketing and how to sell art can learn from Dick's 20 years of experience selling his own work and that of as many as 200 other artists. Dick is an eloquent speaker, which makes listening to his podcasts as enjoyable as they are informative. Here's his brief description of the site:The sales tips you're about to listen to are based on what I learned as a successful artist's rep and producing artist. The "secrets" I'm about to share supported my family for more than twenty years and and I know they will help you as well.Dick could easily charge for these valuable lessons and I believe most artists would be happy to pay to tap into his knowledge. I encourage all my readers to not only take the time to learn from Dick, but to repay his generosity by sharing the link to his site with as
Is the Art.com IPO for Real? 2007-07-16 20:42:05 Art.com is not acting like a company in pre-IPO mode, or at least that's how it appears to this observer. The company recently announced changes to its contract with self-representing artists only to get a loud, rancorous response as typified by a month long 13-page thread on the Online Visual Artists board titled AR & Sistino firings. Apparently, many staff members of Art.com subsidiary sites, Sistino and Artist Rising were fired en masse on May 10, 2007. These firings might be construed belt tightening as the company moved closer to its IPO. But, in concert with other goings on, it seems less likely the case.
The company bumped the commission on art from 10% to 15% at the same time it took away the lucrative 10% it formerly paid for framing sales. Anyone who has been around the print business, or had a print custom framed for that matter, knows the larger portion of the cost is in the framing. The change has the net effect of cutting artist's income from Art.com.

Terry Redlin's Retirement Announced 2007-07-12 03:44:28 One of the most successful print artists ever is Terry
Redlin. According to his www.redlinart.com Web site, he's sold more than 2 million prints and even more licensed images of his work over the past 25 years. Those are achievements few artists ever enjoy.
Enjoyment is at the heart of Redlin's immediately recognizable work, as is nostalgia. The "Spring Fever" piece shown here captures both sentiments and embodies Redlin's enormous talent. With sales totaling nearly 30,000 images, the image illustrates his reach into the marketplace.
His hometown newspaper recently ran an article on him titled, Demand for Redlin's work spikes - Artist's retirement increases interest in prints, but not value. The article provides insights and praise along with some criticism and discourse regarding the terms "limited edition", and prints vs. reproductions. The arguments are not new, but it's interesting to see them covered in a daily newspaper, especially the hometow
Paint Outside the Frame - Digital Painting Comes of Age 2007-07-10 01:47:14 If you have been reading along with this blog, you've seen posts questioning whether the term giclée is passé, rhetorically asking "What Is a Giclée?" and suggesting the term, "Convergent Media" is more appropriate than digital art. The situation is that digital media and communication continues to take a larger role in our lives. The blog you are reading now is a cool by-product of digital media and Web development. The picture below is the work of Convergent Media Artist, Steven Friedman and is featured on the home page of the DigitalPaint

Bev Doolittle's New Print Shows Life in Limited Edition Market 2007-07-05 03:58:14 Bev Doolittle
's Beyond Negotiations, her first limited edition in eight years, has sold out the Museum Edition
. The massive 72" x 26" giclee canvas size has sold out all 350 pieces at the publisher level. With a retail price of $2,950, it generated more than $1 million in sales.
Doolittle's longtime publisher, The Greenwich Workshop also reports strong sales of the smaller 44" x 16" MasterWork Edition with 3,750 pieces on paper. Priced at $795, if it sells out, it will generate nearly $3 million in additional retail sales. In the heyday of limited edition sales, a Doolittle edition of this relatively small size would have created havoc in the market with overheated demand from dealers and collectors. Market
watchers are paying close attention to see how this edition by one of the genre's superstar fares. So far, so good. Sales success of artists the ilk of Doolittle notwithstanding, I continue to campaign for unlimited editions of giclee prints for a variety of reasons. There i Read more:Print
Convergent Media - Is It Time to Bury Digital Art? 2007-07-03 03:09:47 Convergent Media
(I'm not big on double posting, but I'm going to with this one. This post was originally published on the Wet Canvas in the Digital
Art forum. I present it here because it dovetails with my previous Is Giclee Passe? post. Apologies to those who have previously read this on Wet Canvas.)The term giclee was coined into usage as marketing jargon. It successfully allowed printers, publishers and artists get away from using the term digital art and digital printing at a time when using either was certain to cool the ardor of potential buyers of this new media.To keep things in context, in 1990 there was no Internet to speak of, the desktop computer revolution spawned by Windows 95 was five long years into the future. Cell phones and digital cameras weren't the norm as with today. Fax machines exemplified the cutting edge of instant communication technology.

