DISPLAY AT DESSERTLAND + New Drawing: "Midnight Rose"




    Hi guys!
    Sooo-last week I had a display at Dessertland in Gol,Hallingdal. This is my hometown, and I've got to
    say a big thank you to my father and Mariola and Egil at Dessertland to make this happen-you guys
    are the best!

    This was on the "Gol-market days" where there is stands, carnival, lots of fun. Also, my father
    is trying to make sort of a cafe culture at Dessertland, where young talents can get a bit a bit of
    a chance to show themselves. They had two shows, one on thursday and one on saturday-
    and the place was full! I ran into a couple of familiar faces, and I also actually got to sell  a fiew
    pieces.

     So here is the check list if you ever decide to have a small display like this:

      -ARRIVE EARLY:
       Be sure to arrive at the place early-check out where it is comfortable to sit but also
       be sure to sit a place where it is easy to get ahold of the customers.
       When you sit like this, you will probably sit for a couple of hours to be sure to bring
       a good book and water.
      -BUDGET-
      If you have your display like the one I had, it is a good advice to put in a extra few bucks-
      you never know, it can suddenly begin to rain and you will need extra things you didn't 
      think of before,like blinds, extra decorations etc.
      -CHANGE CURRECY-you will need change curresy. You do not want to blow a sale
       just becouse you didn't have enough cash.
      -HAVE THE DISPLAY A PLACE WHERE THERE IS LOTS OF PEOPLE.
       Should explain it self, but I will mention it. You might think at first that you don't want too
       many people, but I assure you it is better...and times flies faster. 
      -DON'T UNDER PRICE YOURSELF;)
       Second, don't underprice yourself. This is your work, you worked hard for it. 
       If you are an unknown artist people will still be paying the price if it is a picture
       they really want, so don't think that you should sell your pieces as cheap as possible
       just to make a sale. There is not a customer in the world who will buy anything
       just becouse it is cheap-remember that. The customer buys becouse he or she
       needs it, or simply wants it really bad:) 

      ..So all you've got to do it just make really assume illustrations and you are good to go;)
