So pretty much every artist ever had artist promo items. Keith Haring made original drawing buttons and gave them to people on the streets. Jean Michael Basquiat had little "ignorant art" promo cards. And you can see on my blog I have received quite a few art promos over the years.
Being a competitive guy, and since the artworld is now focusing it's attention towards the Westcoast (LA in particular), I had to go over the top and make 2 sided artist promo cards that come in "ultra pro" protective clear plastic card sleeves. (I like the "Ultra Pro sleeve" cuz it's almost sarcastic -same as saying "super pro" or "ultra super artist")
Anyways if you see me at a show. Ask me and I'll probably give you one. Here's a few of my favs. "Treat yourself to something of quality" - fortune is my fav."
