Okay, okay.

I am seriously considering making an Etsy account for selling. But before I dive head first into a potentially very bad idea, I need to gauge interest.

If I were to make small, silly pieces like this guy, or sell prints like this guy, or take custom orders, would anyone be interested in purchasing

Do you really think so? That's so nice of you to say. I don't know... I have no idea how to promote myself. I think my work is etsy-appropriate, but I don't know really the demographic/what is most often purchased.

Thanks so much! Yeah, those are excellent ideas. If you don't mind my asking, how much do people generally charge for prints/small original art? I'm sort of clueless about pricing.

Chica, I'll take anything/everything. Well, not literally everything, since I'm poor. But yeah, INTERESTED for sure.

Bb, you don't need that garbage littering your household.

That reminds me, I need to send your book still!

[intotheaether]

I'd forgotten that, you totally do! But take your time, bb.

But seriously, how much would you charge for something of yours? Besides the book (though I'd be more than happy to pay you something for that too, wtf!)? Like...something small. Or the triptych, except you should sell that for like a billion dollars, so I wouldn't buy it.

It will be sent soon! The past few weeks have been kind of crazy, but I'm hoping it will slow down a bit with FCAT in town.

I really don't know! how much to charge! Since I'm a student, I probably won't charge much--maybe $15 for an original painting, 7$ for a print, a book maybe $10-15 as well, and triptych... well, it's a pain in the ass to mount/get board, so maybe $30? I'd have to do research about pricing, but I do want to make it affordable. Laser prints and surface[s] for painting are kind of expensive; I would need to factor that in.

Long response is long. Idk! Bb, you're not paying for anything wtf. I'd happily send you a Bunch O' Stuff, free of charge. I'm honoured to know you like it wtf. But, again, visitors of your household might smell the Suck and flee in disgust.

Due to financial constraints, I can not purchase, but should I come into a lot of money HELL YES I would buy your artwork.

I think you'd be great on Etsy and I still think a book of your artwork would be amazing.

Thank you so much. :) I just might try this! I'm glad to hear people interested in my stuff.
