Man Mountain Bob
I am so busy it's kind of scary in a good way. I have several private commissions, six bookcovers, and two book projects and a gallery show all working me well into this year. It's a good place to be in despite it is a matter of just getting the "ducks in a row" as it were. To artists, my advice is, diversify and do lots of different things. I learned this also from my friend John Davis, and his various scripts, ideas and so on-have lots of irons in the fire. The people who have suffered badly in this Recession are, the people who relied on one and only one specialty thing. I worked my last "9 to 5 job" in 1983 and have been so busy since, I haven't looked back.
Hence it's why no time to do some small works of late. As I get beyond the shock of Mum's passing, I'm emerging into a better outlook and a positive view. I know she's up there looking in on me, I have no question of this.
SO I have to climb the mountain but I think the view from there, will be spectacular.

It's always great to see positive attitude in people. A breath of fresh air, really, as we can all get very doom-and-gloom when life turns a bit sour.
Well done Bob. Looking forward to seeing your new works of art!
Thanks. All we can do is be positive. I think it all starts with that. I get tired of doom and gloom
This lifts my spirits a bit. I was wondering why I wasn't noticing the recession too badly.
Hi Bob,
It's good to hear that established artists are still doing very well during this "down" time!
I've just stepped into going full-time freelance last year, and I was curious if you ever have or currently work with an art agent or do you do all of your own marketing and networking to continue to grow your client list? Along with the bit of diversifying with lots of different things. :)

Hi Tanja-thanks for stopping in. I do my own. I used to have agents but all wound up being a pain in the backside in the long run. Diversifying is the name of the game, trust me on this!
