Hi Clark
It was nice meeting you also.
Every time that under preform is b/c I do not sale frame pieces. Is not that
people do not like my work is that did not sold a frame piece. It does make a
difference and now I need to see how many sales or hits per show to consider if
the show was good or not. Today that is more important that $ due to the
economics. Also is important that is not how much dollar you sale is about how
much profit you make. Per every 22X30 frame I sale my cost is less than 40. That
includes the print (16X24), solid wood frame, conservation glass, rag mat, acid
free mounting board. I also tag to frame price a 39.00 framing fit for my time
putting the frame together.

Hi Oscar,
Enjoyed meeting you at Cottonwood. I've participated in about 125 shows in the
last 5 years and I may have hit 2K in print sales 7 or 8 times. Less than 6.5%
of my shows. I realized early in my art show career(2002)that I will never make
any decent money or earn my living at this unless I figure out how to sell the
large and expensive pieces of my work. I still feel that way. It is really hard
to have a 5K show if $350 is the highest priced piece you offer. You should also
remember that top rated shows don't necessarily give you top rated sales. Every
artist needs to figure out what shows work for them and which shows don't. I've
done very good at several shows which aren't even on the radar of Sunshine
Artist or the AFSB.
If I've had 20 sales in 2 days I have probably had a good show.
