I’ve opened my store! I’m selling prints of my art and also originals. Please consider looking over what’s there. If it fits into your budget and style, maybe even buy something. I wasn’t sure what you’d like though, so if there is something of mine you like, but don’t see in the store, please feel free to DM/email/talk to me and we can work it out. I hope something catches your eye! I’ve only sold work to friends so far, and this is the first time I’m selling things to the public. I’m excited and nervous. I mean a big part of this is hoping I’ll eventually make a steady income from my work. If you have any ideas or feedback, I’m very open to them.

My first post was about being afraid of writing, which is still true. I think opening up an online store is very much in the same vein of fear. Public, anonymous appraisal with the added complication of money. It’s taken me a lot longer to figure out how to open up my store than I thought it would. It’s been a lot of figuring out taxes, business registration, shipping costs, pricing, etc. I also care about the presentation of the work so I also spent time testing out different papers, different printing companies, different packaging, while meanwhile trying to minimize costs. I’ve also had to figure out what I can compromise. For example, I host my website off of Format, which had a built in Store feature. It’s the easiest place to launch my store, but it’s missing some features that I really wanted. For example, customizable sizing, and digital image renting/purchasing. Eventually, I’ll probably want to upgrade, but for now I want to get something out there so I can learn about how to do this online selling thing.

If you ever want to open an online business, please feel free to reach out because I have some tips, although, as stated, I’m still learning too.
