Thoughts on the National...

Your response sounded weird and bitter.

Graig,

I have attended two National Conventions. While I have gone there with a specific plan as to what to purchase, I have also found that i have saved and purchased items from vendors sometimes months after I met them at the show. From that standpoint, I feel that going to a future National will be very beneficial to you and I really hope that you go to next year's National in Chicago so I can meet you!

Your paintings speak for themselves and will attract people to your booth. Personally, if you sell some 5x7's I know that I would purchase a couple. You are a very talented artist! Keep doing what you are doing and you will gain even more notoriety. That happened to a friend of my family who was able to attain a very high degree of acclaim.
Best of luck to you and I will say this again. Please go to the National in Chicago next year!

I agree with Ben. I've only bought two paintings in my life, so obviously I have no collecting inclination in that direction, and both of those paintings are Graig's. That says something about his work and it's ability to sway hobbyists toward related items they wouldn't normally purchase.

Damn, Lance. You just had to go there. Didn't you.
