Studio Store is UP, and I'm not down yet either.
Just stopping in again- I've been on campus most of the day for... well, most of my days this and last month. Haven't been reading blogs and LJ's with any regularity, going to try doing a touch of catch-up tonight.
Must put in a little self-promotion here, my Studio Store is up and running, although the shipping setup is a temporary percentage-of-purchase one as I try and figure out what the heck is up with the USPS and FedEx calculators. But otherwise, I have some paintings, and LOTS of prints up at http://www.bakafox.com along with some other more studio-bloggish items. Things currently there range from about $4 to $75 plus tax, I don't have any really big work for sale there yet since I'm still figuring out shipping methods for those.
I'm not in the BBAC Gallery on the Square with my work at this time, so the online shop is about the only place my work's available until I can find other non-internet places to show.
The tee-shirt shop is not up yet, mostly due to lack of any good images of the shirts. I may soon give up on finding live models around here and just go ahead and put them on dummies, but I really was hoping to show living people in them.
Mom and I are going to San Antonio Thursday through Monday to see friends. Apparently we will be staying in a small 'getaway' apartment right on the Riverwalk, which sounds neat... friends are letting us use it for free ^^
The only slight worry is that it may not have internet. In which case expect me to be a twitching mess who glues self to machine on Tuesday.
The cats are all well, but we have several friendly ferals who are wanting to see what the whole 'inside cat' lifestyle is like. They're getting way too adept at dashing in when arms are full or when we're juggling indoor cats to keep them from going out. Fortunately they've been mostly easy to evict, other than my feeling like a heel doing so when it's 20 degrees Fahrenheit out.
Currently I'm looking at some art-print greeting cards I just ran out and trying to figure out how to price them. Most of my hand-printed cards to date have just ranged $3-4.50 depending on if they had by-hand effects on them or not, but these ones have a little larger space than most, and are a smaller run than I usually make them, and the non-greeting-card equivalent for this STYLE of print I've been listing at $20-25.
So it's a puzzler how I should price them- as a normal "art print" or as "greeting cards". Blast.
