I have begun working with art consultants and it is a very interesting aspect of selling art. It's usually very site specific and much more collaborative than the average artist may be used to. I compare it to writing for publication. You have to be open to editing. Until I began to be published on a regular basis I had no idea how collaborative writing really is. Not that an editor or art consultant does your work but there are many parameters that doing "our own thing" often ignore. Size, scope, colors, theme....these sorts of things are agreed upon beforehand and the finished piece must look like the proposal. No artistic license in the process once it's been approved! Still, an interesting way of working. Thanks again for the info. Thanks for the links and the info about the publication.
