It's all about the pr and building brand awareness. It is a long-term investment. If you look at the immediate term, and only "turning a profit", you are missing the boat. Same seems true for your situation. The coffee table book signing idea is a great one. Something classy that people could easily afford... And would undoubtedly lead to future sales. I much prefer this option to selling the small studies (and potentially cheapening the "kreindler brand").

That said... I am intrigued by the agent/artist relationship dynamic. Who makes the final call in the end... You or dean? I'm pretty sure most of us are hoping it's you
