This is a first for me. I realized if I wanted to promote my business I would have to bite the bullet and get with the mainstream.
It’s rather difficult teaching this old dog a new trick.
My name is Paul Shafranski and by day I am a Piping Designer with a South Carolina Engineering firm. By nights and weekends I am a pen and ink artist.
Three years ago, after completing a couple of commissions for co-workers, I realized
I might be able to sell my artwork. (My wife had been after me to do so for many
years.) So we started our business, Shafranski Art, LLC.
At first, we decided to have an Internet business only, selling signed and numbered limited edition prints. Before I knew it, my wife had some of my originals in gallery shows and we had purchased a tent, tables, etc., in order to do booth shows.
Selling limited edition prints soon became the selling of original artwork, prints, note cards and t-shirts.
We had our first show of 2011 in April at Winthrop Coliseum in Rock Hill, SC. It was the 2nd Annual Catawba Indian Pow Wow. What a great show! We thank everyone who participated in making it such a good experience.
Our second show was Memorial Day weekend in Blue Ridge, GA. The show was very well put together and we met several nice people. It was extremely hot for that area and I believe that was instrumental in not having the traffic we were all expecting.
Our next show will be July 9-10 in Maggie Valley, NC. What a beautiful area! We did this show in 2010 and had a BLAST!!! Come see us!
That’s all for now.
Hope everyone has a great Monday!
