It was my 3rd year in the Sausalito Art Festival and I was pumped.
I had taken Elaine's advice and made really nice 18"x24" prints from
my original painting of "Demando Cat".
We were all set up when the crowds came in and when some folks saw
Demando, a few started screaming, "I have to have that! That's my cat!"
We were newbies. We barely knew how to write up an order or how to give
a customer a print. Roll it? Fold it (no not that). It was chaos for a while. But,
it was clear to me so I said to Elaine, "Pay attention here. Something big
has just happened."
And afterwords we realized that having prints of my art would be the way
of the future for Art That Makes You Laugh©. I wanted all America to be
able to afford what I create. Sure, selling originals is great. But to have
over 400,000 of my works sold, with more to come, I am spreading my
art around, making people laugh.
