I’ve been thinking a lot about marketing lately, specifically how to write good emails to people to invite them to your shows. It’s particularly difficult to explain my live visual work, which sometimes requires diagrams, graphs and a notary public to explain in person. Thus, and therefore, I was tickled pink by a visualist promo email I got from the PIMAtalk list today. Note to my Chicago friends: check this out and tell me how it is! Please.
