Then again, maybe Fuld has dropped out of the “Super rich” category (he apparently “sold” his assets to his wife at bargain basement prices)

It's all about the networking. There's a saying I saw somewhere about "the size of your net worth is equal to the size of your net-work..." Networking is very, very, very important - especially right now. And let me add that one of my galleries had a very good December, and the manager said that the super-rich are still buying art.

Overseas sales is intriguing. I've followed up one possibility and am waiting to hear back. My Mongolia travel arranger is Swedish and leads a lot of tours of Swedes. So the thought occurs to me to try to find an outlet there at some point. He's going to link to my website on the their new website, which will be nice. So maybe that's an additional idea- who can you link to that might lead interested eyeballs to your work, locally, nationally, globally?
