How To Show Case To People Who Might Find An Interest In My Work?

first replace the snap shot avatar with something looking at us and brighter. you shouldn't seem disinterested.


then make sure you can print them - this has edges showing and is tight in the corner. you have so few keywords in this. list more. tell us about what this is, more than the medium.


this should be bigger, nothing more frustrating in finding out that not all images are the same size. everything should be poster sized, this needs a crop at the bottom. presentation is important.


i assume thats your name at the bottom, don't crop it off, they won't print it.

you'll want to increase your prices a bit

the thing that will be hard is finding an audience because these are all rather generic. typically if you make a series of say - old people you can find old, elderly,aged people, retiring people, golden year people and sell to them. but if you have a bunch of things you drew just because you felt like it - it will be harder to sell those.


you may be able to entice cat people, though i think your signing it too large, it becomes a distraction when you sign it like that. but if you go on twitter and mention #CatArt and the like - you may get buyers like that. if you had images of dancers, then you do the same thing.


sometimes its a title change - like i would call this the "knitting club" then you can apply it to them. a generic becomes a specific. then you can fill up your keywords as well. i don't know of how many would want a group of people talking. but if they were into the thing you title it - and describe it as - you have a better chance at selling it.


add the breed, three, 3, animal, vet,veterinarian, pet and anything else you can think of. again add descriptions so people can find you.

Eva,
I believe you are asking about "Marketing".

Learning effective marketing methods will be helpful to you going forward. I worked in - Marketing - for a very short time to try something new and found it was not for me.
However, I did learn how important it is for companies today. This applies to individuals as well. Since you are interested in the "commercial" aspects of "Art", selling as opposed to simply sharing, I recommend that you take a business approach by first:........(this is only just my opinion)
...1 - define yourself. - What kind of Artist are you? Once you answer this, it should be noted in the first paragraph of your biography.
...2 - seek help and advice from "outsiders" in-the-know. Not from family and friends (unless they are working in marketing today)
...3 - consider showing/displaying at local art fairs.
...4 - have and keep realistic expectations regarding meeting your goals. (always aim high! ...but remain grounded in reality)
...5 - don't be afraid of the unknown. Take chances with your art and explore.
...6 - trust your instincts.
...7 - stay true to your vision and heart. (art without heart....is just wallpaper)

You have only been a member of this Fine Art community for a few months and already have 11 followers. That's pretty good! and ....should be motivating.
Direct marketing is effective once you define your market.

Your art is "illustrative" and should be marketed to writers and book editors/publishers. Perhaps even web-designers.(i'm not saying that it's not "fine-art" but, I see it used to illustrate stories and ideas.)
Greeting cards as well.
Continue painting all subjects that interest YOU and then market your "style" rather than by subject. (just my opinion)

I really like the - "Puppies" illustration shown above in Mike's post. Consider Mike's advice. It's usually spot on and helpful. :-) eg; smaller signatures and clean edges.

I hope this helps a little and keep making Art!

Thank you so much Mike and Ken for your constructive advice. I have a lot to learn. I have to find a balance in what I really want:-).
