Anthony’s goal is to get people to your website.   Says Anthony, “If they don’t see your artwork, there’s no way for them to buy it.  I assist artists to thrive in an ever-changing digital marketplace.  Artists struggle to adapt and grow as the Internet changes around them, but those that are able to successfully embrace change eventually evolve into the extraordinary companies of tomorrow.”  Not only has he created many custom design websites for artists, he helps them market their artwork.

Journalists are always looking for great stories … and journalists are always being presented story ideas that are mediocre. How do you make YOUR story one of the article pitches that make journalists feel they have a great story on their hands? SKB Writer-at-Large Bob Bahr has worked as managing editor of American Artist magazine, project editor for Drawing magazine, online editor for PleinAir magazine, and writer for these and many other magazines, newspapers, and websites. His suggestion to artists trying to get articles done on them is to determine one’s Unique Selling Proposition (USP). What makes your story unique, and what makes it something their readers will want to see? Bahr is currently a writer and painter living in New York City, but he makes his way to Dubois at least once a year, and during SKB’s 2018 Artist Rendezvous, he will offer one-on-one consultations with interested SKBers during select days of the event.
