Yeah...yeesh! Things have always been a little depressed (economically speaking ) here but I've always managed to do ok in the past by dropping prices & making lots of low-end gift-type things. Not so much anymore. I guess I have to utterly give up on the local market.
I even talked to several local galleries...everyone's just having showings to keep up appearances but NO ONE is buying. The art community is still kicking, but they're doing it for the sake of appearances alone. Anyone still "making it" as a local artist sure isn't selling locally. Big markets are Florida & Vegas & Hawaii...& they're SO competetive to get into. *sigh* It's more than frustrating because honestly, my work has never been better.
It's 3.07 here for the cheap stuff, but only at the biggest discount pumps (like BJ's). 93 octane (which is what we're SUPPOSED to use in our car) is up at 3.40.
