capitalism/horsies

[maria_sputnik]

Two things:

1. I set up an etsy shop! So if you want to buy comics, you can do it there.

(If you already asked for a comic and gave me your address, your comics were free! and are currently on their way.)

2. Drunk Pony Fished From Swimming Pool

Aww, sold out already!

:(

[maria_sputnik]

no, i just don't know how to work etsy -- there are plenty of copies, i just needed to increase the number from "1." it's up again, now.

[rosiedee]

Goodness, that was a process!

[maria_sputnik]

Did you have to sign up? Maybe I should try a different method of internet capitalism, like just having people paypal me directly :P

seems difficult to do remotely

[maria_sputnik]

have you ever tried the book "drawing from the right side of the brain"?

love and ponies

[maria_sputnik]

that pony story would just confuse things. it confuses me!

also

i'm going to start selling dog portraits on etsy, and i was thinking maybe you should sell cat portraits there! that is, if you are still into doing that. i swear, a little promotion and you could be rolling in a stack of cat-portrait dollar bills

[maria_sputnik]

No, the presidents aren't sold out -- I am just not good @ operating etsy! There's a bunch of 'em up there if you want to point people to it. (Also, in PDX, there's gonna be a handful @ guapo and floating world.)

I want to see a picture of a puppet! Are there any puppets already in existence, or are they all currently residing in the mysterious kingdom inside yr head?

i like it!

[maria_sputnik]

hmm...no camera makes internet capitalism more challenging.

i'm gonna be in pdx october 29 and 30 (i'm going to my friend vanessa's book reading on the 29th -- you're invited if you'd like). if you wanted to schedule a meeting between me and puppets i could take some 'o their pictures.

also, how's the bugzine coming along? i am atwitter with anticipation.

I hearted your shop

Yay! Now we're etsy friends. Hooray to you for taking the capitalistic plunge. Your adoring fans want more.

[maria_sputnik]

hearted? <3

hey, so if i have like forty copies of the same zine, on etsy i have to pay twenty times forty to upload the whole possible inventory? that is sort of less than ideal. considering i'm only charging a dollar fifty to begin with. i think i need to work on my capitalism a bit more

[d_o_i_l_y]

yep 20 times 40. or you can hit re-list each time you sell one - that's what I do on my knitting patterns. That makes it show up like a new listing, too, so you get to be on top of the list again and your thing is on the home page for about three seconds.

Plus paypal takes like 40 cents off each 1.50 we pay you. So you wind up with 90 cents. Use it to buy more ink.

this is not a get rich quick scheme then

[maria_sputnik]

how's it going with the guatemalan knitting collectives, btw?
