ARTPRINT update and looking back on 2012

Thank you for your support first of all! I thank you for my happiness as my art business could grow into a more international endeavour in 2012! I especially want to thank Leslie Byrd Seata and Dreama Tolle Perry, with their artistshelpingartists radio. That really carried me further. Books - so many (audio) books on topics like marketing and the art business helped. By Alison Stanfield, Jack White, David Garfinkel. The latest from David Allen to get it all in gear again. As the work and attention peaked. 
Thanks to the podcasters Michael Stelzner, Chris Brogan, Derek Halpern, Michael Hyatt, the interviews with Seth Godin, videos by Gary Vaynerchuck, and others.

The Artprint is almost all sent out. A few might wait still- but ending those loose ends as we speak. Every week new subscibers are added to receive it- but nothing compared to the workflow (overload) that I experienced around Christmas- and into January. It literally got me sick! The folding, stamping, signing, plastifying, etc. Why do that all yourself? Dumb! This second edition of 'the Artprint' went out over 1000x to over 25 countries and this has cost me a fortune in stamps. But nothing compares to having something REAL in your hands. Even if it's 'just paper'. I always have been into mailing things out. I started with crafted stuff- 20 years ago. Now I take it all to a very good printer. Did you know I was educated as a graphic designer? That explaines it. I also have a fetish for office supplies :) Ok that wraps it up. Still haven't seen any print- and would like to have it? Or never asked me for it? enquire here.
