My name is Steve Popkin and I’m a glass artist. I have been working with glass for many years. More than likely you've never heard of me nor seen any of my work and that's OK. Probably much like you, I have always loved creating art. My dream as a child was to create great new "masterpieces" in drawings, paintings, jewelry, photography, clay, etc. Well I don't think my work will ever end up in any museums nor in any history books :) But...none-the-less, the artist in me still exists and yearns to create.
Let's be honest...You & I both know there's much more to earning a living as an artist than just creating great art. Like it or not, you need to know how to sell it. In fact, making the art is the enjoyable part. But creating great art alone is not going to pay the bills. The problem is that it costs money to live and being a "starving artist" just doesn't cut it. It doesn't even matter if you just want to have a part time business making art...supplies and equipment cost money. You need to make more than you spend.
Learning how to sell your work is something you probably never thought you would need to learn or wanted to. Like me, you probably don't even like selling. I know when I started out I really didn't put much thought into it. I bought lots of equipment and supplies and setup my studio. I loved it! I was finally doing what I always wanted. When I set up my studio the last thing I had on my mind was selling my work. I just wanted to create and "play". I wanted to be an artist not an art salesman. Know the feeling?
Soon I realized that I needed to sell my work if I was going to continue to make it. Giving it away free to family and friends wasn't going to pay for more materials, tools, electric, etc. Know what I mean? If you would like to know more click this link: http://tinyurl.com/Art-Sell
