Yikes, I'm still trying to wrap my brain around the idea that anybody would buy my art, but maybe by planning, thinking, visualizing, and a bit of luck-someday I might actually NEED a plan. Definitely something to think about.</p> Business plan, now why didn't that ever even cross my mind?

Running the numbers is an eye-opening experience. I've been doing it as well. I haven't come up with a specific plan, as you have, but am now inspired to do so.

I have no experience with art agents but think your focus on creating a lot of work to sell is the right one.

Thanks - uh, business plan? Good idea! Do I have one? <br /> Tiny voice in reply: uh, not really...<br /> I think the above Etsy shop and/or E-bay would be a great way to introduce more people to your work and possibly generate more sales. A whole world of shoppers out there. You can link those shops to your blog here, too, to help generate more potential sales. <br /> I don't know if you want to stay strictly original art or if you'd consider licensing, but possibly either your Ugly Fish or Wylde Women might be of interest to a company to reproduce them.<br /> Thanks for the wake-up call - I needed that. :-)<br /> </p> Oh, there's that splash of cold water I needed to wake me up!

as for brainstorming:
what about using the internet to your advantage…
a website for your art
an etsy
deviant art
ect……..

good luck and thank you for sharing this way of thinking! :)
