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.\u00a0 When I finally retire from my\u00a0regular 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.\u00a0 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\u00a0am spending my time.<\/div>\n

So,\u00a0shown above\u00a0are two ACEOs that I have up for auction on my eBay<\/a>\u00a0site.\u00a0 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\u00a0and not worry if things do not sell right away.\u00a0 I also registered at\u00a0 EBSQ<\/a>\u00a0as a self-representing artist.<\/p>\n

Shown below is an ACEO\u00a0I\u00a0have for sale at Etsy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
