Dreams of the Turtle King @ the "Fantasy Land" show at JoMar Visions studios

Despite the torrential downpours coming through in waves in Houston, we had some folks come by JoMar Vision Studios to see the art for the "Fantasy Land" show.

Nancy's illustrations were a nice addition to the show.
Below is a cell phone shot of the set up.

There were 7 illustrations framed and hanging on the wall as well as a framed copy of the cover image. Each illustration was also available as a matted print (in the black canvas holder).

I also offered autograph copies of the book for sale (wood podium) and put out Nancy's cards and postcards for people to take home (wood podium).

We held a raffle for the framed cover image (see the blue tickets on the chair!). It was a lot of fun and helped engage people with the artwork and the story of the book. A fellow artist who bought a copy of the book for her daughter won the cover image!

We sold 3 matted prints and 2 books in total.
A copy of the Cover:

Sand Castles
Pigeon

I am hoping to have the illustrations at a local Art League show that is themed "Art inspired by poetry" in early January as well.

The secret? I used to manage a Quality Assurance/Quality Control group in India for my old company's business unit in Pune. It was one of the most fun and challenging experiences in my professional career. The people were great and I do miss working with them. (Hi team!)

So, of course I let them know about my book! It is available on all the international Amazon sites, like Amazon.in, so people can buy the books on the sites geared to them.
It is great fun seeing it on an international site, even if it is just the English version without translation of the book. Maybe in the future???
