Operation: Early Bird (continued)

I've been doing a decent job of keeping up with my art endeavor. Time is rather tight but colored pencils (my modus operandi) are nice in that they don't require a lot of prep or clean up. By that, I do NOT mean colored pencils are easy. That's certainly not the case as they require just as much effort to master as any other medium. What I mean is simply that they don't require some of the extra work other material require. There's no cleaning of brushes. There's no curing of clay. You get the picture (Hah, get it...picture). I have taken and developed a few photos to serve as reference points but that's not exactly labor intensive.

I've been pleased with the results thus far. My goal is still to get an Etsy store up and running but, before I do that, I really think I need to have at least three different pieces of art to sell. So far, I have one completed and one in the works. More importantly, I think the second piece lends itself well to being the start of a kind of series and that feels promising. It at least puts off the question of "What will I work on next?" as I'm stare at a blank sheet of paper.

Prepping for Etsy leads to to this question...how does one go about getting prints made of artwork? Does anyone have experience in that? Or, do you just search the Yellow Pages and try out a printer? I'm curious if any of my regular readers have any ideas.

And don't get me started on coming up with a name for an Etsy shop. I have no idea.