ArtExpo Bets on Las Vegas Redux 2007-08-09 12:27:04 New Beginnings - ArtExpo Bets on Las Vegas
In the art world, when a show in a new venue springs forth with energy, sales and optimism, the excitement is palpable and contagious. It's my hope this post will herald a new beginning with ArtExpo Las Vegas
. The past decade has wrought so much change within the industry and for the most part, everything is more difficult and confounding. But, opportunity still abounds if you know where find the cheese in its new spaces. I truly hope this show is one of those spaces. The industry sorely needs the shot of adrenalin that good news and great results a happening new venue always brings.
If you have been a reader of my Art Print Issues blog, you know I have expressed the importance to the industry of having a vibrant ArtExpo and dismay at changes there that don't portend well for the portion of the art market it importantly represents.

Barney Davey Featured in Great Output Magazine 2007-08-15 03:55:58
I was honored to be invited for a Q & A interview with Eileen Fritsch, the editor of GreatOutput
magazine. It is the cover story for the July/August issue. Although I primarily work with painters, I've lately found many photographers and convergent media artists interested in learning the nuts and bolts of the fine art print reproduction market. This feature story is an example of the growing interest in developing a following from photographers in the art print market and art marketing, primarily in the form of gicees.
Here's the description provided on the publication's Website:GREAT OUTPUT is our bi-monthly printed publication for photographers who want to know more about how to print, finish, display, and sell digital images.

The Secondary Art Market - Bev Doolittle's Beyond Negotiations Sold Out & The Lunacy of Limited Edition Giclees 2007-08-21 16:46:33 Brad Greek, a longtime supporter of my book, consulting and blog recently notified me Bev Doolittle
's latest limited edition piece, Beyond Negotiations, was sold out at Greenwich Workshop, her publisher of many years. No surprise in that news really. When I blogged about the work last month, the larger canvas giclee 350 piece edition was already taken. It was only a matter of time before the smaller canvas edition of 3,750 would also be no longer available at the publisher level. Together, the two editions represent $4 million in retail sales for unframed work. (Erratum, the edition of 3,750 was identified on my previous post as being on paper. That is incorrect, it is also a giclee on canvas.)
There may be other artists selling out large editions like Doolittle's, but I doubt any are doing it as quickly as we've seen with Beyond Negotiations, which is her first limited edition published in eight years. Obviously, her fans, collectors and speculators remain enthusiastic about her w Read more:Secondary

Thirteen Sure-Fire Rules to Create Success for the Emerging Artist - Part One 2007-08-25 17:13:40 Don't paint or photograph with the preconceived view of becoming known for a look or style when you have so much to offer on a wide platform of personal interests.
Don't have any concerns whether galleries or collectors will have a clue as to what to expect from you when you jump from painting portraits to ponies. With your abundant talent, it doesn't matter because it's only time before the whole world is beckoning to it.
Don't submit to any of the multitude of regularly available columns, features, special sections and other FREE publicity opportunities. After all, why go for the filler copy when the cover stories are just around the corner?
Don't go out of your way to have any valuable contact with the media when you just know they will be courting you once you are rich and famous.
Don't ask any reps, whether they be advertising, tradeshow, framing, paper, printer or art reps, who call on you to tell you what is happening in the business; you wouldn't want to be Read more:Thirteen

Audio Added for Your Listening and Downloading Pleasure 2007-08-30 01:22:09 I added a new widget to the Art Print Issues blog today. Odiogo allows blogger to "Voice Your Content" by digitizing the blog text and creating an audio file read in some bloke's pleasant computer voice. You can also choose to download it as an mp3 and listen to it on your iPod or other audio players. I think it is a cool service some will appreciate having. It will be interesting to get your feedback. Click the icon to start listening.
As with all new technologies, Odiogo comes with some features that are less than perfect. One is it sometimes rambles from one sentence to the next without a natural pause making casual listening difficult in those instances. Another is it doesn't read the list numbers as in my previous "Thirteen Sure-Fire Rules..." post. Lastly, its attempts to pronounce giclee are downright humorous.

