Mike and Michael, your points about why to include that article in your own portfolio are excellent ones. I'm going to print it out for the same reason.
NJ Savvy Living - Affluent Lifestyles did an article on unusual gifts in their winter edition. This is a magazine that caters to northern NJ and obviously to those with money to spare. They contacted me via my website because they wanted to include portraits as an idea for gift-giving, and they found me by doing a search for "NJ portrait artist." The text on portraits was brief:
-- Artist Leslie Ficcaglia of Port Elizabeth suggests creating a new
heirloom as a gift: a portrait of the person. Ficcaglia's subjects have
included Gov. James McGreevey, and she also has created images of
individuals, couples, children, pets and families. Working from her own
photography as well as favored family pictures, she will create original
backgrounds and work to capture the "true essence" of the individual.
Portraits take an average of two months to complete, and prices vary
according to the request. --
Wonderful free publicity, though! Maybe some of their subscribers also read Business Week.
