So Lately I've Been Thinking About Prints ..
Where's the best place to list them, offer them, and maybe sell them? Should I be looking for an online shop that does it all for me or should I be considering having my own printed and selling them on a site like ebay or esty? I have no clue..
Should I even be considering selling prints at all?
Really though, is there even a market for my art? I think we all.. all of us artists.. ponder this type of stuff sometimes. I'm not looking to get rich selling my art, or looking to make a name for myself. I am simple looking to generate some good vibes, boost my self esteem and maybe grab a little fiat for new supplies and a beer. Not too much to ask I think.
So Being New To The Art Talk Community..
I figured I would put something out there about this topic to see what others are doing or thinking. I really have no clue where to begin if I would decide that this is something I would like to do. Any advice would be appreciated.
The Art .. 'Caribbean Nights' ..
This piece above is a digital altercation to a watercolor painting I made a few months ago. I changed it to be a little less realistic and a bit more festive and fun. To me it represents the feeling of relaxing outdoors, at a Caribbean resort, on a warm and beautiful night. I can almost hear the island music along with the sound of the warm island breezes, as they blow through the palm leaves creating a wonderful rustling sound.
I think the pastel colors, cool and warm tones, help bring memories of past trips right to the forefront of my mind. I remember those warm tropical nights, where I was spending some much needed time just enjoying life. I was really, really enjoying the whole experience. Of course it was only a matter of time before I had to return to reality. Memories are a priceless thing if you really think about it. So much of my art is created around my experiences and memories.
But, Can I Make Someone Else Feel That Through My Art?
Enough to buy a print of it even?
Guess I won't know unless I try.

My NFT Art Pieces Can Be Found on NFT Showroom
Good question. I haven't sold my art. I have some really cool ICM (Intentional Camera Movement) pictures I am considering making NFTs. It seems that the work to figure out where the art would sell and managing another system is too much for me personally. I will be interested to see what others say.
Oh cool. I like ICM and often try for some cool shots using all sorts of manipulation.. mostly in low light with a lengthy shutter speed. Selling art is such an undertaking. I often think that it may just give me something fun to do in retirement (if that ever comes around - lol). I've sold a few here and there but was thinking that some may just want to spend a few dollars rather than a few hundred.
THANK YOU for the generous HIVE gift 😁. You did not need to do that.
Jarvie?? Are you related to the the guy I used to know from Steem/Hive that likes to hike with his dogs? Or maybe I am thinking of someone else. If so ignore my ramblings lol.
Not sure I can really help you there. I have a feeling that dealing with all of the shipping might be the most aggravating part of the whole thing. I hope you figure something out though. There have been a couple of your pieces that I might have considered buying if the price was right :) Do you have any local galleries that you can work with to have them display and sell them? What about flea markets? I know you probably don't want to get that involved, but you might be able to find someone who already has a booth that will be the middle man for you.
Your NO help at all Bozz! lol. I did look into local venues at one time and realized that I really have no time. haha. A middle man is a good thought though! Thanks for that idea. I may know a few people. See... You are a big help! 😁
I'll have to look into a few things. Like I said, it would be nice to buy a few beers with or new art supplies.
You're too much! Stop being so nice.. I know my stuff sucks 😜
