Just sharing a bit of my artwork
It's for sale as various things like canvas prints and cushions on redbubble and finaeartamerica. Just look up Suzanrs
And if not - just enjoy. After all - it's what I do it for.

STOPDid you think about using steem to sell your artwork? (bc I'm thinking about potentials here, but not seeing them yet)
I did but not entirely sure how. The problem with being artistic is no business sense :/ No idea how to promote etc. the best way.
True it's difficult to sell art. I also looked into it, years ago. Tried to understand how Damien Hirst is doing it. Damien was/is managed by very experienced art managers and promoters. Conclusion: you need people with contacts.
But selling things also needs creativity:-) plus networking with people.
Yep. Michael James Smith the same. I follow his blogs, videos etc and he's always at 'a new painting commissioned'. He is good but even so, so are thousands of non-successful very good artists. But a manager comes at a cost and most of us can't get that far. I sell bits via redbubble as that's easy to do and fineartamerica I've sold one piece. It's a start...
Networking takes time - time I'd rather be painting ;)
The art of selling art :-)

I think you need to boost the art boosts with a booster (kind of ad).
But that is only part of the solution, bc earlier or later boosting becomes to expensive. Building an audience is essential. Maybe even posting art pieces on Instagram and Pinterest.
But I could not figure out, how to make it seamless. The problem is called "customer churn", every step necessary to buy something (whatever it is) means to lose a potential customer.
My idea is, if steemit is a kind of social media on the blockchain, is it also a solution to make selling art more seamless?
At the moment it doesn't seem so, bc their is no steemit shop for art.
My art is digital and can be printed, which makes it more flexible and suitable.
I tried a Facebook campaign for some T-Shirt designs but with no avail, I probably gave up to early. I think you need to plan for much longer time to become successful (maybe 1-2 years).
BTW: art is a top 10 category in steem
nice!
Thank you. Plenty more where they came from :)
