Craft Fair Solihull - Saturday 18th August 2012

Tomorrow I'm running a small stall at an Art and Crafts fair in Solihull. I'll have a selection of fine art open edition prints of my work for sale. I will also be taking bookings from any Solihull residents who wish to commission a painting.

I've not run a stall before, so I'm not sure what to expect, but I'm sure it'll be an interesting experience if nothing else.

As an antidote to the notion that running a stall at an arts and crafts fair might not be the manliest thing in the world, I will be taking payment in the form of blood, meat, women and beer.

As always, be sure to visit www.artbylukebennett.com for more original wildlife paintings and prints and to commission a pet portrait, a family portrait or any other subject.

Reeeead Alllll Abouuuut It!

I managed to get myself into the local paper - The Solihull News - last week after suggesting a story about me seeking self employment as an artist, post redundancy. Given the media's obsession with these Harsh Economic Times™ and the country still In The Grip of Recession©, they gladly accepted my story. Which was nice.

The more exposure I can get, the better, and with any luck there will be plenty of new people in the Solihull area alerted to my services by the article. Those service being pet portraits, human portraits, original artwork, prints and more, in Solihull, Warwickshire, Birmingham and beyond. Ahem.
