Well I can't believe we are already well into January...Happy BELATED new year and 2013 greetings to all....
As I begin to feel the winter hibernation starting to lift, (well I say that somewhat optimistically, as it has been EXTRA FRIGID cold around here)...Today I did take notice of how the sun was shining and the daylight hours seemed longer....so Spring is just around the corner....That makes me a happy gal !
On another note, lately, I have been exploring 'marketing' ideas, blogs, ...Since as an artist, the work of making art is just one part of the equation. To actually make a living from the creative art making process..there are many other parts of a successful art career ....too many to list here...Perhaps, that can be the focus of another post sometime...For now I wanted to share something I stumbled upon that I thought was absolutely brilliant and cool...
It was a very thought provoking blog post on Jim Connolly's blog site...
