New Papercutting Artist Looking For Friends Along The Way

Hello,

I've just joined this community today. I am green in terms of self-promotion, self-taught in the art of papercutting and web design. I'm interested in arts of all kinds, business, and the brilliant courage of entrepreneurs. I want to learn from other artists--- how have you come to take yourself seriously without being pretentious and maybe sell something along the way? How does one approach this and other online venues to sell? I'm honest in my feedback and looking for the same.

Is there anyone out there?

Thanks for reading,

Jena Argenta

Absolutely beautiful work Jena. My guess is there is a market for your work. How to find it, that I will leave for others better at such suggestions than I.

As Ed mentioned above, check out Alfred Ng. I think paper cutting art is beautiful and delicate - you and Alfred may actually have a corner on that medium here. I have not searched to find out.

Gorgeous! I love paper cuts! Welcome!

 

You have some awesome images. I especially love the peacock. To answer your question about self promotion and not coming across as pretentious- just be yourself. By being yourself, people who like you will naturally follow you and you're not putting on an act. Just show them the real you, for better or for worse.
