Another thing I've considered, which could rustle up some notice from the publishing industry, is to produce a book as a Kickstarter project. I have an idea for a curated project, an art book with a specific theme, that I think would have wide appeal. Not ready to divulge the specific idea yet, but if what I envision were to come together it would be an awesome product.
@d_rek: I think you're right. I've toyed with the idea of joining the STL Art Museum (SLAM)'s Young Friends association. From what I can tell, the art scene around here is pretty small, and heavily dominated by the presence of St. Louis's most well-known design firm. They seem to snatch up most of the interesting work in town, and have the manpower to get it done. But I feel like if people around here knew that I can produce work of similar quality for much less money, they'd be intrigued.
- I'm not all that gung-ho about the art scene anymore. I kept hearing a recurring theme about in-house or pro-bono only.gramme
