Selling Your Artwork

[Oblivious]

Has anyone ever sold their artwork for money? I'm considering starting what will probably be a small business selling my drawings. It would be interesting to hear if others have done this.

I recently ran across this site:

www.absolutearts.com

that allows you to post for sale, at no cost, 4 items. I doubt they do any marketing for you. It would be more beneficial to set up your own website (well done) and market it first to your friends and acquaintences.

And, depending on the drawings, getting a nice frame for them (something a little elaborate) greatly increases their presentability.

There are several things you need to look into, most notibly is expenses and as ElElohe mentioned, framing. As a small business, the Art community is a hard one to access. There are alot of on-line resources, from places you can sell one or two, to places who might handle all of the technical details for you. Creating a good resume with slides of your work, going to art exhibitions & galleries, also, marketing and exposure, will help getting things going.
