Richard,
I've shared this with people, so that they can extrapolate from the information, and develop their own paths.
You need to be responsible for your own work, and making your own projects happen.
I don't need your services -- I am just sharing information so that people can take the information and apply it to their own work, and in doing so, might be able to improve their art careers and business skills.
It sounds like you ought to pursue your relationship with that gallery.
Thanks for saying hello.
Interesting. The gallery closed, so further relationship would be difficult. And, frankly, I am already responsible for my own work and have followed my own career path, but I am also a fan of collaboration and thought I sensed in your presentation of your research the possibility for a community based effort which might have been entertaining to be involved in. If this is not the case, no problem. I have plenty of irons in numerous fires to keep myself busy.
If your gallery went out of business, but a gallery will sell your work for 300, and you only get 30 on your lawn, then I would recommend trying greeting cards to sell in shops, or shop galleries, or children's book publication, or if you're particularly passionate about someone or some project, then I would recommend directing your work toward that thing.
This could be a non-profit charity, or an educational event for children, or mental health support groups.
Thanks for replying.
I'm not interested in collaborating with you right now, and my opinions might not be that useful for you, but they are there if you would to make use of them.
