I also agree that sharing our perspectives and practices and insights with prospective clients is the way to go. That is SO much more interesting than bashing artisans whose work we feel to be lesser than ours and worthy only of our contempt.
If folks want our work, they'll buy it, if they can. If they don't buy it, then either they know about it and don't want it (it's possible, isn't it, that some of us just don't produce work that everyone is dying to own?), or can't afford the price we've put on it, or they'd like it and would buy it if they knew about it, but we haven't told them about it. Which of those scenarios are the Kinkades of the world to blame for?
If the Kinkade empire is about ready to tank, as suggested, then much of the logic presented in this thread would suggest that we'll all suddenly see such a backlog of commissions, we won't be able to squeeze paint out fast enough.
And wouldn't that be fun? (And doesn't the logic seem, suddenly, harder to follow?)
Now I'm going to open a Pepsi, too, diet and straight up, though perhaps upon reflection with a distilled mixer. Cheers, all, until next time.
