Starving Artists are Better Off Online
If you’ve ever been through the work of transporting your artwork back and forth to a gallery without experiencing a single solitary sale, it’s time you considered selling your artwork online.
Look, it’s one thing if you have a name for yourself, but if you don’t, chances are you won’t sell anything in the beginning. You have only the expenses of transportation, gas, hotel and food for the privilege of showing off your artwork.
The economy is bad enough and no one is running around scooping up artwork. The only way to survive as a starving artist online is to find websites to show your work off for free. You don’t worry about people touching your work or the hardship of shipping your paintings back and forth and setting them up. Even in a flea market, you still have to pay for space.
