I got there this morning with tons of ideas how I was gonna set up my booth but found out I only had a 3 foot space to work with. I think it was a lot of fun but maybe the wrong venue for my type of work? I didn't sell much and was surrounded by a bunch of women selling jewelry;0) Just thought I'd share an experience. Hopefully I'll do better next time;0( 2009-11-08T01:20:29-05:00 12 2009-11-07T21:51:20-05:00 96451 false false 3775 4725 1 2009-11-08T05:32:26-05:00 207 Haven't been around lately... I've been taking a bit of a break from t-shirt design to work on some more traditional artwork. Just wanted to post some of the things I've been working on. These are all linocuts that I hand carved and printed. The two color designs consisted of 2 separate hand carved blocks for each color.

I've designed two German inspired designs which are below. I was also going to include my other designs in my line. I contacted them 3 months ago and talked to a dude that seemed very excited about my involvement and led me to believe that I was secured a spot. So last week I got a booth request form that was supposed to be just a formality, so I filled it out sent it in. Today I find out I've been REJECTED because the arts and crafts chair person brought up concerns about my designs and deemed my t-shirt designs "inappropriate." Needless to say I'm pissed because I've been led on for so long thinking everything was lined up and good to go, but also because all the other venders are junk vendors. They're selling stupid tie-dyed t-shirts, jewelry, calendars.... just a bunch of junk! So I try to do something in the spirit of the festival and I'm rejected!