Learning from Disaster: Post Fire Lessons 2007-09-13 02:39:57
Sometimes the most valuable lessons you learn happen when you are seeking to learn something else. For instance, most who visit and read this blog do so to discover new information about the art print market.

Which Colors Are In Your Palette? Bet on blue, not brown 2007-09-09 03:31:55 Have you ever wondered how the color palettes of so many varied companies seem to follow suit? For instance in the past year, if you browsed a Crate & Barrel or Horchow or Macy's Home catalog you'd find natural blues and shades of chocolate brown making a strong influence on home design. Is is possible that Cadillac and Lexus could choose eerily similar shades of luscious metallic raspberry red in the same model year? Given seasonal color palettes are chosen one to three years in advance, such trends do not happen by coincidence. Most color designers who work for large companies that need to forecast color direction to market their products subscribe to either the Color Marketing Group or The Color Association. These organizations help them decide on colors from Kleenex boxes to Cadillacs.

Banksy Gives Prints Away and Fakes Still Get Sold on Ebay 2007-09-25 22:25:36 The anonymous (well almost) British graffiti artist, Banksy, who has made a career of setting the art market on its ear hit the news again with this article in The Art Newspaper: Revealed: the eBay Banksy print fraud.

ArtExpo Las Vegas & Decor Expo Atlanta Shows Mirror the Market - Part Three 2007-10-15 02:09:12 New Capitalism, the Future of Tradeshows (Part Three
)
I assume there will be another ArtExpo Vegas
show next year. That said it's doubtful, unless the economy magically revs beyond wildest expectations, a majority of exhibitors this year will invest more heavily in it next year. There was plenty of guessing about how the results of this show would affect the ArtExpo New York show, little of it with a positive vibe. That is, West Coast artists and publishers tired of the travel and expense of going to New York would love to have a viable show in the region. The question for them now is do they continue with the headaches and expense of distant travel to New York, or do they speculate hoping Vegas will grow into something more promising?
Regarding speculation, the rumor persists show owner, Summit Business Media LLC, has its art and framing properties on the block or has advanced to negotiation on a sale. Given the art & framing group is the equivalent of a redheaded stepchil Read more:Decor

ArtExpo Las Vegas & Decor Expo Atlanta Shows Mirror the Market - Part Two 2007-10-11 01:15:05 The New Millennium Brings Change and New Challenges to the Industry
The early years of the 21st century set the stage for major changes within the industry. For example, against a trend of declining trade magazine ad pages, the industry witnessed the largest shows ever. There was the demise of the PPFA (Professional Picture Framers Association) shows as stand alone entities, and the rise and success of the industry’s only regional framing and art show in the form of the West Coast Art & Frame show. 1999 brought the sale of the Commerce Publishing Company's ABC (Art Buyer's Caravan), Galeria and Frame-o-rama show and DECOR magazine to Pfingsten Publishing LLC.
The Commerce Publishing Company sale to Pfingsten Publishing LLC led to its acquisition of Advanstar Communications' ArtExpo shows, Art Business News magazine and other related media and show properties. The Pfingsten's ownership also brought the end of CPC’s regional art & framing tradeshows. Deemed marginally Read more:Vegas

ArtExpo Las Vegas & Decor Expo Atlanta Shows Mirror the Market - Part One 2007-10-07 22:50:34 The September art & framing shows, Decor
Expo Atlanta
and ArtExpo Las Vegas
concluded with a thud. Reports from both shows were not unlike results from any casino surrounding the Vegas show. They included a small number of exhibitors who came away winners, and more whose results ran the gamut from okay to dismal. Further reflecting the state of the art print market, neither packed the punch that exciting shows get from word-of-mouth. It is an interesting dichotomy in our age of instant electronic communications and marketing that, just as with motion pictures, old-fashioned word of mouth is the chief driver to fill exhibit halls and pack movie theatres.
The Atlanta show continued its decline in size again this year, which can be construed as a direct reflection of the industry mirroring the contraction in the numbers of individually owned galleries and picture frame shops in North America. The one growing segment of exhibitors in Atlanta is Chinese oil painting companies. This i Read more:Market
