March 15, 2008 Day 330
For this morning's drawing I made a black-and-white minimalist sketch:
Drawing #337 14" x 11"
Recently I received a notice about installation artist Mark Dion's project for Bartram's Garden--America's oldest botanical research garden. I was offered "promotional materials that would be useful to you and/or your staff of writers interested in this project." Wow, it must be great to have a staff on board to help you promote your art.
Unfortunately, I have no staff whatsoever and have to make the art, photograph it, write about it, update my website, and do all the marketing/promotional/bookkeeping work myself. That's the case for most artists today. The lucky few have a staff.
However, I don't mind putting in a little plug for Mark: you can check out his project at MarkDionsBartramsTravels.com.
(Note: There is a gap between the dates I'm writing and posting in order to give me time to get ahead.)
