Artists Generally Best at CREATING not SELLING

Artists Generally Best at CREATING not SELLING

Dear Margaret

Great to see you at the OCAF Holidays Market this afternoon.

My rings

​

I wear them to remind that there are many ways to think

and to check to see if I am overly thinking or way over the others

here are the basic thinking meanings behind each single righ

Meditative - Square

logical, rational, fact based, individual thinking

exploring in multiple directions before settling on a SINGLE answer

"AN ANSWER" that probably will lead to a workable SOLUTION

​

Intuitive - Squiggle  (Right Brain stereotype)

imaginary, possible, creative from silly to serious

Negotiative - Circle

Feeling focus

harmony

people focused

heart focused

everyone wins

​

Directive - Triangle

rules focused

traditional

answers from Experts of the backs of the RIGHT BOOKS

systematic

​These also indicate where our strengths lie

analyzing 

synthesizing

feeling

systemizing

artists can work in all 4 and multiple combinations of these 4 (24 to infinite)

Conceive

Create

Produce

Sell

these are 4 basic stages of work

artists seldom are good at all 4.

The best known artists have people that do what they are not good at

Agents, promoters, sales people, production people, etc.

Hope this is useful to you based upon our short conversation

about creating art and then selling it.

Alan

Happy Holidays
