IN THE NEWS...

 
Dear Erogenous Souls,
 
The article link below is an interview with the 2009 Master Award Winner, Dirk Westphal with: Tinamarie Bernard (tmbsdre@yahoo.com), a top-rated writer of sex, love and relationships for Examiner.com.   Also, included in the article itself is a link to another piece from the third volume of  our publication series written by Mr. Mark Davis, the founder of obsessionart.com.
 
As illustrated in both articles, today's art market in general (and especially erotic art) is not so favorable to the artists themselves.  In order to stay ahead, an artist must not only be talented and creative in the composition of their work, but most importantly they must learn how to market their work and becomes a good salesperson.  The advancement in technology and the internet have served as a double-edged sword that works both for and against the art market.  One must become very innovative on how/where to present their work, and use the most effective tools that will help their artworks to get noticed.  Please find below a short and interesting interview with Mr. Westphal talking about his experience as a winner, his view on the market, and the need to constantly stay pro-active in creating different avenues to expose your talent.  Also, if you haven't done so, make sure to read the article written by Mr. Davis as well for a more thorough perspective on the erotic art market.
