recently from The Self-Styled Mr Smith
You remember the chap I am sure, He of Snail Sex fame who appeared in this very blog
This is what he said
"I have been to a few print exhibitions in my time. I expect you have too. Has it ever struck you, as it did me the other day, how popular the prints are that have a small red dot on them?
They always seem to be the ones that sell.
Looking through your website I couldn't see that you had included any little red dots. There maybe an artistic reason for this that I, perhaps, would not appreciate, but I thought I would raise the matter with the idea that you may, in future consider including the odd little red dot in one of the bottom corners of a few of your offerings, to see if it helps to sell the prints for you.
Please don't take this amiss. I would hate you to think that I want to interfere in the creative process, or any other of your processes."
With kind regards,
S.S. Mr. S.
This is Food For thought or is there considerably less to this than meets the eye?
So I have decided to take Mr Smith's good advice
Here are a few of My images with added majikal red dots
 | |||
| British Food |
 |
| Nose Island |
 |
| Madame Naughty Nips |
 |
| Mr Mark Featherhead |
 |
| Jug Woman 1 (after Picasso) |
Now here is the rub
It's come to my notice whilst writing this post
that two of my most popular images have the said red dots built in
 |
| Master Jack and the Haws |
and
 |
| Crow Red Berry |
So now I am thinking perhaps there is considerably more than meets the eye
to Mr Smith's idea than I first thought . . .
As a post script to the postscript I would like to show Mr Smith's Very Own
offering his digital work entitled SOLD
 | ||
| SOLD by Mr Smith
Editors Note
Mr S mith would like
me to communicate the fact
that his work SOLD
is
in fact For Sale
