It is somewhat intimidating to see this art up there being so different from my own. I pointed out to my friend who introduced me to the place, that it takes me about three weeks to create a large piece and that is without the planning of the subject and the time it takes me to get inspired. I often wonder what inspires other artists and how fast they are able to turn out their work. Nonetheless, I am forgeing ahead.
This weekend I decided to forego picture frames as I will need to cover a lot of area and most of my art work is in 11x17 prints. That's a lot of frames folks! So I decided on mounting the prints on foam core. I would prefer framed art but I was pleased with the results. The foam core shows off the art very well because there is no frame to inhibit the work. It can be seen just as it is. The limitations are that if someone wants to buy a piece they have to frame it themselves. Some people may not want to do that. I know I wouldn't want to but I figure this is my first time displaying any of my work and I can't afford to frame it all. I honestly just want it to be seen and I guess you gotta start somewhere.
My other thought was to enlarge some of the work which looks great because you can see very clearly how each dot makes up the picture. This would take up quite a bit of space but it won't fill all of it. I really only have 12 different completed pieces to display and only so many copies in different sizes before that becomes boring. 
So back to work. What more inspiration do I need than a place to display my work!
