1,000 True Fans

I find this concept fascinating and inspiring. As an artist on a path to making a living from what I create, this idea spoke to me. http://www.kk.org/thetechnium/archives/2008/03/1000_true_fans.php

Any thoughts?

I saw this, too, and found it inspiring.

There's a pastor whose blog I read. He's also an artist, and started posting pictures occasionally on his blog for sale via eBay. They've been selling pretty well and he's opened his own store on etsy as well. I don't think he'll ever be famous, but he has a small group of dedicated fans who look forward to seeing and purchasing his new paintings.

So if you ever want to get started selling your paintings, it might not be a bad idea to post them here first!

Ooh...thanks for the links! What an interesting person. I like his blog and his art. Minimal and evocative. Wow.

I plan on posting my paintings here when I start selling them. Actually, before I start selling them...just to show others and keep a record of sorts of my progress.
