just a postcard isn't enough... call whoever you mailed to and follow up. Make some friends, and network a little. Be your charming self and work it! Art alone is not enough, you need to make connections and friends and be a salesman a little.

How do you think crappy (REALLY crappy too, like Jeff Koons) artists make it, and amazing actually talented people wallow in obscurity?

Oh believe me, i know. I worked in a gallery in SoHo in my summers away from RISD. I witnessed first hand many artists dropping off slides just to have them dumped directly into the garbage.

This is just a small step in the right direction for me. I'm also not expecting to have my first real post school show in Soho, i'm hoping to find a small gallery in Williamsburg, or the East Village or something. Hell i'll show in Hoboken...

its kind of shitty when you realize how sleazy that stuff (networking) is, and how much it's needed to get ahead.
