    I Know, carry the work, and respect the work of James Binnion. What
    he seemed to forget to mention is a gallery has much more risk +
    overhead than  the artist that makes a product in their studio. Even
    if the artist sells at the same price as the galleries selling the
    artists work, I think it is bad business for any artist to play both
    sides of the market. I have been a artist/ gallery owner for 25
    years and have had to struggle with some the same issues. Bottom line
    many, if not all of the professional artists that we work with, ( and
    we support all of our artists in many ways that are not seen i.e.
    marketing) direct any potential customers in our area or within a
    large territory, to our gallery. To sum it up only several artist
    that we represent and it is all pre arranged and agreed upon,
    successfully do both without creating some kind of conflict.
