Congrats, Beachin!

I can't imagine trying to make it as a full time artist. Keep it up! Here's to many more sales, each one better & better!

Thanks! It's not easy...believe me! I'm in school full-time, too, so there's that added distraction.

On another topic, I discussed how hard it is for me to make decisions about business matters, who to trust, and how much I generally hate being the business manager as well as the artist.

If I had my druthers, I would just make art all day long, but my ambition is to be a KNOWN artist, not just an artist. On that, I will not waver. I want my name out there and my art in other people's homes, not my own.

It's not a greed thing, cuz my prices are low, low, low, and I really don't make much money at all. It's more the fact that I want people to enjoy my art as much as I do.

I'm getting there one sale at a time, though. I've had some good publicity locally and nationally and that helps.

Thanks for the support! I don't know what I would do without this forum. It's become my major support basis, as it's the only place I know of where so many like-minded artists hang out. I like it here.
