Reply To: Selling Art?

I really like your photos, they have a lot of whatever it is that makes photos work. I can certainly see a market for them like you are noticing. Ever been to a doctor’s waiting room or the waiting room of any larger companies? Pictures like that are what cover the walls because they are a) pretty b) colourful c) not distracting. Trust me, I’ve seen many a waiting room in hospitals and in clinics (though not as a patient)

 

While they all are very nice they are rather limited in scope and I can imagine it’d be fairly hard to make a living off just images like that. The problem is if you move away from a site like red bubble is that you probably won’t get the same traffic. There’s probably thousands of people out there who’d happily buy your images at triple the prices they are charging there but they will never find you. If you however can get your images up at a local gallery things might be able to go in a different direction. It’s all about options and marketing really. Have you contacted any galleries to display your work?
