I am the founder of Bold Star Communications. It is a marketing and publishing company. I've been in the art business since 1988 when I started working with Decor Magazine. A 130-year old publication that serves the art and picture framing retailer industry. During that time, I've seen lots of changes in the business with more expected. Bold Star Communcations published my first book, How to Profit from the Art Print Market. It was a selection for the North Light Book Club and was excerpted in The Artist's Magazine. The book regularly ranks among the best selling books on Amazon's Business of Art list
I also publish the Art Print Issues. The business blog visual artists get. It covers news, views, people, technology and trends in the fine art print and giclee market. I also do art marketing consulting by phone and via email. You can learn more about me, my book and my consulting and workshops at www.barneydavey.com. I have a couple of other books that are close to coming to market. One of mine and another by an author working with Bold Star Communications.
These are my passions and my hobbies. I have a full-time job that supports them and that provides health care. Someday, I'll retire or publish enough books to go full-time. In the meantime, I never want for something to do.
