Detroit Erotica Ball 2

I tried to get photos for the art exhibition printed at a print shop... seems the adult content has them shy. Sucks because I really really want to show some large format work. All that we'll have from that printer are copies of this poster. I'll have 3 copies put on 16x20 foamcore, plus additional prints in 12x18 format.

I am VERY thankful to have the Epson R1900 here at the Submissive Tales studio, which can handle up to 13x19 paper. Photo paper and ink comes at a cost... sometimes I wonder if the artwork that I've seen sold for $50 in a frame takes into account the cost of supplies to create it. I mean net profit on that has to be perhaps $5-10. So you get a couple drinks at the bar for every piece you sell?? Please understand the expense of creation, plus do something to acknowledge the talent of the photographer, model, makeup artist, wardrobe and so forth that went into creating the image seen.

The Ball starts in 32.5 hours, so I've got to get back to selecting, printing, framing activities. Quite a bit to do before showtime, and obviously I'll have to cut that time down more when it comes to being there before the show starts, decorating, and still have to select clothing to wear (that's another 2 hour block out of tomorrow).

I did buy some sweet masks for MCing the event. Hope you'll be there to see the spectacle of several months of work. What has transpired in the past year since the first ball is quite different than the rush of three weeks put into 2007's FIRST Detroit Erotica Ball.
