A flyer for my first exhibition - in Japan!I recently discovered a bunch in London who run an art group for European and Japanese artists. It looked like a good thing, so I joined. Consequently, I have a new website and there's a Japanese translation:

There's going to be an exhibition in London soon organised by this group which I'll be taking part in, which is very exciting. I'm also having a small show at a local cafe where I hope to seel a few bits and bobs, plus there's a other possibility in London as well as another artist group to enquire about joining.
It's all go and trying to live by your art like means a lot of go. I've got quite a bit of time coming up with no work - the recession is biting into the Business English market. This is a pain money-wise, but a great opportunity to sit down and get my business into shape.
Meanwhile here's another website that I set up recently. It was easy peasy Japanesy to set up as it was a ready made template, especially for artists - all I had to do was upload.

I'd recommend these folk out as they run a very professional service, plus there's tons additional information for artists on the site itself such as competitions and job opportunities, as well as business advice. I've already persuaded my friend to have a website hosted there. Which was great, because last week some critter tried to scam a lot of artists by sending out an email saying he was looking for paintings for his new apartment and asking about the possibility of sending a banker's draft (which would've bounced!) to pay for work! Luckily the site owners are wise to that kind of thing and emailed us. Check them out if you're looking for a decent website:

Any business advice appreciated! (And thank you in advance if you're a billionaire hotelier looking for some colourful new paintings for your premises.)
