Art shows, calls for art, etc

Do you submit your work to art shows?  I've been thinking about getting back into it.  I used to submit my work upon occassion ...if I found a show that I really thought suited me.  Have you had any reasonable success with this?  I've done great for local shows but not for those big national and international calls that you see all over the place.  


They have so much promise but sometimes I feel like it's just a big ploy to make someone some money really easily.  I mean, $35 to $50 to submit 3 pieces of work (or less)?  Nevertheless, I'm thinking of getting back to submitting my work but only for the shows that I feel have merit to them.  And I want to build up my portfolio a little bit more.  Most of the time, I feel like I should be making a specific piece for each show but it would be nice to have a stock to pick items from.

Do you submit your work?  What resources do you use to find calls for art?  I know about http://www.artdeadlineslist.com/ and http://artdeadlines.com/ and several others-- what do you use?

Painting with wax- whatcha want to know?

I've been working hard on writing a tutorial about painting with wax.  I have the introductory 'course' written already and some other subjects like using images, embedding objects, etc.  What would you want to learn about?  If you're experienced already or just wondering about encaustic painting...what would you want to know?


Are there specific skills that you'd like to learn?  Any questions that have been wracking your brain?  Let me know!

Post here or email me at jamieribisi{at}gmail.com

I'd love to know so that I can be as thorough as possible!  I have a focus group reading my draft right now and am loving their comments!
