Just back from the gallery opening for the Own your own show. I sold 8 of 10 pieces before I left. I have an order for at least one more to be sold to the curator, and was asked to restock for the remainder of the exhibit. I haven't exhibited in this large of a setting before.
Really took me by surprise when I walked past a woman who said, "I just bought a Justin Miller..." I stopped and said "That's me." Overall a wonderful evening.
I was accepted to show in the Own Your Own exhibit at the Sangre de Cristo Arts Center in Pueblo. My work was also selected as part of the advertising campaign. I'll be showing with several more famous artists including John & Dorothy Mendoza and Louis Recchia. I'm planning on attending the opening with my Drawing class on November 18th. I'd love to have you stop by. Should be lots of fun.
Press Release
I've spent the last two days working to get my pieces matted and framed. As a result the studio is a wreck. A wise man would have had all of this ready to go weeks ago.
There is plenty of talk about the hardships of the recession. I've been trying to think of a way to make some relevant artwork. I thought Bob Dylan said it just about right. This and another will be available on etsy very soon.
