| − | + | (as of 2008-05-07) Several leads but no successful contacts yet. With the revamping of the online store and [[htwiki:Josh|other things]] absorbing a lot of my time and energy, I'm not currently able to work on this. If I ever do manage to get in touch with someone who distributes Flores's work, however, I am definitely interested in carrying it online. | |

The supplier I was in touch with earlier -- "The Art of Alexander Flores" -- dropped their web site, and stopped responding to email queries. Due to my [[htwiki:phone-phobia|phone-phobia]] I was only able to make one or two attempts to contact them by phone; one of those attempts resulted in talking to someone who appeared to know only Spanish, which I don't speak. | The supplier I was in touch with earlier -- "The Art of Alexander Flores" -- dropped their web site, and stopped responding to email queries.

| + | On 2006-10-18, I was contacted by an art distributor in Washington state, <s>[http://www.vidayplacer.com/ Vida Placer]</s> (web domain has been taken over by a [[htyp:domain squatter|domain squatter]]), who says they represent Alexander Flores in the US. I emailed them back to see if they can be a supply channel for Flores pieces so I can offer them again, and sent a follow-up email when I didn't hear back from them, but I never got any confirming reply. (If you are in touch with anyone at Vida Placer, please let them know that Nick at vbz.net would like to be in touch!) | ||
