I have a plan.

Ok, in case anyone cares to read this story...here goes.

 

I signed up for an art show last year. I never heard back from them or got anymore information about it. Then I went anyway with some friends and I knew for whatever reason I was not in the show. My boyfriend and his lovely sister asked around to see who was in charge of joining the show. We looked for a "guy in a red shirt" and found a former classmate of mine. We had an art class together and sat next to each other.

 

I tried to befriend him one day (or several)  and was told, "I just don't like you. You are too much. Too talkative, too animated, too...just too much!" I was really taken aback, assuming because we were both artists that we would hit it off.

 

That was why I didn't make it in the show. So, this year I have a plan. I used the name acrylicrocks instead of  Nicole Scott and needless to say I got a detailed email in response. I intend to make full use of my 5 feet of horizontal space. As well as numerous promotional items to distribute. Stickers, business cards, keychains, buttons, sketch books and more. Everyone there is going to have something with my name, logo, or artwork  on it. There's nothing like shameless self-promotion to mak a point.

 

No cranky, unfriendly art brat is going to keep me from being in this show. Afterwards I will be posting lots of stuff from the event. Perhaps my persistence will pay off and get some respect out of it. Chances are I won't be asked to return. But then - who cares.

wow i love your courage! you know i have always been related to "talkative" too.. but i dont' understand why we can't be "talkative" artists.. becuase people tend to think that artists should be quiet and live in their own world.. but how wonderful would it be if all artists would open up themselves and share their knowledge.. it would only make better art!

I liked reading your story and I applaude you for your genius. You took your little setback and came out on top.You are the winner in this situation,not that guy with the attitude. Even if you never do the show again,you did get in and thats what counts.If he can't handle being around someone who talks and has a nice personality like you do,thats his tough luck. I too am a talkative artist and the way that I look it,is if people can't deal with me having a personality too bad. I wish you alot of success with your show . You sound like you have a very good plan to promote yourself.Go get em!!
