Supporting my PM action with an art festival show this weekend in Atlanta - OT?

So I've hinted at something I do here on the sly tip a few times. Quick precursor:

Myself and sleep don't get along too well and my day gig is fairly mundane after 16 years (has it's moments), so I tend to mess around in my studio doing artwork to get some creative outlet at night to the dismay of my ridiculously supportive wifey.
Even though she thinks some studio time is like a hit of Leary's good stuff being licked off a mistress's bewb and I lose total track of time.

Anyway, this weekend I'm doing a spring show/festival where I'll be showing and selling the paintings of sed buzztastical ventures. It's not a Dogwood Festival (Atlanta reference) size thing, but I support this one as it's the first spring one at this locale and we're all donating auction items for charity.

It's right downtown in Atlanta, in one of those rental storage facility things which is industrial and different for a festival/market type event. Artists/vendors get a storage unit to display things, you come in and walk it, it's not outside in the southern heat/humidity, check out the local artists, buy some original artwork from me (or trade for PMs) for the missuses.

If anyone is in metro Atlanta and looking for something to do, come make fun of my goatee (or buy/swap an original painting so I can flip for some bullion action):

151 Midtown Arts & Market - Spring Edition
Sat/Sun 11am-6pm each day
Start Time: Saturday, May 8, 2010 at 11:00am
End Time: Sunday, May 9, 2010 at 6:00pm
Location: 151 14th Street, NW, Atlanta, GA 30318

My artwork is all over the place, but the best descriptions I guess are folk and abstract. I'm horrible at describing it.

Point:
I will be all up on some PM<->art trading action if folks are interested and want to swing by to check things out and maybe make a deal. Save a bst/dealer/artist multi-swap. Stay out of the bank for mom-day original artwork gifts basically.

I will always consider PM/coin trades, and will cut deals vs cash as always. As an example of my style, I will have these available (along with many others), and hit me up if you'd seriously be interested in making a deal and would like to see anything else - I have tons of charcoal/pastel work too.

I always liked this one even though reviews have been very mixed

    Very nice paintings indeed! Bright colors and smooth lines, I like them.
    Keep it up!

    Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks Ciccio! I'm always hesitant to even mention that I do this and I appreciate it.

    And I'd love to do some swaps...taking out the cash middleman of course! I'll probably have 20-25ish pieces at this show. NO 1099 NEEDED - HA!

    I've got stuff hanging up all over N.A. - NY, Florida, Minnesota, Santa Fe, Atlanta, Toronto - and would love to expand. Shipping on paintings stinks, but swapping for bullion doesn't, and I'll work something on the shipping if anybody is interested here on swapping....
