So I'm a guy with some artistic ability. So I have some finished pieces. Pencil and Pen & Ink mostly. Time for me to start knocking on doors in the Big Smoke. I've emailed a few places and submitted a package (self addressed stamped envelope included) to a few others -polite disinterest among those who did mail anything back. Now what I am looking for is a concrete set of names/galleries that I can try to interest in my work. I don't want a co-op - I have no money (really, I have no money
) and I live 75 minutes out of the city when the traffic is good, and I work full time punching a clock in a factory. So I'm looking for a gallery that takes consignment work. Or buys the stuff, whatever, just need some turnaround and dollar value here folks. Yes I am an amateur, but the time I spend on my work shows real value -I am not interested in going the cheap give-it-away-so-I-can-say-I-sell route. Really, is there a gallery that is reasonably high-end/tries to get the artist known/sold? I am really really hoping for feedback, so please TO art-knowing type people . . .
To see what sort of stuff I do look here. The first one has a link to an Adobe writeup I made - some of my more involved work has writeups. I plan on doing a bit of rework on that end of it after my TFP experience but I do consider it part of the package I'm trying to sell.
