N!Satterfield

A Pep Talk for Art Marketing

N!Satterfield is an artist. He doesn't want to fool with the details of marketing and selling the work. He loves the creative aspect and gets bored and bogged down with the marketing stuff. Does this sound like you? Well too bad. Get off your butt and sell your art! Just kidding, haha. Well kind of. You have to look at your artwork as your job. All jobs have aspects that we don't really care for, right? If you love what you do most of the time, then you're doing pretty good. It's important to document and photograph your work as you produce it so that you can upload images to the web and also produce printed materials,like brochures. Next, you've gotta get out there and meet people. Any type of sales requires some amount of networking, so get involved in community art events. Meeting other artists is a great way to get tips and also to find out where there are opportunies and locations for selling your artwork. More to come! Gotta go to work!
