To begin with, working on commission, creating a work of art on spec from scratch for someone other than yourself, is totally different than selling a finished piece at a show, at a gallery, or out of your studio. Selling a completed work of art is an event; producing a work of art on commission for another party is a relationship.

Artist Tips to be Famous and Make Lots of Money << Back to Articles for Artists Q: Could you please look at my art, and tell me what you think? Also, what do you think of my website? A: Artists send out tons of these random requests to art business professionals like myself, messages in bottles tossed onto the sea, believing that someone somewhere will ultimately respond-- perhaps the Good Fairy, perhaps the White Knight, perhaps me-- and rescue them, and whoosh them away to fame, fortune, and scrillions of dollars. Emailing people you don't know and asking them to do a bunch of stuff for you for free does not help. You have no idea who they are either. The belief that you can hawk your art, without qualification or recommendation, to galleries and agents all over the face of the earth until someone falls in love with it to the point where they take on all of your business affairs and leave you to toil happily away in the studio is a fantasy. As for the galleries and agents you're asking, they only show art they think they can sell.
