Hey fellow blog dignitaries and social media peers,

After reading an Artsy Shark article this month speaking to how I can and should motivate my niche base to purchase my work, I came to this realization: To be totally real and authentic with myself, being sincere in my journey to reach people with certain insightful messages of my art I understand that hard work to create the piece is one thing, but an untapped angle is explaining the thought process while getting them to understand who I am as a person is just as necessary.

I realize with my modest marketing reach and limited funds I must exploit the libraries, free networking events and cost effective art galleries while utilizing my e-commerce capabilities from my website to see my dreams come to life as I potentially try to live off my own artistic inventions.

Slow Motion/Local Events Part 1: Starting September the 23rd (6PM start) to the 26^th (2AM finale) if you have some time available around Hazel Park, check out the first ever 2016 Detroit Art Convention. Vendor artists, musicians, variety acts, live DJs, activities for the kids, etc. will be featured for your enlightenment and entertainment. For more information and parking location, click right here.

 

Lights On/Business Transgressions Part 1: I have reviewed, edited and finalized my new business card templates. They look awesome! Possibly one or two more moves made behind the scenes will be made before I start distributing them at public functions.

 

Lights Off/Outside of the box thought: Update on experimenting with the bi-monthly entries: I feel less jumbled and pressed with my everyday duties to focus on more artist networking, fashioning creative surges, market niche capitalization and getting an early jump on events in the city for instance. So far there are more pros than cons so as of now mid to late November will be the next blog entry.

 

Scales Up/Local Events Part 2: Check out two massively separate events next month for the same grand purpose: Entrepreneurialism. On Saturday, October 15^th at the Oakland Mall, the Small Business Fair will take place from 9AM-7PM. On October 29^th the Entrepreneurs Expo will take place at Laurel Park Place in Livonia from 9AM-7PM.  Be your own boss and set up a booth to sell your jewelry, art, hats, and much more. Free lunches will be provided at both events in a limited capacity. Be there!

 

Scales Down/Man Law Of The Month: Man Law#46: When times get tough and you need to break an unexpected sex drought, swallow your pride, temporarily lower your standards and setup a secret rendezvous with a fugly thot or hoodrat. Hopefully no one judges you on the low if you get caught out there with her while some may in fact empathize with you or lastly as a fallback simply just scapegoat the economy. Works every single time.

 

0%/Business Transgressions Part 2: I recently corresponded with a new freelance artist from a local tattoo shop as well as a very surprising youngin’ from Henry Hill’s weekly art networking event and I think as early as the end of this month is when we may link up to do some business to get started creating a new art piece.
