Trailer Hunting

First question - I have a dead dryer in my garage - how do I get rid of it.  Can I put it  to the curb??   What does one do with dryers in Columbus.

I need to get rid of it because I'm buying a trailer. Art fairs have been very good to me and it's time.  5x8 covered.  I'm going to Big O's today to price them out.

Speaking of Art Fairs.  I love the Agora Art Fair in Fitchburg.  Anytime a guy can come into my booth and literally say "I want that and that and that and this and those two".  It's going to be a good day. (all of my new man cave art B17s, F16s, Submarines).    When I can sell a big piece before I'm even open and the woman said "I came here just to see YOU".  It's going to be a wonderful day.  

The star of the day was my image of Cave Point.  Before I sold the big one I had 4 or 5 people asking for smaller prints (which I did not have any of because no one ever buys them).  Finally a woman is looking around and very quietly says "I'll take it".  WHAT?  no story?  No selling?  And she had never been there. Did not have a clue where it was.   The funny thing is that a person pointed out I missed getting rid of one cigarette butt and it was all I could see once he pointed it out.



And AGAIN - people really wanted my images of Miller Park.  I had ONE and as I was selling it a guy asked it I had another one!!  WTF!!  I sold like ONE last year and this year every show I sell one thinking it's an anomaly.

Balderdash asked me what I sell most of  and besides the big 4 Madison shots it's really all over the board which drives me crazy.  The one hot big piece is the Sunset over ice shot which has been selling every show.


ANYWAY - that's my story and I'm buying a trailer.

Two more shows this year - New Glarus which I have never been to Sept 2nd and Sun Prairie Main Street Sept 8th.  I was told to try Holy Hill which I'll look into next year and two are coming off my schedule, Stoughton and Deforest.

OOPS - just got an email - gotta deliver a 22x48 to Madison today. I LOVE Walker for making me quit early!   Better go.

  1. Buy a $25 disposal ticket @ City Hall and haul it to the recycle center :)
