Shannon Kish - Artist

This is my art diary. I love to dabble in different things, but mainly I love to draw, sculpt and make jewelry. This site documents my lessons learned as I delve into other areas of "play."
As you can see, I have a bit of an obsession with big-headed men. I like the large craniums. Stay a bit and look around!

Time to sell, sell, sell!

Well, it's official. I've been partially laid-off from my "real" job as a programmer...the one that pays the bills. So I've got to start promoting my art with a vengeance. I've got my ETSY site and this blog and I'm on TalentDatabase.com (http://www.talentdatabase.com/channels/1-Art/profiles/1190201-alphagrl). But I've got to get out into the physical world (oy!) and pass out cards, talk to some art galleries, shops, sign up for some art festivals and such. I need advice! How do I make money selling my art? What are fair prices? Can I make enough to pay my bills and support my family? Now's the time to move, I suppose, but it's pretty darn scary making a change this big. Maybe we should sell our house and become gypsies...hmmmmm
