Well I've hear horror stories like this. My advice is to lie a little.
Don't mention Internet and besides, Judy is not taking orders online
anyway. It's is weird how they have problems with certain kinds of
marketing. Most people who sell art in parking lot art markets have no
trouble getting one.

So this kind of brings out the socialist leanings of my tender youth: "LIE
TO THE CAPITALIST BASTARDS!" Tell them your selling your art privately.

Ohhh... that felt good!

Now back to being a "Capitalist Bastard."
