Tikichic is so right. Check Shag's Shows page daily for updates and Shagmart's new page. As soon as you see a gallery name for an upcoming show, contact them via phone and email, find out if there's prints and/or originals. So far the galleries seem to consistently have a buyer's list for originals that's not hard to get on early and not everyone buys. I was 23rd for 18 originals and still got my first choice. So if you're not crazy about the choices for one show, don't just buy one to have one. It's possible to get one you really want.

I could go on about how much harder it is to get an artist proof print. Jeez. Each gallery has handled the sales differently and being first to email them or first in line can still get you zip. The prices were worth it when I got the chance to buy, but oh what it took to get there.
