Silence is golden

I have done a couple more art cards.  I am putting the one on the right up for sale on eBay.  I think I feel a mask series coming on.  Gosh, do you think I am feeling repressed these days?

Finally, I have bitten the bullet and decided to try and start selling some of my artwork. It is time to find out if there is any sort of a market for the things I create or to discover if I can build one.  When I finally retire from my regular job as a legal analyst in another twelve to fifteen years, I want to be able to concentrate on making art full time. I would love for that time to come sooner if it is at all possible. With my history of breast cancer six years ago, I sometimes fear that I will have a recurrence and never make it to those golden years of freedom and art. Lately, I’ve been doing some extra legal work on a freelance basis to make some additional money, but it is such a mundane and boring activity to throw away my little bit of free time on and it doesn’t satisfy me at all.  I think that, even though I may make no money at all by concentrating on the art, I will at least be happier in how I am spending my time.

So, shown above are two ACEOs that I have up for auction on my eBay site.  I am trying to learn about how it all works and the best ways to market my work. I have determined that I will try to consistently put up new work for auction either at eBay or Etsy and not worry if things do not sell right away.  I also registered at  EBSQ as a self-representing artist.

Shown below is an ACEO I have for sale at Etsy.

Tattooed Cat Hairless Wonder Skull & Ribbons

Here are three new ATCs I have drawn over the past week. “Tattooed Cat” and “Skull & Ribbons” are for a swap and “Hairless Wonder” was just for fun.  In doing research for the cat cards I was startled to discover that some people who own hairless cats actually have them tattooed. I suspect the cats did not have a vote in that decision.

Popsicle

Here is another ATC for the swap where we pick two items from the list of things that players suggest. The items I picked were "fat girls" and "popsicle."

Insect/Light Bulb

Here is my first card for a new swap at iATCs. Each participant names two things or places. The items are placed into two lists, column A and column B. The participants then choose one item from column A and one item from column B and draw or paint an ATC combining those two items. For this card, I chose to combine a light bulb and an insect. Fun stuff.

Just horsing around…

Owl

Here is another card for the "pick a theme" swap at iATCs. As you can probably guess, the person’s theme choice was "owl."
