One Thousand Paintings, Money, and Marketing
More power to them... Today I came across Seth Godin's post about the One Thousand Paintings craze and then just now I read the Art News Blog's interview with Anthony White.
What these two artists have in common is that they've taken something simple and turned it into art that people are clamoring to buy. It's amazing what word of mouth marketing and a few testimonials can do for one's art career. This is what Anthony White says:
"A lot of locals hate my work but I find that they do the best job when it comes to advertising."
Isn't it funny that the people who hate actually do the most talking about you? I'm not talking about me, of course! It's just a general statement :)

It's definately an idea that gets people talking. People either love them or hate them. I havnt heard anyone say theyre just alright.
