Have you read this book?

Alyson Stanfield's book, I'd Rather Be in the Studio! The Artist's No-Excuse Guide to Self-Promotion , is the most comprehensive self-promotion advice out there for artists. And not only is it packed with information, she also shows artists of all kinds how to implement each action step. For example, I love the section on how to amplify my presence on-line. I can also attest that the book is well designed, easy to read."

Glimpse of my venture to NCECA

This was my first time going to NCECA. Much to see, hear and do. I got off to a good start when I arrive in Phoenix on Tuesday by taking the shuttle to the Desert Botanical Garden which had an exhibition by Dale Chihuly, Chihuly: The Nature of Glass. I got there just before [...]

It used to be 30 but now it is 10…

Remember when you were supposed to have an elevator pitch for what you were about — something that could be delivered in the time span of an elevator ride or about 30 seconds. Well – one of the things we learned from Alyson Stanfield was that the elevator pitch has been replace by the [...]

Alyson Stanfield’s workshop was well worth every minute of my time! It met all of my expectations and more. I have been working my way through Alyson’s book “I’d Rather Be i the Studio! The Artist’s No-Excuse Guide to Self-Promotion” but as one sometimes gets with a self-help book was stuck. I’m unstuck now [...]
