Booksense / Equine Sculpture Begins


I learned today that Booksense asked to be added to the link on the book’s website, along with Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Very nice of them. Heck, I prefer speaking at independent bookstores anyway. All the stores have been good to me, but I feel a particular affinity for the independents, knowing what they’re up against.

Closed the deal today on the equine sculpture by Erik Beier that I’ve referred to before. Rendering of proposal above. This is for the Winbury Group. Corten steel, 1/2″ plate, 1.25 lifesize, beautifully sculpted. It fits the development, and while Erik prefers sculpting contemporary pieces, this type of work pays the bills, and he enjoys it as well. Most artists have had to do the same: Gordon Parks shooting fashion models while still his doing serious work on the side, Edward Steichen same.

These projects also allow me to continue to promote my more contemporary, and often less popular, artists. How much did I close the deal for? Ah, that’s a secret.
