Whew, busy couple of days. I don't how work days can get away from me all of the sudden I look at the clock and the day is just about over (well for an early bird like me it is!) Yesterday I went up to Marblehead, MA and met with Carol Eldridge about the process of licensing some of my artwork. I know the basic principles but this one on one time was invaluable and now that I am home my head is spinning with so much to do! I consider myself to have a fairly decent business head on my shoulders for an artist but I got to thinking as I was talking to my sister that I could really move forward with her help. She is sooo outgoing and she is "school teacher organized" so I think she is hired! Hmmm wondering if she actually wants to be paid-ha! Actually I know my weakness about contacting companies-I am simply not a salesperson even though I am extremely outgoing like my sister. We were Army brats and we can carry on a conversation with ANYONE but when it comes to selling my own art I have this thing...I don't want to be pushy, I don't want to appear full of myself. It is just this THING. She is terrific at sales of anything and everything but absolutely marvelous at something she believes in and yes, we ARE sisters after all and I am very lucky that she believes in me. And I can't imagine anything better than to have my sister make money too. So the adventure begins...

Here is a print I designed called The Neighborhood. I like it and again, it is funny when you like your own art. I guess it is funny because that means somethings I am not that crazy about, ha! Anyhow, I see this on baby items but truthfully I would buy it also. Would this just make me so happy in the morning on my coffee mug?
