man in suit makes decision affecting thousands of non-suited individuals

  
Mood : started at the bottom and kinda like it here  Listening to: cat power

So I am seeing a pattern. . .with the last two times I have sat down to do some art for illustration friday. Apparently, I seem to be obsessed with fruit and flowers exploding from my art right now. Mehh. . .it’s summer.

I taught a few classes back in November. It was really – really wonderful. . .but at this point I have decided it just is not something I want to do at least not for the next couple of years. I just have so many other things I want to focus on. Speaking of which I was interviewed about my art for The Denver Post recently. The interviewer Dana (thank you Dana) – did a fabulous job.

Okay, back to what I was saying about not wanting to teach. I still want to share knowledge and other art swag. Besides so few things are free anymore. So clicking on the image below will get you the booklet in pdf form that I gave people who took my “Selling your art on eBay” class. For those of you who took it – gracie and well, you got the information eight months before it went public. I have updated it since then as well so you might want to scope it out. Ebay has been amazing for me and I am a complete geek about my feedback (1550 positives, no neutrals and no negatives baby). I actually thought it would die down once I opened my webstore. It hasn’t yet and I am finding that eBay, etsy and a webstore attract totally different people. However, I know eBay is not going to be my focus as much anymore now that I have my shop. ebay booklet

So hopefully this information can give someone else a jump start. P.S. It also has things that apply to etsy and well just selling your art on the internet. Here is the link for the successfully selling your art booklet. I release it into the public domain – share it and use it however you would like. Xo Tiffini

    oh, everyone sucking up to Tiffini… but, you deserve it really. Honestly! (not being a sarcastic Australian for once in my life).

    I love your Joan of Arc, keep going with your fruit and flowers… your sense of humour always makes me laugh.

    Thanks for the “selling on Ebay” PDF, I downloaded it, to see if you think I am doing anything wrong… possibly. (I am an ebay addict too, and an Etsy addict come to think of it).
