I had a good and bad art afternoon today. The good was I had a great consolation with the tattoo artist on my next tattoo. I really feel like he respected my ideas and is going to take the designs I made and turn it into something great. It is scheduled for Thursday the 15th, so I am really psyched. Also I got to see one of my favorite former students and his girlfriend today. He has a lot of unrealized potential as a cartoonist and his lady is a talented writer, so together they could be a force if they chose to be.
The bad wasn't really bad as much as frustrating. After I left my consultation, I went into a local coffee shoppe for a drink. This shop often shows the work of local artists. As I was waiting, I looked at the most recent work and saw it was essentially what I term as advanced sketching with some color added. They were framed and highly priced and were apparently selling! I am loathe to ever malign another artist's work but I would have never thought to put work like this on display in a professional sense. So either the artist has a ton of chutzpah or I have been selling my own work short and have apparently been cheating myself out of some money.
I hate losing money.
