I've been doing a lot of thinking.
Since my friend Mechelle created me a facebook fan page for my art, I've been thinking of how I can kick-start my art seriously.
I've been thinking of marketing a particular product. Not just selling my art (though that will come into it too) but marketing that customers can send me a photo of their friend, loved one, pet, favourite thing or of themselves and I turn it into a personalisied original portrait with watercolour, collage and stitching. I would mail it back to them (the original, not just a print) complete with frame.
Of course this will depend on how cheaply I can get bulk frames.
Once I've got myself seriously off the ground, with trial portraits, and getting my portfolio up to scratch. I'm going to get myself a paypal account, and create and etsy online store.
It wouldn't just be for art, but for small crafts (that would technically still be classed as small artworks).
Then I think I'll flog my product... around. In magazines, online art blogs that I follow. I'm a bit scared. Because this is a big deal. And I don't know if I could handle lots of orders if they come (this is me being optimistic :P) but I suppose people will understand.
What do you think? Yay? Nay?
