Crap You Can Buy

Posted in Website Info, General Business at 12:19 pm by April

I’m working on a CafePress Store. Right now I only have a few things, but I’ll be adding more as I get more painting images uploaded. Check it out here www.cafepress.com/dancingrabbit. I’ve also decided to use the name version of my website (www.aprilburris.com) primarily instead of www.dancingrabbitstudio.com. This change is mainly due to the name Dancing Rabbit Studio being so damn long but also because I want to use my signature in my logo. So… (drumroll, please) here it is. The new logo!!! Ta-Da!

Of course, if you just looooove www.dancingrabbitstudio.com, it’ll still be active and you can still use it.

New Stuff…

Posted in General Business at 12:17 pm by April

Hello everyone! I know I’ve really been slacking off lately on the website and blog. Don’t worry, though… I haven’t stopped painting. I’m slowly getting back into the swing of things with my internet business. Lately I’ve been focusing on marketing locally a little more by doing the Little Rock Farmer’s Market to slowly begin creating a local buzz about my work. I figure, hell, I live here. I should be selling here too.

And it’s working.

Last week I was invited to join a fabulous showroom on Cantrell called “Elements of Design and today I’m really focusing on creating some new things for that exhibit as well as some bigger gallery pieces for other hangings. I’m going BIG! I’ll be selling small stuff (24″x24″ and below) on Ebay and at small markets for cheap ($200 and below) and keeping the big stuff (from 24″x30″ to 60″+) for upscale showings.

I’m also teaching a class every other Tuesday at 2PM at a local retirement home http://goodshepherdcommunity.com. Since I committed to teach, I keep hearing that teaching is the best way to learn, so we’ll see if my work improves dramatically over the next couple of months.

Last bit (I think) of news… Today I was accepted to hang at the Starving Artist Cafe in downtown Little Rock www.starvingartistcafe.net. I’ll be painting at the Starving Artist during dinner Thursday, October 12 and Wednesday, October 25. I think I’m bringing work for sale as well, so hopefully this will turn out to be a profitable venture. Hey, any exposure is good, no matter how small.

Oh, one more thing. The Artery opened Saturday night in Eureka Springs http://www.eurekaspringsartists.com/artery.shtml. I know they won’t have the new Artery posted anytime soon, but my panel is the third from the left, right next to the ‘Thanks to…” board. Actually, you know what? Here it is.
