My Paintings on Etsy.com
January 29th, 2008
Last night I read this article on Etsy about this couple who has sold 1300 prints, of their drawings, in just 3 months with very very little advertising. Basically a few blogs liked their stuff and wrote about it and, badda boom badda bing, they hit the jackpot. It inspired me to start posting some paintings, available as prints, on etsy. Just kinda droppin’ my line in the pond to see if anything bites, or however you say that. I think sometimes I take myself too seriously, or feel like I need to have perfection in a cohesive 20 piece body of work, accompanied by a meaningful and awe inspiring artist statment, along with a degree in fine arts, before I can even think about putting any of my work out there.
So, here’s my little etsy store now. Look for more paintings to be added frequently.

Wow, I haven’t heard of that couple on Etsy…Good for them!
Let’s hope it works for us too!
Thanks for adding me to your blog roll…I’ll be sure to do the same.

How awesome for that couple. I know several people that sell prints of their work and they sell really well so advertising your prints I think is a good move
Good luck!
