The Convergence of Two Events
One: To protect my artwork during painting and other remodeling activities I have all of it laid on a couple of tables in my basement covered in blankets. No dust or paint will get on it.
When the home repair work is done I’ll select a couple of pieces and hang them on the wall during the time the house is on the market. The rest of the artwork will be rolled up and stored until I move.
Two: One of the first major projects I plan to tackle, after I move and get settled, will be to finish the small book I started with images of my first solo show 2 years ago. I’m going to expand the book to cover the early pieces in my Structures series and add some of my writing.
To publish this book (self published) is going to require a pretty big chunk of start up money.
The Result
Thinking about all the art that needs to be moved and thinking about all of the money I will need to publish my book the obvious solution to ease both problems is to have a moving sale.
Between now and June 15th all of my work is 40% off. If there is a piece you have been wanting now might be the perfect time to buy it.
For example the work above is originally priced at $250 each. With this sale they are $150 a piece. [note: Structures #85 and #88 shown above are not currently available].
If you are interested in purchasing any of my available work please email me for availability and prices.

Good luck with the sale of your house Lisa!
As far as self-publishing the book, have you checked out http://www.blurb.com?? I published a hardcover portfolio of my solo show through Blurb, and I was really impressed with how professional it looked. You can do hardback or paperback, and they do a great job with great prices. Seriously - if you haven’t checked it out, do. You can even set it up so that people can buy your book right through Blurb and they send you a check for the profit (you set the price).

Also check out lulu.com, they do the same type of thing as blurb.com.

Thanks for the pointers Stacey and Jill. I’ve looked at those a bit and the graphic designer I’m using for the book had one also.
