Well this post is about 1 month overdue, but I'm posting it anyway because I am exicted. A fellow ImageKind member emailed to tell me that a daily art review blog called "Art Sweet" featured me as the artist of the day May 26, 2008. What a nice surprise!
Quote: "Today’s featured artist is Lisa Whipkey. Lisa is a wonderful multimedia artist. Her use of color, texture and layering is simply fantastic! My favorites are “Love Grows”, “Opium” and “Venice Vase”. - ArtSweet"
I have been blessed to have my work featured on many blogs in the last couple of years (love that free publicity!) and I have had a few kind art reviews too, but I am always excited every time I am ego surfing (google myself) and find that someone liked my work enough to give it some special attention. I believe every artists work speaks to someone and we all like that affirmation that someone out there "gets" what we do. So thanks Art Sweet for making my day!
You know how on most fine art photographer's websites they have a link to a "Press" page (AKA Brag page) showing all the publicity their art has received and the accomplishments of the artist? Well, I'm sort of a newbie to the commercial side of photography so I have not yet had the need to devote a whole page to "Press", but I am working on it!
I have had several blessings lately...A few nice write ups from online art critics & bloggers about some of my pictures & a nice corporate art sale. But perhaps my most brag-worthy thing, IMHO, is having Costco.com select a piece to sell on their website, and possibly, stores later.
A few months ago I was approached with the idea of possibly offering one of my pieces on their site along with a few other artists works. I was, of course, flattered and thrilled at the idea of a large volume of people seeing something I created & possibly purchasing it. I was told that Costco's online sales are nearly equal to that of their stores, so there is potential for a large audience. I'm very excited!
"Placidity" is now available at Costco.com with custom framing options. TAKE ME THERE!
If you like this piece, please check out the rest of my work at ImageKind.com.
Thanks!
