everyone has the potential to sell. but you have to think about the type of people that will buy it, and advertise to them.

Photography Prints
but for starters you need work that's printable. this looks like you shot it in a moving bus. it's very motion blurred. remove all that stuff from the description, only describe what this is. if you know it's blurry, as stated - don't post it. you should only show your best and that's all. if it's soft, even as an original, you'll look like an amateur. you need more keywords describing the scene, country of origin, ethnicity, religion etc

Art Prints
this one has compression issues and rainbow noise. a buyer may be turned off, and it will probably not print. again - keep the description simple, the buyer doesn't know or care about features, and it just makes the page look messy.

Art Prints
see the corner? you shouldn't. it's also crooked and its not in focus. presentation is very important. even if it wasn't being sold as a print, and it was only a gallery image - all images should be in focus, not dark (not if it wasn't originally), not crooked, noisy, or blocky.

Art Prints
i can see this selling. but be sure to mention the type of flower it is, the time of year, colors, etc. things people would type to find something.

Art Prints
this one is way too small



you should be charging more for your work by the way - after you get better scans of your work.

Photography Prints
be careful about the corners darkening. its not that sharp. many of these images won't print due to clarity issues. and if you can't fix them, you lose a sale and maybe a customer.

Art Prints
this has very limited use. it's also spelled wrong, unless the a has a line hidden. it's very soft, it's been enlarged 3 times. if you want to sell big, you have to start big.

Art Prints
you don't want that white line on the bottom. the name is rather close to the edge as well. its not that sharp, looks enlarge by about 10%.

overall i see work that could sell, but you have a lot of issues with clarity. the description box should only be for the describing of the items. not the features you got, it only adds clutter. after that increase prices, and advertise. your bio is ok, but i would break it up into paragraphs to make it easier to read.

Absolutely! You Do!! Your Art is Unique and has a strong message with each piece! Make contacts, personally, with many professionals in the Art Business. You art is also powerful for making statements for Advertising, Corporations, Non-Profit Organizations, etc., etc. They will pay you to design and create images which makes statements in concert with their organizations. You Art has a Point of View! Very Valuable!!!

Don't Stop! Keep Going Every Day. You will find many markets....It's All Personal! From Ross Lewis

You do but listen to the words of Mike S.
The photographs or scans of your artwork have to be the best quality that you can do.
Buyers will be put off by problems with focus etc and may not come back for a second look

I think we all have the potential to sell but will we do so?

Your art is very unique and has the potential too. I would like to share mt recent experiece to help more. One buyer liked one of my photograph very much but lost interest later as it was not avaible in wallpaper size. Also he didn want my signature on the print. So higher resolution and crisp images are very important !!

I am also working on it.

Good luck !!

Do not ever enlarge

I look forward to seeing better images of your lovely work
