I'm hoping there may be some Italian viewers out there who know something about ArtExpo in Milan. It's during the Universal Expo next year and I've been invited to participate as an artist. I don't know much about it, or the area of the city it's in (Mecenate area in Milan), but if anyone on here has heard of it, I'd love to hear from you!

I hope you're all enjoying a lovely November--we're already getting snow here in Michigan!

ArtPrize!
If you live in the Great Lakes region of the US, you've probably heard about ArtPrize, a pretty spectacular international art completion held in Grand Rapids, Michigan every fall. If you're planning on visiting this year, be sure to stop by the DeVos Place to say hi! I'm excited to be participating as an artist this year with a brand-new, MASSIVE paper-cut of the night sky, called The Storyteller. Here's a link: http://www.artprize.org/becky-pobst/2014/the-storyteller
I'll be there most evenings and weekends, so if you'd like to make sure I'm there when you stop by, send me a message! I'll be posting photos of the piece here at the completio
Art, love, and losing
I am so blown away by the recent Daily Deviation for my Arabian Nights Remix paper cut! What a wonderful surprise to come back to after a weekend away. I'm so delighted by the kind comments and helpful tips you people have left for me. Big, huge, fat and happy THANK YOU to all of you. Seriously.
I often hear from artists, particularly those that are in the early stages of learning their crafts, that they worry they'll never draw well enough or paint well enough or sculpt well enough. They fuss (understandably) over every criticizm. They vow to give up on contests when they don't win. And I have to tell you--your art will never be for everyon
Lost Book!
I had a seriously cool book when I was a kid about a boy from one of the Southwestern tribes (I thought it was Navajo, but could easily be Hopi) who journeyed through different underworlds. It was magnificently illustrated, definitely a short children's book and I'd love to find it again, but can't remember the name. Does this ring a bell with anyone?
Edit:
I'm pretty certain now it was Hopi, because the boy traveled down a series of ladders to each level, and I think it was 4 levels. By the end of the story, when he reached the surface again, he was wearing a very colorful headdress, much like the kachina (I think it was a coming of age st
How do you handle commissions?
I'm getting to a point now with my paper illustrations that I'm getting commission requests, which, honestly, I don't have much experience with. Drawings (traditional or digital) have never been a problem, since the cost of prints are typically low. But if someone wants a paper illustration, it can cost a lot of money and I want to be sure they'll LOVE it! So I need some advice.
How involved in the process are your buyers? Do you show them thumbnails and then nothing until the end result? Discuss the subject a bit, then don't show them anything until the end? I suppose I could always make the piece and if they're really deeply unhappy with i
