Selling my own work is far, far better than dealing with art galleries on a consignment basis. I have a billion nightmare stories I could tell about gallery owners and so does every other professional I know, although they continue to put up with it. I only have one such gallery and it's owned by my cousin, so we have no issues whatever, and she's the only one to whom I will EVER consign my work from now on.
At any rate, keep going @tonyr
