I started drawing mandalas in February 2014. I sold them on eBay that year—I think I sold five or six—then stopped selling them and instead just kept them for myself, thinking that it would be nice to publish a book of them, or to sell prints of them, at some point.
On November 10, I started selling prints. I've enjoyed selling prints. It feels more satisfying and less stressful than some other methods of earning money I've tried, like selling writing on Patreon, which I tried earlier this year and abandoned after four posts.

I believe there is a common adage about what sells in visual arts, and one of the categories is abstracts.

Deleteglad to see you selling mandalas. unrelated, what's your favorite translation of pessoa?
ReplyDeleteFor The Book of Disquiet, I've read Richard Zenith's and Margaret Jull Costa's and I remember preferring Zenith's, though maybe I just preferred his selection of what to include.
