You're the Rock Star

Imagine being on a list of "insiders" for your favorite rock star or musician.

Said rock star emails you about new songs, sends you invitations to private events, sends you back stage passes, and invites you to get new music, tickets or merchandise before anyone else. [1]  In fact, this rock star even responds to you via email and blog post comments (and even by phone if you're a really good customer).  

How cool would that be?

That's who you are to your followers.

You're the Rock Star.

And you should be doing the things I described above.

If you didn't know that....well, now you do.

Sincerely,

Clint Watson

Footnote [1]:

new songs = new art works

private events = studio events / pre-show events

back stage passes = entry to your exhibits before general public / dinner with you before/after your exhibit opening

music/tickets/merchandise before anyone else = chance to buy new art/prints/postcards before you post to your website or make available

I appreciate this post and will do just as you suggested in the future. I think like this about other artists whom I admire, but hadn't put it into my vocabulary about myself..and you are right. Thanks.

Cool! I like this analogy - a lot. It really made me feel good about myself. I guess that's the reaction you were looking for and I thank you.

Your fans appreciate it when you share your talents with the world. They do look up to you if they do not create art themselves. They like to see what new things you are working on.
