Brochures




Hi All, I have spent the past year building a body of work (even while commissions were going on ) for monthly shows I booked for 2002. I used my own family for models and they eventually will be the recipients of the portraits.

Occasionally, people ask to purchase the portraits I am creating for the shows, but I refuse to sell them. I read one time that the second biggest mistake an artist can make is not having a body of work ( up to 20 paintings ready to show).

In order to promote these shows, in local libraries, complete with professionally lit art galleries, I bought a new HP 1215 printer and have produced hundreds of brochures and matching business cards which are being mailed out to old clients and placed in local businesses to attract potential customers. I intend to follow up with another mailing in six months for next years holiday gift giving season.

This is how I set up the brochure.
