Last day of trading ...

"What Snake Saw in the Smoke" : Digital Painting : Copyright © 2013 by Martin Herbert
On sale at etsy.com!

So... end of an era!  Today is my last day of trading under the name "Spirit Visions". For reasons previously noted (here), I'm abandoning all the branding and concentrating on making fine-art under my own name. From now on I'm leaving the selling and making money to the people who are best qualified to do it - i.e. the dealers and gallerists. There is something considerably liberating in freeing myself from the self-induced pressure to be marketing manager, advertiser and salesman as well artist. Hopefully that means a lot more time and energy to make a lot more art! To that end there will soon be a new website at martinherbert.com, and to keep in touch you can follow this blog (see "Follow by email..." at top right) and subscribe to the newsletter (click here).

(Of course there remains the small matter of finding one or more dealers who are actually prepared to represent me, but, hey ... details. Actually, of course, I wouldn't be making this move if I didn't have some encouragement in that direction!).

Anyway... today is the last day and I should, for the last time, point out that all fine-art prints, posters and greetings cards in my shop at etsy.com are on sale for the last time today at HALF PRICE.  Enter the discount coupon code CLOSING50 during checkout for 50% off your whole order. Click here to go to the shop.

There ... that's the last time I will need to make any crass commercial announcements through social media! Time to celebrate!

All the best,
Martin

So, as per my previous posting, I'm ceasing all on-line operations from 31st August. (Well, it might take me a while to get everything taken down after that, but that's the general principle).

Hence, for the last week, starting today - Sunday 25th August, everything at etsy.com is HALF PRICE (woohoo!).

Enter the discount code CLOSING50 during checkout for 50% off your whole order. This is in addition to any individual item price reductions I might already have made.

Additional bargains on other sites as already posted - see here for details.

Bargains!!! Go get 'em!!! (etc.)

Like some art ... get it cheap!!

Go to the shop ... get stuff!  Now!  (Is this working yet?)

OK ... new policy ... from today, whenever anyone adds one of my pieces to a treasury on etsy.com, I'm going to reduce that item in my shop by 10% for a week - keep an eye on Facebook and Twitter for announcements!  (Click on those links right there to follow me on FB or Twitter if you're not already doing so!).

So - if you have an etsy.com account and you'd like 10% discount on any of my work, you know what to do ... go create a treasury that includes one of my pieces and tell me about it.  It shall be announced to the world AND that piece will be discounted for a week!

Go treasure, now!
