Sponsors and press

 

Last night I had dinner in beautiful Albi (a UNESCO World Heritage town) Albi_IMG_1587.JPG_wp.JPG with a potential sponsor for the Picturesque Wine Villages of Bordeaux project.  First thought, today I am preparing for an interview here with the senior journo of La Depeche organised by my friend Charles de Noble. 

The sponsor conversations were with a person who has gradually become a friend this summer is very well connected in London and Monaco and among other things a brilliant photographer.

I now have to confirm a wish list with estimated costs to advance the project.

This costing will be presented in 2 ways, costs for immediate running, meaning what will it cost to ensure I don’t have to worry about basic outgoings for the next 6 to 12 months, outgoings like rent of studio, payments of utilities, replacing and upgrading essential equipment ( may car and wallet are worn out…).

Advanced costs meaning to bring the project to an outcome were the paintings will sell for sensible money in prestigious locations.

The latter would include items like employing an agency to handle publicity and web sites etc, covering costs of setting up several prestigious exhibitions and so on.

I hope after that things will calm down a bit after that besides which I’ll be in Plymouth for a week 16 th to 23 rd.
