A Whole New Chapter

I've just been hired as a waiter at the local Red Lobster (in Paducah KY, come see me) so I'lll have less free time than I have been used to. At first it seemed like a bad thing, but I think it will be good. It's the opportunity to meet hundreds of people who aren't familiar with my artwork, to be inspired by a whole new world of people and things, plus I think it will help me to focus on my art since I won't have an unlimited time to work on it. I'll have to plan my creating around my life and my job schedule. Some of my friends have been suggesting this to me for years, but I really didn't want to do it. It's a good thing for me right now, plus I'm working in the busiest restaurant in the area, so I plan on making lots of cash. I also plan on rising to the top of the waitstaff, which is just another step in my goal of world domination.

Hand Signed Prints For Sale

I have prints of my acrylic painting for sale in my 1000 Markets shop. All prints are hand signed by me and I've got them for sale at rock bottom prices. the more you buy, the better deal I can give you. Check them out at link I'm hoping to sell enough of these to get some of my bills paid. If I don't I'm probably gonna have to get a real job, something I haven't had to do in a long time. I don't mind having to work, but I'd rather keep putting all my efforts into promoting myself and my art career. I'll keep you posted on my progress. Of course, I may be able to tell you about my progress as I'm cooking your food at IHOP.

The New Year

Happy New Year everyone. It's been a good year so far, but then again it's not even a day old yet. I don't make New Year's resolutions anymore, but I am determined to make this the year that I break through in the art market. I've done well getting my name out there and getting my work seen. I have 475 people following my work on my Facebook fan site (http://bit.ly/3CKyyf) and 66 people following me on Twitter (http://twitter.com/dougbaltz) so over 500 people are instantly aware when I post new work. I've had over three thousand hits to my DeviantArt account in the past six months, so I'm getting plenty of exposure there. I think it's time to go to the next level. That's my goal for 2010.
