Re: [artshow_photo] Re: What are your bestselling subjects?

Local scenes tend to go over well. And if by creative you mean artsy and
weird then those will probably not sell at anything other than top end shows
that are frequented by the artsy-craftsy bunch who fancy themselves as avant
garde and who buy anything they think is 'ART' with the capital letters. If
you get in shows like those, then it's time to call your inkjet prints:
gliclee to impress them.
