Because an artist has to make money and until
the series is complete and I have a show of all one hundred Dead Fly pieces, I
decided to make up a bunch of Dead Fly Swatters for people who wanted to
support this project and wish to have something to show for their support. They
also work well to swat flies. It took me a while to find a place where I could
get blank "promotional" swatters at a price I could afford. I found
this at Windy
City Novelties near Chicago. They even come individually
wrapped in a cellophane bag which makes the sales look very professional. I was
selling them at The Arts Underground (closed now forever on account of
Covid) and will sell them if I ever get to do an arts festival again. I would
sell them mail-order but haven't found a cheap way to package them yet. If I
ever do have the BIG show, they will be available for sale there. I have lots!
Each one is individually hand stamped (I used the stamp used to create Dead Fly
#46) signed and numbered.
The Dead Fly Project is a series of one hundred paintings, drawings, sculptures, whatever - depicting a dead fly - same fly - over and over again - but different each time by Beverley Conrad. She experiments with different mediums and executes them according to her whim at the time. Sometimes they're pretty, sometimes scary, sometimes funny, sometimes political, and sometimes a fly is just a fly.
