Something I'm going to try

So, I have a show coming up in about a week.
Nothing to crazy, I entered into a battle of the bands. Should be fun if anything. Would be cool to win the top spot for the night. The prize is a day of recording and some promotion.

Even if I don't place I will be getting to play for a whole bunch of people I don't normally reach. It is exposure, none the less, to possible new fans.

The one thing that I am going to do different that what my mind has always been on is with merchandise. Every one will have T shirts and CD and odds and ends. I'll have my little stack of CD's sitting there as per usual, but what I will be bringing that is different is a stack of small paintings.

I'll have about 10 or 12 little acrylic painting set up to offer. There are a few examples over on my other blog if anyone wants to take a quick look. www.thepainthabbit.blogspot.com
Material wise these didn't cost me a lot. It took me a little bit of time to figure out what to paint, what I could paint quickly, and was not super time consuming. I'm hoping because it is unusual that it might make people slow down and chat and even better spend a few dollars at my table.

So in the quest for ideas and new revenue streams I thought I would give it a spin and see what happens.
Could work of anyone. Right?

I'll let you know How it goes.

Cheers!
