Artists Supporting Artists

From Gray Photo Studio Blog, Nov. 2018

Artists Supporting Artists
Over the years I have connected with some great artists online. The majority are photographers, and mostly in the black and white medium.
We have messaged, shared each other's work and worked through technical difficulties. It's been a great support system!

Although many of us are still pinching pennies to get by, the desire to support one another is strong. I try to buy their work when I can afford to, usually in forms of greeting cards or smaller prints. By the way, I have a great collection of these things from over the years, which makes it even more enjoyable. How many people can say they know the artists personally whose work hangs on their walls?

My most recent purchase is from a well know photographer who has made a name for himself through prints, licensing, and exhibits. I don't know how he does it, well other than have great work of course, but he's succeeded in all of the outlets I aspire to.

I wanted to thank him for some behind the scenes help he offered that really saved me. He's quite humble and says he's done nothing, and happy to help, but it would have taken me hours if not days to sort out some technical issues I was having.

I purchased a set of cards as a small way of saying thank you.

Keith Dotson Photography is where you can find his great images. Google him and you'll find several locations for his work.

On my Facebook page Gray by Design, I also try to share as many helpful articles as I can find for all mediums of art, especially in marketing, as we are all diligently working on this every single day.

So I encourage my fellow artists to support your tribe. If you can't afford to buy their work yet, at least share their page or their works, to show support.
We're all in this together!
