Whee, small business attempt...
For anyone who might have missed my post on the MLPArena, I have started a small online store, where you can buy orginal art by yours truly. At the moment, I'm just getting started, so I would love hear your thoughts and suggestions about the designs, possible products, marketing, etc., if you have them.

Muhahaha! I am gradually becoming proficient with this website design thing. It is very painful. I have consumed obscene amounts of tea over the last few days, but it's slowly coming together. I thought I'd post some tiny samples for anyone who's curious. The actual art is much higher resolution, of course. (Dang art theives are everywhere.)
This is the first design I knew I wanted to try and sell. I love how it came out. (That's probably kinda obvious. *grin) What's sad is, I think I may be my own first customer. *snerk*
I couldn't decide which version I liked better, so I ran with several variations of the same. (for all those people who're as tired of pink unicorns as I am, lol. Comes in pink, purples, blue, white&blue, traditional white&grey, and a lonely green who isn't uploaded yet. *g*
This one has rainbowy stars. I couldn't resist. *snicker*
And a Holiday card design. The text is just there for a sample thing. I'm offering Customized messages at the moment, but that may turn out to be a bad idea, lol.
Poor little pony looks so dull after all the unnatural colors I'm used to, lol. I like her though.
The only bad thing about the site is that they only allow me to put one of each type of object in a store, so I have to keep track of several stores in order to offer different colors and designs on, say, coffee mugs.
If things go well, I'll try the pay-version of the site, which eliminates that problem,, but I'm concentrating on building up a stockpile of art to use right now.
On that note, does anyone have a request? I'd be delighted to hear what kinds of images people are interested in.
