Getting My House In Order...
Checking out Alyson B Stanfield's resourceful ArtBizBlog reminded me of a job I've needed to do for ages. Administrative work is rarely fun but if practised little and often can mean an artist/designer/illustrator actually spends more time in the studio.
In my case, using captions under each painting and print that I've published here, on my Facebook page and on my portfolio site mean my audience has a clear understanding of name, size, medium and year of production in addition to looking more professional. One master document is all I need to copy and paste into these platforms.
It's not rocket science but a small spring clean goes a long way when adding more works to your portfolio in the future.

Network and support resource
An issue I'm experiencing working in isolation and with time constraints is how to find opportunities to network with other like-minded individuals. Online resources can only compensate so much for this but one site I've found that has a lot of value is http://www.a-n.co.uk/ which supports contemporary art practice. In addition to this I found cheap public liability insurance through AIR which I needed for my exhibition at the Limetree. If you need help, guidance or someone to comment on your project the forums also provide good support. Check them out!
