ROULIER'S RUSTY RELIQUES

QUESTIONS ??

Usually when I have an opening or have pieces in a show I invariably get asked many questions relating to the creepier side of my work. I love love love to answer this question which generally goes like this...."wow you are so imaginative"....read this as......gee, do you have serial killers in your family.....or "where does all this (gesturing at the artwork) come from......which reads....gee, did you have a weird childhood? As an artist you have to learn to embrace all sorts of questions that arise from your work. The longer you can talk with a potential customer the better, you never know if that person will buy something or knows someone who will go ga ga over your work.
Generally my flip answer is....."better on the walls than in my head, don't you agree", and things go from there. My rule of thumb is always be as nice and as articulate as you can, because if they are willing to talk it is just another step toward purchase. Don't say "oh I am so shy"......"I don't like talking about my work"....if you are willing to put it out there then be willing to stand by it and talk about it, it's part of the drill? With the economy contracting and lots of competition you must be willing to go that extra step.

COMPUTER OUT OF COMMISSION & DEER KILL

My computer hasn't been working well so it's been the the shop getting a tune up!
Meanwhile we had another snow storm, as usual the weather photo opportunities were great. We also had an unusual thing happen during all of this, we had a mountain lion stash a kill for her and kids just on the other side of my garage! No pictures of that nature episode though.....I could have but.....there will be some good deer bones.

LAST OF THE GALLERY PICTURES

The last of the gallery pictures and we are trying again for another opening which should be fun!! We have good weather scheduled especially for us by Mother Nature!

EVOLUTION TAKES A TURN DOWN A DIFFERENT BRANCH

Well, here are pictures of Friday and Saturday, Friday being our opening and Saturday beginning the start of our show. We could not get out....so obviously I was depressed. We hope to have another opening next week and the weather should be better.......today it's supposed to be in the mid 50's and 70's by weeks end. As you can see by the Newfie sitting next to the snow it was deep, and she's not small.

EVOLUTION OF A SHOW PART 3

Well blizzard warnings for our opening night so-o-o-o-o we'll have to think of a game plan!! More shots frm the gallery.

EVOLUTION OF A SHOW PART 2

More pictures!

EVOLUTION OF A SHOW

Well we got it all hung but already I'm thinking of a few changes but those can be made right before the opening. It always goes like that!! When we got there yesterday morning the other show was still there and they were painting and fixing the walls. So we unloaded and talked a while, and decided to start moving the walls. We got our configuration right after only a few tries because for once I knew how I wanted them to look! More tomorrow......!
