I’ve been kicking around the idea of trying to sell some of my work for awhile now, and after my experience this weekend with the very complimentary, flirty, and downright attractive older woman who did the prints for a few of my photographs at the Costco Photo Center, I’ve finally decided to get a bit more serious about promoting myself.

I’m working on a new portfolio site right now. Once it’s done, I’ll likely retire the Bruce Hartman Design website permanently. It’s been an incredibly long time since I’ve updated that site anyway, and I gave up monitoring the traffic there a long time ago as well. I’ll keep the domain, but point it to the new site and allow BruceHartmanDesign.com ride off into the sunset like a cowboy who’s been too long in the saddle.

HartmanCreativeArts.com will be the new home for any professional aspirations I have. To begin with, I’m planning to release limited edition photographic prints and one-off pieces of sculpture. I’ll continue to do the consulting and graphic design stuff that I’ve always done, but the main focus will be on fine arts and photography, and less so on the utilitarian graphic work that I’ve concentrated on in the past.

At least that’s what I’m telling myself now.

Not to sound immodest, but I’ve had always had people around me telling me that my work is of high enough quality that I could easily sell it. The thing is, like most underachievers plagued by overwhelming self-doubt, I never really believed them. It’s not a reflection on those friends at all, but a further symptom of my lack of confidence. Super Complimentary Hot Chicks at Costco, however, have a way of making those doubts fade away.

I’m a sucker for a brunette in a push up bra, what can I say?
