Have I made it to New York yet?

Imagine...Seeing my art displayed at Times Square!  How exciting is that? I tell you, it is something that thrills me to the tips of my toes!  I'm no Picasso but I know art! I've wondered if I will ever find someone who will go "I love your works of art!  Give me all of them! Price is no object!"  Yes I am dreaming. That's why I put the word 'imagine' first.

The reality of the art world is that there are a lot of great artists - not just hacks - out there that do a lot better than I do.  The thing is they are not me.  Hallelujah for that!  I am still hopeful but trepidatious because I know there are way too many people waiting to take advantage of my talent too.  I learned by applying to so many different places that are saying...We can show you more if you pay us.  Sorry, all! I can't even afford to pay attention to you anymore!! I'm trying this one because I want to get into the markets that will take my art seriously.  I have L.A. styled art.  I am not a cute little artist...I am a SERIOUS artist!  I am only a clown because I choose to be.  It's a skill set! It's a job to get extra cash because I can't figure out anything else that I excel in other than art.  Art jobs do not find me in St. Catharines or Thorold! I fade out of memory too quickly perhaps.  Oh well!

So, I aim my sights higher...Try New York or L.A. Perhaps I can get further ahead somewhere...Hmmm...Enough talk for now...Time for ACTION!!!
