IF OTHERS LIKE YOUR WORK THEY WILL WANT OTHERS TO SEE IT
Sometimes as an artist you just need to share visuals to add ambiance to a surf shop, a restaurant, or another public venue. If you think your work is good, the ultimate test is to see if you qualify to get into a public display without a hassle and also be the one who gets the invite. This takes social skills as well and patience. Once you get an invite from a shop owner or a manager, than this is a good step towards targeting a local crowd or even stepping into unchartered territory , as far as your art's concerned. This is my three piece Jazz Set at BC SURF in town. The big piece is now on a pair of board shorts. I like how it's lit up at night.
