For those of you who might have seen the Facebook crosspost about having art in the gallery: it didn't happen. I posted about it already on tumblr and I can repost that here later when I'm not on my phone, but the short version is, it's a juried show now, and my stuff got rejected. The main reason being, it wasn't a cohesive body of work. I don't have a noticeable style or "brand." In other words, as an artist I'm too abnormal and outside of the mainstream. Which I knew. But I didn't know it mattered. But if what they want now is artists who have a recognizable "brand" - that's not me. And because they didn't send any notice out to those who didn't get accepted, I didn't find this out until I was at con.

In other words, yesterday sucked hard.
