April — Milly Milk Ville

Spring is here and everyone is eager to go out to get some tan, to absorb the vitamin D that is so vital for our mental health. I’ve been lucky in some way. I’m slowly getting a little more in bulk order. It is not an easy process since all the work I’m doing now is repetitive. Further more, client always wants it in a very tight timeline to be done. My first bulk order was last year November. It was really tight timeline, but good things the product she chose were easier to dry and took shorter time. I understood, clients are busy with work, and entertaining small business like mine, sometimes can be a nuisance. I constantly need assurance to make sure that my small little product that I made will not be waste, or even paid. Though the first bulk order was easier, my client pay upfront. So I have no problem. Anyway, that is the risk I must take.

Another good news, though I’m a little reluctant to share because I really don’t want to jinx it. I’ve been selected for an International Virtual 2024 exhibition. So far, what they said I will be given a permanent feature in their website and I might be able to display my art in some exhibition. Details has not been given yet, but receiving this out of the blue after the submission since January, is a very surprise for me. I’m really happy and after countless of rejection, this news sure given me some hope to continue my artwork.

With this news, I’ve submitted another open call, I’ve targeted it since January as well. It is from Taiwan, a very famous gallery call Tao Yuan Museum of Fine Art. I’ve just submitted this early April and let’s finger cross. Here are the work that I’ve submitted.

Before I finish my blog here, I’ve a good article I would like to share. It is regarding Open calls and so called vanity gallery. This will be in my later post, cause I’m waiting for an approval of the owner to grant me permission to show the list. So stay tune.
