Thanks everyone

@BichonBistro that would be amazing! I think there will also be art for sale. I had no idea i needed to ship them art otherwise I would have priced it higher. I also had to get a frame.

@Aleksey So cool-you've worked so hard at this and have taken every opportunity to grow and push it further. Love the image-and so glad it is being recognized.

You’re all so nice

BichonBistro · 26 Oct 2019, 22:54

@Aleksey YES! you should have priced it higher, because it was SOLD and the buyer insisted on taking it off the wall before the show ended because it was a gift for her daughter.

So my husband and I took photos of the space the gallery docent said your illustration was previously hung. It was where the lady/flower in white frame is.

When I told her that I had hoped to see it on display, she showed me your etsy listing, not quite the experience we had in mind

We tried! She said it was one of the first pieces sold

ArtofAleksey · 26 Oct 2019, 23:23

@BichonBistro oh wow what? Its just a print! Haha thats cool...i wish they hadnt done that though because i was hoping more people would see it before it was purchased because i still havnt been able to find any paid work.. oh well. Thanks for going still and taking photos.

BichonBistro · 26 Oct 2019, 23:38

@BichonBistro I know, right?!

I wrote it down but of course can’t find it now—I think she said only 122 pieces were accepted out of all the entries and this was their first juried show exclusively dedicated to illustration. lllustrator Will Varner was the juror.

@BichonBistro yeah! He was one of the people that came to talk at my residency this last summer. We kept in touch! Great guy.
