..Dear MedEx Artists..
Thanks for your patience, to those who still have any, and my apologies for the impatience some of you have expressed.
I took on more than I could handle with this show. That's the long and short of it. I've never hosted a show like this before, and I'm afraid I learned the hard way certain unexpected factors. The responsibility of it all, the long hours involved, and the expense of it were huge.
Thank you for sending your work to help legitimize our stuffed toy genre in a new (booming) town. We accomplished that.
For the record, none of my own work, nor any of my books, were shown at this event. This show was for you guys and for our industry at large. The show drew tremendous crowds, and all of your stickers, business cards, pins and other freebies were taken away by viewers. All of you now have new fans and onlookers, and hopefully in time, clients.
I will start packing and shipping your work back to you this week.
I won't be doing an online leg of this show. Sorry to those of you whom this news disappoints. I tried to get it done, but it was more complex a task than I could handle with my fledgeling web programming skills and my scant time reserves. I should have foreseen these shortcomings, but alas, I had the moon in my eyes. Other factors now come into play, most recent being the death of my venerable computer. And anyway, only about five of you said you were interested.
Still, I said I'd do it, I didn't and I am sorry for keeping your work weeks after the end of the show. It is great work, and I'm sure you'll find a buyer for it.
It was an honor to work with all of you on this project. Visitors from all over the state came to see your work, and the show drew a continuous crowd throughout its display. Rob, the gallery manager and owner of PUSH said it was probably the most well-attended show he'd ever hosted.
People here in town are still asking me about the show, and wondering when another will come along. Heh.. One day, surely. Once I've adequately learned the processes.
Trust me, if I ever ask any of you to do a show with me again, I WON'T be organizing the whole thing myself, and I will have much different procedures in place. I will schedule the submission deadline amply before the opening so I can shoot the work and prepare for online sales. And I will launch the online portion the night of the opening. I will make sure the venue hosting it has its own pay pal account, or has handled paying out of state and international artists before.
And I will make myself more available over email and myspace for your legitimate questions. I have a tendency to go into hiding when I suspect disappointment. One of my most inconvenient character traits. Professionalism aside, I am truly human.
At any rate, great show, all of you, and I'm honored to have worked with you.
If I have damaged my reputation in the plush field, then I accept that. I'll work on restoring it. If any of you have anything mean or ugly to say, please email me directly.Thanks..
John
PS: For their intolerable rudeness, two individuals have been blocked and removed. Sorry, you two. I don't know who you think you are to be so atrocious, and this profile is not the forum for such exchanges. I worked hard on that show, gave you exposure, made a sale for one of you, and all I got was bickering in return.
I admitted my shortcomings and those who cared to respond did so favorably. So that's that.
