So, making art is not all fun and games (although it is pretty cool).-The business side of things has to be taken care of and it really is a time hog. -Every week, I try to set aside time for both. Its the only way to manage it.
**This is my bag of contacts. Yup - THAT is my mailing list. What a mess - but aren't my studio floors amazing?!
At least the info. is all in one place!!! Until I took Alyson B Stanfield's class "Cultivating Collectors" my lists were all over the place.
So - now I make time each week to put a few in a database. Its tedious but essential for my business. Check out Alyson's ArtBizBlog for more business of art advice - and her book is great too.
Thanks Alyson for mentioning my blog today!

Hi Debbie ... just found your blog through a link from Alyson's ArtBizBlog. Love seeing your filing system. Made me laugh, but like your said, "At least the info. is all in one place!!!"
I'm new to oils and love reading your blog. I love your sunny, warm beach scenes.

You said it Debbie. This is the most time consuming and tedious part of being an artist. I am only just getting better at it...slowly.
Really interesting and useful. Thank you, Graziano.
P.S. your studio floors are amazing!
