I think that boat has long sailed without me, have you seen how many colouring books there are on the market? It's annoying as I did think of the idea about 4 years ago and dismissed it as I really did not think that adults would want colouring in books... :s Now I dont think I could get a foot in the market and I am pretty sure that the artists that producing a lot of the drawings get paid peanuts for their work, even if I thought I could find the time.
I love them, I really do. Of all the art you create, the drawings are my favourite. I think you could turn them into cards (for birthday etc). Are there any shops in Weston that sell that kind of thing?
There probably are but I am crap at selling my products, much better at selling my services and I am not sure I can find anymore hours in the day to work on getting the cards made and promoting them. I sold a few as christmas cards last year (not put those designs up as I want to be able to use them again for cards to sell this year and dont want people pinching the design) in fact I think I sold all the cards I made last year. (rofl)
You can put the designs online with a watermark over them to stop people pinching them. I suppose you could sell through ebay, etsy?
I know you don't have a lot of time on your hands. What is H like as a salesperson?
I have added the two christmas card designs from last year to photobucket. I think I will need to do new designs this year anyway.
They sold cos they're stunning :)
